Well then, I guess the real question is...will he add the photo of himself with the porn 'stache and the leopard drawers to his listings to try and drum up some bids?

I mean, that picture literally sums up the entire mystery...

Well he added some photos of Heritage's supposedly awful 9.4 to his own eBay listing.  It is the same book I referenced, however his photos have been thoroughly manipulated to overexpose or invent extra flaws.

this book was most likely a file copy with a publishers glued on the cover.

"Publishers glued on the cover"?

Must have been published by the Lilliputians if somehow the publishers wound up glued to the cover.

My final thoughts to him on the matter:

"Sorry, but pictures can and do lie, and your photos paint a starkly different picture than Heritage's. While theirs appear to have been generated by a hi-res scanner, yours appear to have originated from a phone or digital camera and were then fed through any number of commonly available distortion effect filters.

Again, best of luck to you, but any experienced collector is going to see right through your listing."

You're wasting your time arguing with Theo.

Hilarious. He's also listed it twice, with two different BIN prices  

But for more entertainment, check out his other listings at bargain prices...including a painting with a BIN of $1.5 million that he claims was the inspiration for the Disney "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride. Here's an awesome quote from the listing: 

" I have studied Thurl Ravens face from this I’ve determined that he was the model for this first Captain Jack Painting! He was also used as a model in the talking head in the Haunted Mansion which was verified by a him admitting this on a Disney movie video! This is a one of a kind theme park prop painting of what i " "believed" to be the first "Captain jack Sparrow" titled " Captain one eyed Jack" what appears to be from the first Disneyland 1967 Pirates of the Caribbean ride!,

To bad he doesn’t ship to Canada.   What a missed opportunity.

Canada, huh? He won't deliver there? Lady luck herself must be sitting atop your shoulder!

Can one report this listing as fraudulent based on the item description?

Probably not, having a totally idiotic opinion isn't fraud.
