Has anyone here had good or bad experiences with ebay sellers from Greece? I've never dealt with anyone from Greece, but I've heard from some dealers and collectors (as far back as the early 90s) that Greek collectors and dealers have a collective rep for being rather shady. Apologies to any Greeks posting here for the broad generalization. I see some interesting items on ebay from Greek sellers from time to time, so any info would be appreciated. I'm sure some are reliable and some are jerks.
A quick example of why I'm asking: a seller in Greece has a copy of the Joe Step LP listed on ebay currently. However, the picture in his auction is taken from an old auction now listed on popsike. This kind of thing always sets off warning lights to me. The minimum bid is too high for me to consider anyway, but it still struck me as iffy. |

Can't say for the LPs, but in the CD circles, Greek ebay sellers have the similar reputation as traders from Philliphines - avoid at any cost!  |

I believe this is the reincarnation of ebay seller Ritroids, who was banned recently. It seems that nothing can't stop him ... :/ |

In short:
"IT IS NOT A CD-R. IT IS A FACTORY PRESSING BUT I AM NOT SURE IT IS THE FIRST PRESS [EDITION] " - This means identical bootleg  |

This guy needs new ink by the looks of it.  the attila and heavy load looks like it was printed on a printer running out of ink. |

| Most of these also look like they have no back cd inserts like they are in a jewel case with a white back or if they do they are only printed one side as you can plainly see white on the spine side and most back inserts do have artwork across them or the band uses a black cd holder so you don't see the plain white backing. |

I'm always very careful when it comes to Greek dealers, though it's usually easy to recognize the good from the scum. |

I had bought from "Riotrods" in the past and never had trouble. That's not saying he isn't a ripoff though. |
