: What do you reckon? : Morningangel-Iola July 07, 2005, 06:15:49 AM Mike and I aren't awfully convinced :-\
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=790&item=7529243619&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW They have other 'props' too : Re: What do you reckon? : ferdinand_the_yak July 07, 2005, 06:18:20 AM Nope... looks like another fake to me... :P
: Re: What do you reckon? : Morningangel-Iola July 07, 2005, 06:19:37 AM They have the cheek to put a picture of the real ones next to it too :-\
: Re: What do you reckon? : EmmasOneandOnly July 07, 2005, 06:21:59 AM I know, the writtens to small and the seal is not even wax
: Re: What do you reckon? : blackcat20 July 07, 2005, 06:57:58 AM it looks a bit too green also, but that just might be that the shot from the movie isnt that great...
: Re: What do you reckon? : grecopa July 07, 2005, 07:27:03 AM The type face is slightly different. You can tell by the "P" in Privet. It's great for a replica, though. They should have advertised as such. >:() Also, I can buy those Pirates Dobloons down the road in St. Augustine FL. They sell them in the tourist shops for about $1.
: Re: What do you reckon? : Morningangel-Iola July 08, 2005, 02:47:29 AM Yeah if the advertised it as a replica that would have bee ok but not as the real thing >:(
: Re: What do you reckon? : rns91294 July 08, 2005, 03:28:33 AM I think it is slightly different too, but nice. Did anyone see the howler that was up for auction? Love it:

: Re: What do you reckon? : ArwenEvenstar July 08, 2005, 03:39:42 AM That Privet Drive letter is definetely a fake. The script is way too wobbly and are arent even written straight on the page. Good spotting guys. :)
: Re: What do you reckon? : Nienna July 08, 2005, 04:00:14 AM Re: Howler prop ... yep, it's the same seller Dawn and she's VERY good to deal with ... she has wonderful items and packs them really well for transit and takes time and effort over her emails too.
From what she told me my months ago, she travels upto Collectormania and similar memorabilia shows to buy her stock and from what I've seen the majority of her items are proper licensed ones, hence the higher starting price on many of them. I hesitate to recommend sellers, but she's excellent. (no ... I'm not working on commission for her and she's not related to me either! LOL :P ) As for the Hogwarts letter ... yeah I agree, it's a fake and it should really have been listed as a replica n doubt about it. And ... it's someone from my home town selling it too ... wonder who it is!? ::) : Re: What do you reckon? : Morningangel-Iola July 08, 2005, 04:03:28 AM Are you going to go around looking accusingly at people?
I've just bought two of the tote bags which I am hoping will come in the post tomorrow I have been after one for such a long time and have at last got one (the other ones for mum) ;D : Re: What do you reckon? : EmmasOneandOnly July 08, 2005, 11:14:07 PM I got a Acceptance Letter from the seller of the Howler that looks better then this one ::)
: Re: What do you reckon? : Sharon July 09, 2005, 12:25:39 AM I have to say that Howler is lovely, but I still think Luluhime's Howler can't be beaten. Wonder how the Marauders Map is coming on?
And I am on the 'yes it is fake' bench. The G's look different, I think the Mr is too close to the H and the address is centred differently on the envelope. Look where the word 'stairs' finishes. : Re: What do you reckon? : rns91294 July 09, 2005, 12:52:15 AM I have to say that Howler is lovely, but I still think Luluhime's Howler can't be beaten. Where can I see that one? : Re: What do you reckon? : EmmasOneandOnly July 09, 2005, 12:53:54 AM I have to say that Howler is lovely, but I still think Luluhime's Howler can't be beaten. Where can I see that one? Look in the More Then One Maraduers Map??? Thread : Re: What do you reckon? : Sharon July 09, 2005, 01:06:15 AM Here's the Ebay link (Wow I had forgotten how big that Marauders thread was :o )

: Re: What do you reckon? : Morningangel-Iola July 09, 2005, 02:10:31 AM Well I got my tote bags today and they are really nice and brilliantly packaged. It even came by owl post well it said so on the packet, but I think the owl handed it to the posty ;)
: Re: What do you reckon? : Nienna July 09, 2005, 02:48:22 AM hee hee I'm not at all surprised she did that Dawn ... told you she was good to deal with and her packaging is superb ~ it has to be if it's travelling by owl post!! ;D
I think she put LOTR-related stuff on the packaging of the things I bought from her .. a really nice touch and made me laugh when I saw it. ;) I know you were after the bags a little while ago and glad you got them today ... a little something to cheer you up. ;D : Re: What do you reckon? : grecopa July 09, 2005, 02:51:30 AM What ever happened to Luluhime? I never see her on the forum anymore and she doesn't seem to be putting up anymore howlers on ebay. Her's were the BEST!
: Re: What do you reckon? : Morningangel-Iola July 09, 2005, 02:54:51 AM Oh I've been after her bags for ages I'm glad I got them at last ;D
: Re: What do you reckon? : Nienna July 09, 2005, 03:08:08 AM Is she at school/College? I'm not sure if all the exams are done with ... I think they are ... or maybe she's on holiday for a couple of weeks ... perhaps she's working and hasn't the time to go online as she once did?
Not too sure where she's got to, just hope she's okay! ;) : Re: What do you reckon? : Morningangel-Iola July 09, 2005, 03:13:33 AM I think she might have been having some personal problems or something. I miss her :(
