I wouldn't doubt it. Not every seller is out to scam you, though it seems many people think otherwise.

The Vendetta bootleg looks 100% "bootleg" already from the colors (front and backcover etc.) ^^

Would you know that the cover coloration was different if you didn't have an original to compare to?

I didn't even know there was a Vendetta bootleg. Sure the "USDM" is a dead giveaway now, but years ago when I bought my Deathrow boot I had no way of knowing. Not everyone scours forums all day looking for the pertinent information.

If the Matrix is there then I would say that's half the bidders fault for not doing some research before bidding.
What bullshit. Just because you guys do nothing all day but research and discuss matrix codes means that everybody should?

Fine, I can see your point of view but then the seller wouldn't be at fault either because perhaps he knows nothing about Matrix codes as well. He could have legitimately thought it was an original first pressing...

To be honest, I would think that anyone interested enough to spend big bucks on first pressing CD's would know and care enough to distinguish to a certain point or at least look around a little bit before dropping that kind of money. In most cases there are re-issues for a lot of releases where if you were just purchasing the CD for the music you wouldn't have to worry about the authenticity of the item.

And why is he writing matrix codes in the descriptions in first place, since he "doesn't know nothing" about originals/boots ? =)

Those prices are crazy but at least I don't feel bad about Kevin receiving those kinds of bids. He's probably the most honest, kind and easy to deal with guy out there. Good for him.

It appears he is selling his whole collection ?

He's repeated sold several items all of different conditions. I think he's sourcing his stuff from somewhere, most likely in the US because the majority of his stuff are US pressings. Unless he stockpiled this stuff in the mid 90’s when it was dirt-cheap dollar bin material.

What a joke, surely it was reshrinkwrapped, how else does it have hole punch through the cover but not the shrinkwrap. Either way that price
