    The pictures are from real picks but those aren't the ones he sells, those are pictures from other collectors; Remember always be cautious when the picks come from Canada!

    I think there's one thing we can all learn from this.. Under no conditions can any Canadian be trusted. Ever.

    This guy's eBay account is messed up too. Say's it ships to Canada but when I put in Nova Scotia & my area code, it wouldn't work. :/

    Also be cautious when you buy picks from below the USA border. I've seen tons of bootlegged picks coming from Mexico. And not just picks ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX-v8kC-8n4 .

    I've never seen picks from Mexico, if anyone have examples please let me know.

    Shipped from eBay sellers from Mexico? I've seen them. And not just there. I've seen many user's from USA, UK & Italy selling counterfeit picks. Friends who have sent 10club emails to confirm if they were real or fake. It's not just Canada eBay sellers that you all have to be cautious, but sellers from all over the world. Best you get some info & background about the user and the origin of the pick before you make the purchase.

    interesting - the period from 2008-2011 saw a glut of candian sellers hit the pick market - most notably the classic 'Diverdowner'. His picks were absolute garbage. I bought one of his cheap ones as a test once to see how bad they were, he ended up sending three, god knows why, and then due to a delay in shipping meaning it looked like it had been lost, he sent another......This was a fairly rare pick, and he sent me 4.

    He then changed his ebay name after getting rumbled, as well as sell through 4 identities. Clever stuff, or maybe not

    So I'm guessing this is just the new incarnation of "Diverdowner"

    good work fellas. It's embarassing on ebay's part that when you report the item, it goes unheard...like echoes....
