Most don't know what is fake, or what price is reasonable (and they can't be bothered with clicking a few extra buttons to find out). Quote

What's especially frustrating is, if you search for LEGO, these knock-offs show up. If I search for a LEGO set number and one of these knock-offs shows up, that seller should be banned, because s/he isn't actually selling that set number. A lot of these places are honest that it isn't LEGO and have a bunch of feedback--how are they allowed to keep doing this? Because Ebay is taking 10%? Quote

MoHu Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 My theory is the museum is doing the best as its the cheapest scooby do set you can get. A couple of ££ more will get you an upgrade to the plane. Another few ££ and you get the MM. Apart from the sellers, its the next lego set up thats holding the price of the Museum "down" (if you can call a £12 set selling for £35 - £40 as bad). Quote

Hmmm....I wonder if a SNAD could be filed for buying a set like that. Quote
MrBrick123 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I report every fake lego as counterfeit on ebay. Holding one sd museum and mystery plane. In fact I've never sold one brick of lego. Quote

Alibaba and others are allowed to sell L***N in the UK. I no longer report unless the price is sey too low with no feedback, suggesting a scam. Quote
