[AJD] JD Vintage Tractor Parts Catalog CD's on eBay

[Dean VP]

Ron:

Could you send me a picture of it?  At $350 to $400 a copy for each CD I
could see where an enterprising individual could/would make an excellent
copy of the original label and have duplicate, glue-on labels made to
emulate the original label. I had wondered how long it was going to take. 

You have quite a while before you have to leave feedback. Let's do some
investigation here and see if we can determine if it is the real McCoy or
not. If it is an illegal copy they can be stopped almost instantly. 

As an alternate, you could send the seller a simple question and ask him why
the label is glued on vs screened on. Might be interesting to see what the
response is.

I got it this week.  It is probably a copy as the label is not screened 
on the disc as Dean says it should be.  However, it is a really fine 
copy if that is the case and it works fine.  I can't imagine anyone 
going to such lengths to produce such a perfect copy, but stranger 
things can happen, and I guess the profits would be good until you were 
caught.  I would swear it to be genuine.  Not really sure what kind of 
feedback to leave.  Maybe none???
