Tom Ford James Bond Ties: An Annoying Development

Have you guys noticed a proliferation of ebay auctions from sellers claiming they're selling Bond ties?

Apparently Daniel "Greg" wore this tie.

The title description in the second one is a peach. It's like saying 'I am selling a tie that was in a James Bond film, or at least looks like it could have been in a James Bond film,but I'm not exactly sure. You can buy it for $1k if you like'.

What a joker.

Yeah saw a bunch of them go up lately, the main dude selling was the one who had about 5 of the Skyfall Blue tie (from the MI6 Bunker headquarters) which I bought off him. He didn't realise what he was selling but somebody must have tipped him off as he joined here the next day. Now he seems to link as much as he can to Bond and 99% of the time its not SA at all.

It's especially annoying that the first one didn't even get the right scene/picture of DC to match with the tie they're selling.

Also does anyone know anything about 'Daniel Craig' brand ties? There seems to be a brand, unaffiliated with the real DC, that sells ties on ebay. Wtf?

This happens a lot with costuming, someone turns a profit on a sale to a fan, then tries to start a cottage industry by selling similar items at grotesque prices. The results are normally cringe-worthy.

Anyway, I can spot a few things there that are probably listing violations, so if its annoying anyone, they can go ahead and flag these auctions.
