ENOUGH! Please don't add fuel to the drama fire. Add INFORMATION about the product itself.

Enough has been said. So please stop the attacks on my friend's auction. Thank you.

What is that supposed to be? A box with 3 telstar legs inside it.

Thank you for the facts CL. Those of us who are not knowledgeable on Mathmos products need expert input on what is genuine vs. modified. I would hate to spend hard earned money for something rare that turned out to be common

Since we can all read the auction, lets' not go on and on with adding fuel to the fire by restating what is there.

The only worthwhile additions that can be of any use in this thread now is showing people the comparatives of what to look for.

Historical review and pictures. Enough has already been said and it's getting to a point where the thread should probably be closed unless there are informative posts.

I'm also going to reiterate

"ENOUGH! Please don't add fuel to the fire. Add INFORMATION about the product itself."

Further posts about the auction and/or it's seller will be removed without warning.

There is a pretty clear statement on the auction saying, bring it to the attention of the seller directly.

firstly, a small appology and it is a small one, the Black Telstar being sold lately that caused a major stir on here, was possibly real, it seems that Mathmos made a small number of items in Black, a member on here has a Black Phantomlite and I hate to say it, when going through the mass of lamps and boxes yesterday I discovered a Black Sputnik that I brought on ebay in November, this is what happens when you have to much you loose track...But the box was still a homemade....So make of it what you want...
