BTW i had reported him to ebay while the auction was running but like i said they don't seem to care..thats why i wanted to bring this auction to the attention of people who do

I'd already had a run-in before with this seller an knew he was a counterfeiter his previous account got shut down..basically this guy checks out places such as popsike for the most valuable demotapes then attempts to duplicate them..i think hes a graphic designer and can do decent repros of tape labels/covers from pics that are already online and the music is just downloaded anywhere..hes conned alot of people before and made ALOT  of money.. he will now attempt to sell to any of  the next highest bidders..so please report him to ebay...not that they care, but it might prevent him doing this again..and again..its fraud.. 

The original tape should have five screws(standard with most 80s cassettes his had none) he made the cover red as this would hide the lack of discolouring that you would get with 30 year old paper/cover

I was wondering what other GnR collectors opinions were about this tape for auction on ebay now.. Obviusly this would be a very rare an sought after item if it was indeed an original, but upon contacting the seller he offers no provonence..seems this would be something that could easily be counterfeited..any thoughts?  thanks
