This is in regards to the FAKE IRONMAN COMIQUETTE that I purchased last October. Well, I was surprised that the seller actually replied, however, his answer was exactly what I thought it would be.

Here is my initial eBay email to him:
Hello,
I bought the "Sideshow" Ironman comiquette from you last October. It was a long time ago, but I JUST found out last week that it is a fake. A friend on a model message board told me that the REAL statue has a square foot peg and copper neck pegs. The one you sold me has aluminum neck pegs and a round foot peg. I emailed Sideshow and they confirmed that the REAL Ironman has a square footpeg and copper neckpegs. I wanted to give you a chance to fix this before I tell several model message boards and model collectors your ebay USER ID and that you sell FAKE Sideshow items.
Thank you for understanding and I look forward to your response,
Jason

Dear usjrc77,
Hi Jason, I didn't know it was fake on the first place. I purchased it locally at a comic shop around the same price as my starting bid. As it was hot in the market then I decided to sell. I posted many pics and pictures that you requested and I was open with regards in showing you what you were getting then. I'm not selling any other statues and it was the only time I did, so no point in posting to the boards. As much as I'd like to change things, I wouldn't be able to return the payment you made as I've already spent it. This wasn't really expected and I don't know how to resolve this.

I am not sure whether there is any point in continuing to contact him and, if he really thought it was real (like I did for five months), I do feel like it is a case of "who gets stuck with the rotten egg."
