Hi Stuart, Several people have contacted me about the fakes. I can't understand why his feedback is so good. The seller bought some calibration standards from me which I clearly stated were damaged. I did at the time notice they left about 25% negative or neutral feedback, so was expecting that, but they never left any feedback for me.
