ebayer on-axet obviously sells reprinted OBIs for Japanese vinyl release which are missing these. Not exactly a fake warning, but as you can see from the seller's feedback page, some of the buyers feel fooled...

On the other hand: why exactly would someone sell OBIs, if not for 'upgrading' OBI lacking items for further sales

"***Only OBI*** ebay items

the seller is Jeroen van der Wiel (ebay seller name jjwiel, Discogs member name rompipompi who tries to sell these obscure "Book & CD, limited to 35 copies" packages every now and then (now mostly on Discogs). All with these shiny front cover appearance. Not sure though if he produces them himself or not. There once was another ebayer who sold quite some of this stuff as well: andy-chant

At least on Discogs, the characteristics of these items seem to be as follows:

• - shiny cover artwork
  - "Book & CD"
  - (numbered and) limited edition of 35 copies
  - pricey (on Discogs mostly around EUR 69.00)

I have some japanese LPs without OBI, maybe I could get one those to complete the set [edit] $10?! crazy prices!

Not sure if there's a new bootleg maker in town or if one of the previous ones (namely the book guy) has made a new account...

These are Eye of the Storm bootlegs, which are kinda ok bootlegs from South America (I suspect). Most, if not all, of these are audio from TV broadcasts. I bought the Paris 2007 one a few years ago.

Wouldn't pay that much for a (probably) fake signature

This seller sells existing 7" singles with new sleeve "designs":

Checkout his other items NSFW !!!

I could see myself buying that thing off eBay just so it would go away

(Well, almost )

(regarding the other listings, I wonder if he's ever going to make one for a Chronologie release )

I'm not sure this is real:

Deserted Palace for 250 euro, but the sleeve looks fake. Look at the back of the sleeve and how close JMJ's name is at the edge.

the description says:

"LP Jean Michel JARRE Deserted Palace this is a reproduction without matrix numbers probably issued in 2014 as a small run for JMJ collectors, private pressing ? "

Oh, the description was hidden in de ebay app
