This is what I managed to fit in the small number of letters eBay allows when you report an item.

"Typewriter was used to fake Tolkien letters such as this faked Signed Letter.Dr Higgins is also fake".

Well at least we know who faked these letters and the typewriter that was used to do it. I wonder if the Tolkien Estate could take any action against this seller.

I'm going to make an appeal here.

I am so disgusted by this appalling eBay listing that I would ask any member who has an eBay account to please report this item as a fake to eBay.

Thanks in advance for your help to stop these people.

Worst Tolkien fake item ever on eBay - Please report as fake

That is the most ridiculous listing I've ever seen. I really think at this point it is starting to get out of hand; I think the Tolkien Estate or Christopher Tolkien should be contacted. That seller needs to be removed from eBay. It really is disheartening that eBay continues to allow the seller to list such items, despite the many reports that have been made.

I reported the item; please do likewise.

What do you guys think of this one?

It seems strange to me that Tolkien would have signed this. Has anyone seen anything like it before?

It is not possible to trust any items sold by this seller. I noticed that no one this time around was taken in by his typewrite (sic) as it did not sell.

I'm become more and more angry... I was hoping the typewriter would have been the last one! The nightmare goes on...
