I deleted the prior post as the link was not working. Let's try this Googled link:

For some reason or other, it just won't work right so cut and paste the entire line to see it.

People may or may not be aware that there are alot of Eddie Van Halen striped Zippo lighters out there that could be counterfeit. Back in 2004 during the reunion tour with Sammy Hagar, Zippo produced striped lighters and they were sold via the web through feamerch.com for $25.00 each and were in short supply, sellling out rather quickly. However, if you check eBay, there's a dude in Canada selling them for between $75.00-$150.00 and his supply never dwindles. This guy is well known in the rock memorabilia world for printing stuff up like T shirts, posters, guitar picks, etc. and advertising it as collectible, but it's all a ruse to get you to part with big bucks for fake stuff. You don't even have to hassle with an auction and can buy the lighters on his website at a premium. I surmise he's somehow counterfeiting the Zippos so be careful, I doubt anyone could have a never ending stash. One of his ploys on eBay is to sell them using various IDs to throw people off, but if it comes from Canada and the auction is private, chances are it's bogus.
Plus, it's kind of a vicious circle, people buy Van Halen Zippos from him thinking they're real and then auction or sell them off not knowing, so there's no telling what's real and what isn't. The quality of the fakes is undeniable, he's got counterfeiting down to a science and is basically printing money.
I'm not saying that pittbull's is counterfeit, but just a heads up because that Canadian guy wouldn't think twice about selling you a fake and telling you it ain't.
