Typical fake with the too thick body & the tush attached to the body instead of the wing. Plastic eyes instead of the real thread eyes.

Seller tried to sell this Flutter (unsold), a Web (Seller Ended) and a Peking (pulled for disclaimer) in December, 2007.

This appears to be a dishonest seller in more ways then one. Just check his feedback. In one case he sent buyer an empty envelope because buyer didn't purchase insurance. This seller is not to be trusted, but allowed to sell anyway by ebay.

The bids are rather high on this item considering it is not authenticated and an obvious fake for us that knows what an authentic one looks like.

$202 for fake Flutter from a seller at 96% feedback. Unbelievable!

way_point is getting quite the collection of fakes! He doesn't know beans about Beanies. Be careful buying from him.

I love MA and her records Smile


Unreal price for a fake. It's funny....people on the Ty board keep saying prices are going down. Dealers are reporting prices have been going up, up, up for the really rare beanies. The offline prices (private client lists) are really up there right now.

The highest price I've ever seen for a Fake Flutter. An absolutely beautiful one that was authenticated MWMT - MQ went for $201.

I really wanted that one cause of the colors and 2nd generation tush tag but didn't have enough money.

I did pay $300 for a really pretty one years ago with a 1st generation tush tag.

That was a nice Flutter. Anytime you see True Blue Beans put "magnificent" on the COA you know you've got one heck of a nice beanie.
