Just seen the below 1902 double overprint sell on ebay at £281, in fact there were 16 bids cast in total with the three top bidders all bidding £220+

Some one either got a bargain or a £5 curiosity (I know which one i'd put my money on) ; i personally have not seen another double overprint aligned below and so far apart - has anyone else?

For a stamp of this rarity the listing did not even contain an enlarged version of the image and when i asked for one it was met with silence, below is (a) the image as appeared full size on ebay and (b) an enlarge scan I made on my computer.

UPDATE 2/10/2010 :
One of our new members sent me the image below of a stamp they also purchased through ebay.
The member confirmed that at closer inspection the overprint sits above the postmark confirming it to be a forgery.
