Nah... WAY too much work, money, and time for 1 person to make the box look
THAT good and only make one of it, solely for the purpose of fooling ebayers..
probably whatever he makes on the auction wouldn't be worth the price to print

I bet it's easily more expensive than buying these pieces online from some
other trustworthy Lego fan...

What if he has a bunch of 6074s? I'd watch this fellow to see if he
auctions more of these, and if in the future he auctions the rare
pieces.
