Do "they" reproduce signs that big? Looks like it could be a wood-framed tin sign.

Richard

STILL A LARGE STARTING PRICE $500 FOR SOMEONE ADDING "REPRODUCTION" TO THE SIGNS DESCRIPTION. PLUS THE SELLET MADE NO ATTEMPT TO TAKE DOWN THE SIGN AND SHOOT THE REVERSE SIDE! IT WILL CAUSE QUESTIONS AND BIDDERS AT BAY!

~DOC

Seller says it's a reproduction in excellent cond. Sounds like he's being honest about it, I think $500.00 is alot too but it's his sign;;;;;;;;;;;Ron

I really think this is the Real Deal, for one you never see Repop signs this big. I Beleive Amistadi has a Large Oilzum collection. I think He would be the Guy to talk to about this sign.

I have no idea if it is real or not but I do know Sinclair made several signs about this big that are sometimes called fence signs. They were put on fences or on walls. Looks to be in good shape if it is real.

Doc...if you can paint a sign any size you want so can someone else. I havent seen the sign in person so I would tend to believe that he knows its phony. JM.02

I ASKED QUESTIONS...HOPEFULLY I'LL GET ANSWERS!

i don't understand the problem, the seller says he thinks its a repo!........... as far as asking price, he can ask a million dollars if he feels greedy ...i know this repo & its not a hand painted job,.........i make a large 2 sided neon repo sign for $3500 & it costs me nearly $2500 in material from start to finish..............
lets concentrate, focus & stop the real thieves on ebay who are ruining not only our hobby but the whole advertising sign hobby.......i am talking about guys taking signs like these & selling them as originals...... however some think these are the "good guys".....
Here is a great ****bag to start with...............................................

It is the real deal, My opinion, The condition is what gives the owner the impression its a repro

roadrelics I don't think there really is a problem we're just chewin the fat a little bit 'cuz we're bored 'tis all my man

sorry.......i am just sick of this "wholesalecandyshop" guy in Argentina getting away with all this fraud on ebay & they do nothing....
a guy in Ohio(?) is doing different 3 x 5 wood framed, embossed gas tin signs that look great, he is the same guy who sells all the smaller (Phillip Morris cigaretts} signs.... they do very good porcelain repos as well....
i guess i would like to see this oilzum sign in person before i could make a judgement,......

HI, A friend of mine has this sign. He told me it IS a REPRODUCTION. Thanks, Daniel

------------------

All you can do in feebay is report the auction numbers for this wholesalecandyshop loser. You can't send a comment when you report (at least I couldn't) They probably do not want want to be bothered.

I did report for his open aucitons. Check their completed listings. Unbelieveable.

Who is making this stuff?

As usual feebay will do nothing. Look at their stock price since October. DOWN. And I think it will continue to drop.

Sorry, I know I am off the subject. I will shut up now.

Thanks Daniel.....that pretty much clears it up.....REPO!!
