http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380608980842...after informing the seller that the beat-up Pure pump sign they were selling as original "...isn't old, or original...the originals have rounded corners...your sign has squared corners...it is a reproduction of recent manufacture and was not used by Pure Oil on a gas pump...thought you (and your bidders) should know...if you look around on eBay you'll see examples of fakes and originals, and can compare them to see the differences..."their reply: "I buy all my signs at shows you're just 1 of those guys who have to put your 2 cents in and everyone who buys my signs are happy with them and if they're not happy with them I offer a full refund on all my signs and my items so why don't you Pastor somebody else"...I've never been called a pastor before  ..a review of the seller's other items will reveal that they have nothing but repro & fantasy junk... ...my response: "...I don't understand your angry response - you should be thanking me for helping you avoid problems with your buyers...after looking at your other listings, I think you could save the travel and expense of attending 'shows' and just order your reproduction signs online, and beat them with a hammer at home...see that? I just saved you money AND time, too...you're welcome..."

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

...LOL, I think they meant 'pester' and not 'pastor'... ...if I was going to be a pastor, I'd have to get 'GOOD' tattooed on the fingers of one hand, and 'GULF' on the other, like Robert Mitchum in 'Night of the Hunter'

[/quote] LOL; More repop *****; he offers a refund just in case someone catches on to his scam or later finds out that they have been "taken". Some people just don't have any morals anymore! 
Buying: Polarine / Red Crown Gasoline Globes and Signs, Early Chevrolet & United Motors Signs, and 1910's through 1940's Gas & Oil Signs.

Think about the tattoo thing and I'll chip in the first 10 bucks to get the pastor inked.You can preach on the wages or repops and the path to salvation through historical accuracy. May be a bit on the "heavy". Dave
