Looks like we could use a lot more people like him...... here is the link.... on ebay

Great Idea!!! I agree totally!

Thanks huskybob!....for making the link easier to access. Wasn't sure how to do that.

I just sent the seller a note of support and asked him to post his thoughts on this web site. Wouldn't it be great if we had a leader to take up this fight against this c**p!

yea maybe he can contact littleshanno

Wowzers - talk about telling it like it is. Beeeauuutiful!

AMEN to that brother !

...there's actually a Facebook page about fake signs as well...

After thanking this seller for his great description, he sent this back to me:

THANK YOU FOR READING IT! PLEASE CONTINUE TO USE THE REPORT BOX ON LISTINGS YOU KNOW ARE FAKE. TRY TO CONTACT SELLERS THAT LIST REPRODUCTION SIGNS IN THE WRONG CATAGORY. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT

Being honest about repros doesn't seem to be keeping him from making a profit. There are enough people out there that will
pay for what they like , or appeals to them , when it's presented for what it is and priced affordable.

He should be a spokesman for the plastic surgery industry as well.

Undated reproduction signs are the biggest threat to this hobby. But, yet only 11 of us have chosen to voice our frustration. It is going to take a much more concerted and broader approach.

I sent the seller a email also..Alan

Contacted this honest seller also!

Not everyone posts on here Dave...

Help the hobby by destroying anyone (Sign) you happen upon, that is yours to dispose of. Don't try to move it on and regain your $. Suck it up, it's your mistake. Reselling will just contribute overall to this less then reputable fad that is ruining our hobby. This type of Junk or fake rust is just that JUNK!

Or do what this guy has done-post it at a ridiculous price that no one is going to bid on. But, it stays out there and hopefully lots of people see it and learn. I think we should all do the same thing with whatever fake piece we might have. It would certainly be putting our money where our mouths are. I wonder how long it would take eBay to censure that kind of activity.....

If any members would like to say aomething to him he just joined Old Gas and has a post in the new members forum. Mitch

I think you mean she.

I AM A SHE DEFINATELY. I RELISTED THE NORTHLAND SEED SIGN ON EBAY. MY ID IS 2dd2 THE PRESSURE HAS CAUSED A REACTION. A BUNCH OF THEM HAVE GONE SILENT OR ARE LISTING ONE SIGN AT A TIME. KEEP REPORTING ALL OF THE JUNK YOU SEE. LISTING A REPO IN THE CATAGORY OF 1930 TO 1969 IS FRAUD. CLICK THE REPORT BOX THEN FRAUDULENT LISTINGS YOU GET THE IDEA. DON'T EXPECT TO HEAR ANYTHING BACK FROM EBAY. I KEEP THESE GUYS ON MY WATCH LIST THEN KEEP CHECKING TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE LISTING. I'M SURE WE WILL BE SEEING SOME NEW ID'S WITH LOW FEEDBACK NUMBERS NOW I HAVE COME ACROSS A PRIVATE FEEDBACK WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE ANY FEEDBACK. MAYBE THAT IS A PRIVATE AUCTION. I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BEFORE.
DIANE

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT, I RELISTED AT A HIGHER STARTING PRICE. MIKE BRUENER SUGGESTED A HIGHER PRICE TO GET IT UP WITH THE HIGHER PRICED STUFF.
DIANE

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS POST WHAT PROFIT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
DIANE

I THINK THAT IS A GREAT IDEA, IF WE PILE ON WITH THE REPO. LISTINGS ON EBAY IT WOULD UP THE PRESSURE ON THE CROOKED SELLERS AT THE VERY LEAST. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GO AGAINST EBAY POLICY THEY WILL LEAVE THE LISTINGS ALONE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE CURVED SO CALLED PUMP SIGNS CALLED OUT FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

I have a little problem getting my humor across--Disregard it , I salute you for your efforts.

Gulfiend, What's the web address of the Facebook page you mention?

I stand in support of all of those attempting to educate the collecting public. While I have absolutely no interest in anything that is not authentically vintage, it is not mine to judge another's preference. I too have been priced out of a large percent of the market so think
re-pop is fine as long as it is marked or properly represented.

Count me in on the assault of those who would be anything less than honest in their dealings and descriptions.

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR MY PREDICTION THIS AM TO COME TRUE. WE HAVE A NEW ID ON EBAY SELLING THE SAME OLD *****.
ID IS PIKINANNIE SAME TIRED OLD STORY OF THE GHOST BARN OR DEAD RELATIVE I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH. CHECK IT OUT SMALL CURVED TEXACO

Took awhile to find it;

Bidders Identity PRIVATE too...

What a con. She refers to herself as a lady...a few other adjectives come to my mind. For the sake of decency, I won't post them.

BOY IS THAT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK. I AM VERY SUSPICIOUS THAT A LOT OF THE FAKES ARE COMING OUT OF CANADA......MAYBE I HIT CLOSE TO HOME! YOU ARE A NAME CALLER AND NOT A GENTLEMAN.

OH YEAH I HAVE HAD HIS # FOR A WHILE. DID YOU SEE WHAT THAT REPO SINCLAIR AIRCRAFT BROUGHT YESTERDAY ? I REPORTED THAT ONE AGAIN AFTER IT CLOSED.

Dave is Referring to ebay seller;
Calling herself a "LADY" in description of sign.

Dave is Against all UN-Dated items.

SORRY SOMETHIMES WHEN YOU READ STUFF IT'S JUST NOT CLEAR. THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING ME A CON. I AM TRYING TO FIND MY WAY AROUND ON THIS SITE. BE PATIENT
