This is a seller I have not seen before. Yet I am already blocked from sending an email. #261227748193 I don't believe this sign is right, but it is up to $84 Check out his other items for sale the shell sign he has displayed under the pedal car. I would like to get my hands on one of these phony curved signs to list on ebay, and expose it to the unsuspecting buyers. But I don't want to spend a bunch on one.

looked at the completed auctions, bunch of 12" repo signs all banged up. Amazing he's got a different sign of all the major brands, wow what a find!

Run, don't walk away from this cr@p.

That seller has some authentic signs listed .The Mcmath-Axilrod mobil sign has not been repopped as far as I know .The Telephone sign is real .I saw the fake Shell,but I couldn,t find a listing for it .You may be right about the 15" Texaco,but I am not sure enough to report it .

The sign is gone now .I did a completed listing search and only found 2 more 15" Texaco signs .I must be doing something wrong because I couldn't find any 12" signs in the seller's completed listings .What made you guys think the Texaco was a repop? .I made the mistake of calling a real 12" Sinclair sign fake a while ago .I am trying to avoid making the same mistake again .I would appreciate info on this

The Texaco you can't find was a curved sign like that shell sitting by the pedal car. It was a Texaco that was never used as a visible pump sign. ebay removed it. Here is one for the list. "thegirlcode" everything is bogus. Back to selling phony license plate toppers and fire king mugs that were not made till now. This one likes to list small signs also. I also want to note that stormpruuf is busy listing small gas and oil porcelain signs that sure don't look right to me, as well as fire king mugs and license plate toppers that never existed till yesterday.

I have collected and sold fire king for 25 years or more. I know most of all the mugs they are pushing on eBay have been painted recently. These guys are buying the mugs, ect. unpainted on eBay and having the graphics put on, then they sell it on eBay. Quite a scam when they had it going full blown. Pennies invested... hundreds on return. They had so many people selling this stuff at one point it is mind blowing. Their pocketbook has really been affected and they are p****d.
