That Texaco book is a HORRIBLE reference book. It has numerous errors in it.

I reported it and messaged him and told him it was a reproduction, but no reply. Still on there and up to $261. I hate seeing stuff like this with people getting ripped off so bad.

From what I'm reading it didn't do any good to report it !!! I reported it the minute it went on, seller new what he was selling, even put the sign manufacture B.S. on the back side. Read his description, what comes around goes around Pal. About the only thing left to do is try to figure out the buyer if he leaves feedback.

Doug- when you mentioned this guys feed back, I decided to look at it. Seller appears to be an authentic, original POS. I tried to paste a link but had trouble. Anyway ,theres a big negative for never shipping some guy a sign that he paid over 300 dollars for.

Jim T, I just read that feedback as well, but the buyer won it on December 31st and left the feeback on January 2nd. I don't think that's very much time to send a sign considering the mail would of been closed on New Years day. I'm still ticked off about the Texaco No Smoking Sign. I messaged him about it and reported it. I guess people just have no conscience anymore. It's all about making that dollar.

looks like he bid on this item so he could leave feedback for a previous item he never got, after so many days you can't leave feedback.

Is there a way to figure out the buyer? I have complied a list over the years of ID's and numbers of buyers/sellers etc... I also have the bid history on all my past auctions, along with IDs and numbers in my feedback. I believe ebay use to let you leave feedback up to 90 days on the second....
