Not a sign you see everyday from India...figured it'd be worth mentioning so nobody gets burned.

Check his other items and then completed auctions. He is deep sea fishing and has caught a quite a few big suckers. Big money organized crime from India. Coming to a farm auction or a swap meet near everyone soon!

Reading the feedback that this Seller has acquired, is sicking!

One numbnut, bought a big time fake Flying A sign and then made the following statement: "BEST SELLER ON EBAY!! PLEASE GIVE THIS PERSON YOUR BUSINESS!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!"

One can not help the "brain dead"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The amount of money these crooks make is unreal. More lucrative then the sales of illicit drugs.

What I don't get is how day after day MORE & MORE buyers are getting robbed (robbing themselves) buying these fake signs. It's truly amazing to me how many 12" rusted beat up porcelain signs that can be bought for $10-20 ea sell for $100.00+ DAILY.

Rick, a quick check of India's per capita income (nominal) was $1570 in 2013. They ranked 120th out of 164 countries by the World Bank...

If I lived in such poverty and squalor and the Citizens of a Richer Country was "Just throwing money" at us for fake items... I would do what they are doing...

Hell, China has been doing the same thing for over 50 years!...

I know It's been talked to death before, and I know It's buyer beware but I bet you at some point in time there will be some sort of class action law suit against eBay for allowing this kind of stuff to be sold. Whether or not It's won or even a "valid case" isn't the point, in this sue happy world we live in there's bound to be a lawyer willing to take it on especially with the kind of money were talking about. There sure would be a lot of documentation for proof that eBay was warned fraudulent activity was rampant on there site and they allowed it to continue. Yes I know there protected, yes I've read several times in several places in their guidelines and rules that they're not responsible for "anything at all" basically....but again not the point, I just bet someone somehow will try and hold them accountable at some point. Just my thoughts
