I have often wondered if there is a place on the site where Jim can keep this list, "near the top", so it can be found readily and added to as time goes on? As we all know, the list will only grow and change as the crooks close one account and "reopen" under a different name on Ebay.

This rustyrelicsart guy is screwing people left and right. He has a lot of rare signs that are reproductions. Does anyone know who he is? Or has he set up at any shows?
Thanks

I HAVE UPDATED THE LIST AGAIN TO MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND SCAMMERS.
I will periodically continue to update this list for Old Gas members. Just reply on this thread with other scammers to add to this list. [I did not compile this list, it is from your contributions. I just try to keep it organized]
If you reply with other scammers names, be absolutely sure the sign(s) they are selling are fake (i.e. make sure you know what your talking about). Maybe have confirmation from a few experts to be sure. I would hate to have an honest seller on this list.

Here is a very bad offender of selling repop signs on Ebay.
covecollectables
I have submitted pictures of signs he is selling and they have been verified as bogus.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/covecollectables?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754
The feedback says it all if the signs are not enough.

Just looked around on EBay at the items rustyrelicsart is trying to pass off. The description on every item is almost identical. "Heavy metal porcelain sign... Thick shelving..." Blah blah blah... You would think someone would catch on to that

I try and buy from known auction houses so I don't have to second guess if something is real. The fake porcelain signs on eBay are fractions of the price a real one would go I don't see why everyone is crying. I was watching barrett auctions this weekend signs are going 5-30k same repops on eBay go 250-1000.

This is how I feel about it . Anything out there that is meant to deceive is dishonest ,its robbing people ,I am referring to unmarked undated purposely aged signs, globes anything . It hurts all the real and honest collectors in this great hobby as well as the general public just trying to start a collection .Sure it has been going on forever but it still is criminal now and always has been.

I totally agree if your intentionally aging items or saying their real 100 percent. I'm noticing a lot of these sellers on eBay have crazy wording that legally would keep them safe where they are saying basically they don't know if a sign is real or not. I had a buddy a while ago lose an eBay case because in the wording it said something like that and then since they lost they where not able to leave bad feedback. He lost on eBay than on paypal because of the same small print.

Even if it isn't chipped up ...Putting anything but reproduction in description is fraud IMO ...If you don't know don't sell.

I try and buy from known auction houses so I don't have to second guess if something is real. The fake porcelain signs on eBay are fractions of the price a real one would go I don't see why everyone is crying. I was watching barrett auctions this weekend signs are going 5-30k same repops on eBay go 250-1000. David, the problem is those "same re-pops on ebay" that go for $250-1000 you are talking about are usually $25 signs. Crying?? I actually don't even buy any signs on Ebay, I just keep the list current for other Old Gas members who do. I think it is smart of you to buy at well known auction houses. However, some fakes slip into auctions as well. How would you feel if you went to an auction and paid $2500 for a sign you've always wanted and when you got home, three of your buddies told you it's a fake or repop made to look old? Same thing we are trying to prevent on ebay. Many, if not most of us, on this web-site want original signs for our collections. And second there is no problem buying reproduction signs, if they are listed as such. I buy them all the time for my gas pump restorations. It is however, a scam when people buy the same $25 dollar signs and beat them up and then sell them for "a fraction of the cost" at $250. The problem is people are being deceived (scammed). Think of it like this, I have a rock that is painted gold, but I will sell it to you for just $300 an ounce. Is that a good deal for a fraction of the cost? I see you are new here, and I hope I'm not coming off as harsh (DB could explain it better... lol), but we are all just trying to help each other on this website.

All of this is unfortunate to say the lease. It seems evil-bay is the lead offender, one would think they would try to weed out the impostures but they won't because it is all about the money more then anything. I personally have not bought signs on that site for years.
I'm shocked that someone would be good with paying four times the real cost for this stuff that is make believe. I noticed that the up coming Morphy's auction listed reproductions and the estimate cost ranges are crazy. The next thing will be auctions dedicated to fake signs. Sad but what are we to do? Thank goodness we have oldgas!

egk0306_7 ships from the same city in Michigan as michiganpickin_7 . It also appears to be the same person holding up the signs (face obscured) and the same items are hanging on the walls in the background in pics of several items.

I see your point now more clear. I guess the only way is to like you said to buy from morphys. I saw them sell some reproduction last week for almost 1k with premium i had never seen that before. What does everyone think of millers auction that sold alot of signs recently at auction on ebay are they legit. Also can i get a list of legit auctions houses othwr than morphys and barretts thanks

I see signpro74 from Canada is already on the list, had a email battle with him today... He is very slick says CODED 6-11-63 instead of DATED on a Texaco Marine sign so he can get around well you know... To bad eBay has the privacy thing and blocks out the bidders, years ago they didn't do that. If they didn't block/privacy we could warn the bidders and it would put the sellers out of business, or cut down on their profit at least. Please, report his auctions to eBay for trademark infringement if you have time.

Haaaaa unreal. Good detective work. Out right liars. I still stick to my original idea: I wish you could make comments on all on-going auctions.

Yeah I noticed today they have a Paper bag drinking sign. They sold one awhile back for $144. It's a 1987 Ande Rooney and they rusted off the date. Sad.

Jeez, look at this turd!!! At least it looks like a turd making it obvious that it is a turd! Looks like a second grader did the lettering. I see ole rusty has 3 bad feedbacks now. One being my own. I'm surprised anyone would buy from him after reading those! http://www.ebay.com/itm/CONOCO-GREASING-...E-/292055978447

I don't see this guy on the list. Redhorse56 Certainly seems he should be. http://www.ebay.com/sch/redhorse56/m.html?item=282404908601FYI, this is the first time I've seen this fake Sunoco sign. A new one to watch for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUE-SUNOCO-OIL-...E-/282404908601Obviously copied, yet downsized from this original sign imagery. Except they seem to have gotten the thickness of the font wrong! BTW, this sign I've pictured here for reference is insanely awesome!!! I wish I owned it!

While I do not have access to my lubesters to measure them, 16" seems wide even for a 60 gallon one. So while it is a cool decorator piece what is the point? Its being sold as having application for a lubester. Yes that was a facetious question. John

Add spartan308 to the list. He says he acquires his signs from estate sales, swap meets such as Hersery and Carlisle. Notice how he spells "Hershey and Carlisle" wrong. Either on purpose or he is just stupid and can't spell.

I'm not a sign guy, but saw a bunch pop up today with the note: "Inventory from an Antique Store closed since the 70s". Check it out and let me know what you think. Seller is re-gas.

Dang, I saw a sign that I was interested in and almost placed it on my watch list. I have been staying far away from signs on ebay so I thought I better check the list to be sure and BOOM there he is.

I am donna I am realtively new here not new to ebay but new here. This list of people selling fakes is excellent and educational.
I have a question, I am assuming some of you sell on ebay as well as buy. Is there a similar list of buyers to beware of ?
If you ever selling stereo equipment I have a list of people who tried to scam us with chargebacks, wrongful returns and swapping junk for what was really sent. I just had a guy open a case with ebay, he abused the system so bad he was ineligible for buyer protection and when I declined his return he opened a case with paypal. He managed to hold $760 of mine in limbo for almost 60 days while they both investigated fortunately I won both.
So that being said if there is a list of shady buyers I would love to know where to see it.
just wondering if there is something similar here.
BTW this site is so cool. I am learing a lot

I HAVE UPDATED THE LIST AGAIN TO MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND SCAMMERS.
I will periodically continue to update this list for Old Gas members. Just reply on this thread with other scammers to add to this list. [I did not compile this list, it is from your contributions. I just try to keep it organized]
If you reply with other scammers names, be absolutely sure the sign(s) they are selling are fake (i.e. make sure you know what your talking about). Maybe have confirmation from a few experts to be sure. I would hate to have an honest seller on this list.
Here is the updated compiled list contributed from Old Gas members:

Looks to me like you can add erlydz to the list. Selling multiples of same sign and most just don't look right. I could be mistaken but I wouldn't take the chance with this seller.

Folks, I understand some of you are very new to the Petro Hobby... But, Oldgas is a Petro Site...
So, how about sticking to reporting Sellers of Fake Petro items; only?...
The list is very long and it is hard enough for most to keep track of those selling just fake Petro items. Now, with the "Tidal Wave" of fake Chinese Sellers that have enveloped Ebay in the last Month; it will be next to impossible for some "New Petro Hobbyists" to know where to turn for help....

This person needs to be reported to eBay! Look at this! In image 1 you will see 2above-mediocre2 selling a fake Mountain Dew sign. The next image is the bid history of this item. Now look at the last image. Queen_pin1 is selling a similar fake Mountain Dew sign. You notice Queen_pin1 has 105 feedbacks, well if you go to the bid history of 2above-mediocre2's bid history, you sill see someone with 105 feedbacks! You will also see someone with 251 feedbacks, that user ID is 1above_mediocre1. So why is it that 1above_mediocre1 is bidding on 2above-mediocre2's item? And why is it that queen_pin1 has the same sign but is bidding on 2above-mediocre2's item?? AND DID I MENTION THEY HAVE THE SAME BACKGROUND!! I called ebay and got the Trust & Safety Department and they reported it, but I don't think 1 person calling is enough. I don't think we can get this user on the fact they are fake signs, but we can for bid manipulation! If anyone wants to try to get rid of this user here is the number for eBay: 1-866-540-3229. Provide them with these 2 item numbers: 153339159223 & 312426399543. These items end in 12 hours from now!

Here is another one: Seller is 2above-mediocre2. Look at the bid history you will see 1above_mediocre1 and queen_pin1. Notice queen_pin1 is selling signs that have the same background! Clear bid manipulation. Shouldn't be hard to explain to eBay!

It's called, "shill" bidding and Ebay is perfectly aware of it along with the enormous fake sign market they're hosting. They will do nothing to stop it as evidenced by the mountains of posts/complains here and other places on the Internet.

I am interested in buying some old gas signs. I found this forum maybe someone can help. There is a seller redhatrelics on ebay that is selling a lot of signs. Are they real? https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_ssn=redhatrelics&_sop=10They all look the same. It seems strange to have a date on so many signs yet they all appear to have same wear. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Can add ketchme62 to the list as well, is selling a fake sign that I asked about earlier in the online auctions forum, seems to have good 99% feedback, but also sells a lot of stuff that says "vintage" etc in the ads, not sure how many things he may have sold that may have been genuine, but he did call the esso sign rare, and very vague usually one sentence descriptions, so I would definitely be wary of that seller.
