Glenn Miller Posted this list on Face Book so I thought I'd share it here!!

Some of these sellers may have an original sign once in a while but most are fake. I recommend not buying from any of these sellers.

No shortage there.

Its sad that we need this list! What a shame.

But thanks for the person that took the time to make it!

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.
Darin

Mike On behalf of all of the OG members, thanks for taking the time to create this list and share it with the rest of us.

add collectsoldpapers to the list

I HAVE ALPHABETIZED THE LIST TO MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND THE SCAMMER IN QUESTION...

We should all reply with other scammers to add to this list. Just be absolutely sure the sign(s) they are selling are fake.

Thanks

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]

....AND ANYTHING FROM INDIA, OF COURSE.

harlyd .... new seller of fakes.

dakdana05...selling fake old gas and oil calendars. Just got blocked by her or him for telling her that the Frontier calendar was a fake. Mitch

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.

roger232311 .....another one

Yeah I got a fake Cadillac sign from treasureray about 2 years ago. I believe he's up in Indiana.

legs3882 ..... fakes !!

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

Same thing goes for the above mentioned covecollectables

Add this one---pickerchick10

Pickerchick10 fake Sav'n Sam's 12" pump plate.

Never made in a 12" to the best of my knowledge.

gailfromhale is another one. Look at the negative feedback replies to the buyers they stiffed. "We do not sell reproduction signs"

2laneblacktop ..... Yup, another one.

erlydz here's another one

downbytheriver ..... And another one !!

....AND ANYTHING FROM INDIA, OF COURSE.

Here's another e-Bay seller for your list Steve.

weybk

http://www.ebay.com/sch/weybk/m.html?

jaylnauctions..... another 1

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.

Because people are mislead in these fraud auctions ....

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.

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!

ADD jaw0499jeff TO THE LIST!! Selling 25$ repops on old looking hangers for way too much!

Another one! add juspikn to the list.

COMPLETED JUNK

And imagine this he won't take any questions?

michiganpickin_7

One more for the list! Mixes in repops with real and very defensive to questions!!!

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.

nicemoooves is another one.

tk27 AT IT AGAIN.
Scrapping the fantasy dates off.

Add this guy to the list rkest8

Add this a$$ to the list!!

http://www.ebay.com/usr/bestdealsonpickens?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

bestdealsonpickens

Add PICKERCHICK10 providing it is a she, is making a killing has sold every repop sign available 3 times over so far

Whoops, see she was already added in a prior post

ADD jaylnauctions to the list!!! Selling repops and fantasy signs as vintage and old!

....AND ANYTHING FROM INDIA, OF COURSE.

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

oldshopstuff AKA 2good2bethru

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.

renosurplus1 is selling 7 signs he bought from signpro74.He scratched them up and said they found them in an old Dept. store.You can see in his history that he bought them from signpro74.

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.

farmsignaddiction is selling a whole bunch of ***** on e-bay!

FAKE DAMAGE, FAKE RUST-FAKE ITEMS

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.

[quote=Mike M.]farmsignaddiction is selling a whole bunch of ***** on e-bay!

[url=http://www.ebay.com/sch/farmsignaddiction/m.html?item=172566103283&ul_noapp=true&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2046732.m1684]FAKE DAMAGE, FAKE RUST-FAKE ITEMS[/url] [/quote]

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

Just so everyone knows farmsignaddiction is rustykrinkles who is also restyrelicsart. Check out the 200 plus real signs at buy it now on rustayrelicsart eBay page to legitimize his 600 fake auctions but nothing anyone can do because he never says they are old or anything but what they are.

ALL ITEMS SOLD AS IS. PLEASE VIEW ALL PICTURES FOR CONDITION. ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.

COMBINED SHIPPING OFFERED (EXCLUDING INTERNATIONAL SALES) PLEASE EMAIL BEFORE PAYING AND I WILL SEND OVER A INVOICE WITH COMBINED SHIPPING.

PLEASE ALLOW 4 BUSINESS DAYS FOR HANDLING TIME. ALL ITEMS WILL SHIP WITHIN 4 DAYS OF PAYMENT RECEIVED.

ALL ITEMS SOLD AT NO RESERVE!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

I don't see this guy on the list. Redhorse56 Certainly seems he should be.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/redhorse56/m.html?item=282404908601

FYI, 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-/282404908601

Obviously 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.

Add mtumey to the List selling dinged up unmarked repops and fantasy signs in with other antiques.

Add electoliteliteforlife to the list

Add a brand new Seller "nennyfish" to the list... All their Auctions are "Private"; so no one can see how many times they will sell the same fake items over and over...

I just had jaylnauctions make me an offer on my Cresyl sign. Turned him down and blocked his azz from buying from me.

Suspect seller betrlife has repops.

2XLZ623 COMPLETED LIST OF JUNK SIGNS

Keep up the great work Steve!!!

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.

farmsignaddiction (SEVERE OFFENDER - same person as rustykrinkles, rustyrelics and rustyrelicsart)

Keep up the great work Steve, this info is priceless!!!!!!

ALL THE SAME PERSON SELLING FAKES

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

Help report this item and seller --seller deaner3249
Item #152635654142--Pennant Pierce Motor oil sign.
Listing as original signage it is fake repo.
Thanks
Sent email told seller item was reported.


2emails 1st I was told its real what makes you know different.
Well I explained whats wrong
2nd email Thanks for coming to me before you reported-- Love guys like you!! Its people like you who give ebay a bad wrap!!

Seller changed the listing from original to vintage. Guess that is all we can hope for.

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:

....AND ANYTHING FROM INDIA, OF COURSE.

Breweriana hobby also hit by these vermin.

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.

Yep! rustyrelicsart selling "rare"
beer lights that I would swear came straight off the boat!

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....

Glenn Miller just posted his updated list on Facebook so here it is!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/290408484503143/permalink/795329980677655/


I have been busy all winter and haven't been adding much to this list. If you are buying on eBay? This is a list of eBay sellers that have sold or are selling fake signs. Be careful buying online.

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!

We all complain about these people. Here is an easy opportunity to do something about it!

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!

Badboyz1 is the shirtless nipple ring guys that pose next to every sign or can in speedos and whatnot. They mix fakes with real signs here and there to confuse buyers and get a good chunk of change for them

This is nothing new. 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.

Review this sellers listings. Signs77. Advertised as "originals". Thanks to Oldgas for keeping me on the straight and narrow.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/signs77/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Here is 4 that should be added INDIA JUNK with lots of issues seems if it doesn't bring enough you never recieve.
You would think at least ebay would address this.
