I sent him the following message. Lets see what he does. If he does nothing, its just another ebay seller to add to your "DO NOT BUY FROM" list!
QUOTE "Your sign is a fantasy modern piece, and was never used by Texaco. This sign can be bought for $20 from the makers of common reproduction signs. Check out item # SI-240 from ww.vics66.com
Leading people to believe that this is an old original advertising piece is pure fraud. You should end your listing immediately!" unquote

Same description for all his "signs". I'm about to the point of thinking that anybody stupiid enough to read his descriptions and look at the actual product (pictured) deserves what they get (or don't get). Notice that one bidder has bid this up to where it is-that's always a red flag to me. But, hey, I'm a cynic who owns a bunch of raggedy a**, albeit authentic, old, and original, signs. : )

Seller has 90 items listed right now, only 1 doesn't have a bid [routed piece of wood].
He's making a better living than having a JOB!

I wish I had that kind of response on even real items on eBay these days. I'm guessing that just as this (OG) is a group of people striving to learn and grow and do the right thing(s), there is also at least a loosely-knit group out there who routinely band together and bid each others' items up day in and day out.

Apparently this crooked guy doesnt live far from me. I really wish I could look this guy in the eyes and call him on this trash he sells. Only thing is, it would probably only lead to major frustration and probably would open the door to troubles for me.Ebay has lots of these despicable people cashing in on our hobby. Shame they cant fathom putting their energy into doing something positive for others rather than selfishly taking advantage of them. I wish we could take them behind the woodshed. This is the kind of trash that will steal your wallet then help you look for it.
