i don't think i know this seller so i have no opinion there, however if i want to buy something on ebay i will do a little homework first.....I'll look at their feedback, look & scrutinize each of the last 10 transactions made, then look at all the current auctions running just to see the other merchandice he may carry & if its an expensive item I will email & ask some pressing questions & then possibly talk to him on the phone......
it sounds cynical, but its also good business...........

He seems to sell a lot of original signs, but there's a repo or fantasy piece mixed in there from time to time. But to give him the benefit of the doubt he may not know it's not real?????

Thanks guys,,, I just thought I ran across him in Florida a few years ago and at Columbus Gas Ohio,,,and spring Carlisle, he had reproduction signs and a Cities Service clock at that time, I'm pretty sure its the same fellow..but he's probably OK,,the ole story, if in doubt,, I don't need it.. thanks again,,

if in doubt, walk away.
I would rather miss getting a good deal than pay for a piece of TRASH
