Seller has four different listings on e-Bay. They are all reproduction signs with BIN's. SkyChief plate has had the date chipped off (1990). Seller has gone to great length to distress/age the signs. Has sold three signs but can't see them due to private setting for feedback.

After clicking on sellers other items [4], click on completed auctions [12] you'll see that they have Sold 7, ALL REPOP ALTERED SIGNS. Average price ea is $197.xx, Not bad for a $20ea REPOP investment!
Buy clicking on sellers feedback #, it does show the Buyers but not the item they bought.

Just for the record. I live in Rome GA and this is NOT me. My screen name is Jeffnsteph9603 on eBay I have no problem with repop signs as long as they are sold as repops. I do have a problem with repop signs being sold as original as it hurts the hobby. Jeff


I am looking for Nice Condition Signs, Globes, Etc. from the Sinclair HC era and older for my Sinclair Station.

Hey DB, I didn't know you could check the completed listings that easily.

Like you stated 7 sold signs in the last 15 days (that's the furtherest you can go back) for a total of $1384.04 in sales. At $20.00 a sign for the initial purchase that's a $140.00 investment. That's a 1000% return on his investment in 15 days. Not bad for a crook, he's doing better then most drug dealers.

I live in Rome ga and asked seller about local pick up on a item and he said no local pick up and when I asked about age of signs he said he does not have a clue.his profile says he is in Alabama but he would not give me his name or location. I guess This is why he only has 3 feedback and registered September 2012 of course he used to be under another selling name.
