Undated reproduction signs are the biggest threat to this hobby. But, yet only 11 of us have chosen to voice our frustration. It is going to take a much more concerted and broader approach.
Not everyone posts on here Dave...

Help the hobby by destroying anyone (Sign) you happen upon, that is yours to dispose of. Don't try to move it on and regain your $. Suck it up, it's your mistake. Reselling will just contribute overall to this less then reputable fad that is ruining our hobby. This type of Junk or fake rust is just that JUNK!

Or do what this guy has done-post it at a ridiculous price that no one is going to bid on. But, it stays out there and hopefully lots of people see it and learn. I think we should all do the same thing with whatever fake piece we might have. It would certainly be putting our money where our mouths are. I wonder how long it would take eBay to censure that kind of activity.....

I AM A SHE DEFINATELY. I RELISTED THE NORTHLAND SEED SIGN ON EBAY. MY ID IS 2dd2 THE PRESSURE HAS CAUSED A REACTION. A BUNCH OF THEM HAVE GONE SILENT OR ARE LISTING ONE SIGN AT A TIME. KEEP REPORTING ALL OF THE JUNK YOU SEE. LISTING A REPO IN THE CATAGORY OF 1930 TO 1969 IS FRAUD. CLICK THE REPORT BOX THEN FRAUDULENT LISTINGS YOU GET THE IDEA. DON'T EXPECT TO HEAR ANYTHING BACK FROM EBAY. I KEEP THESE GUYS ON MY WATCH LIST THEN KEEP CHECKING TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE LISTING. I'M SURE WE WILL BE SEEING SOME NEW ID'S WITH LOW FEEDBACK NUMBERS NOW I HAVE COME ACROSS A PRIVATE FEEDBACK WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE ANY FEEDBACK. MAYBE THAT IS A PRIVATE AUCTION. I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BEFORE. DIANE

I THINK THAT IS A GREAT IDEA, IF WE PILE ON WITH THE REPO. LISTINGS ON EBAY IT WOULD UP THE PRESSURE ON THE CROOKED SELLERS AT THE VERY LEAST. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GO AGAINST EBAY POLICY THEY WILL LEAVE THE LISTINGS ALONE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE CURVED SO CALLED PUMP SIGNS CALLED OUT FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

Gulfiend, What's the web address of the Facebook page you mention?
I stand in support of all of those attempting to educate the collecting public. While I have absolutely no interest in anything that is not authentically vintage, it is not mine to judge another's preference. I too have been priced out of a large percent of the market so think re-pop is fine as long as it is marked or properly represented.
Count me in on the assault of those who would be anything less than honest in their dealings and descriptions.

What a con. She refers to herself as a lady...a few other adjectives come to my mind. For the sake of decency, I won't post them.
