Another auction courtesy of "littleshanno", rip off artist extraordinaire! This joker has been laughing to the bank for how many years now? 60 bids on a $100 repro....  ? "Fresh from a local estate", like the many that have preceded it.....

People just dont do research any more... The boarder on that thing is horrible and the mounting brackets aren't there...
This guy has sold these repop's for a good while now, i am blocked from him receiving messages from me because i have called him out on it numerous times. It's only goin to get worse in the future i am afraid..

Her name is Shannon and she seems to think because she sells some originals she can get away with passing the ***** out also.
Thanks

You have to put some blame on the buyer also...KNOW WHAT YOUR BUYING or dont buy it!!! With all the repros out there people should have a clue what they are spending their money on.
The most valuable commodity I know of is information-Wall Street

No it was a different sign... look at the paint on the back from the one on Dec 2 and the one that just sold and there is a difference. That person has stock pile of them and is selling one when they feel they wont get caught... eBay just want a commission and can care less about us collectors.

I thought the sellers name was Dennis not Shannon. Shannon would make more sense though.

It would be nice if Oldgas had enough influence on ebay to somehow stop this stuff from happening.

It is wrong, to even remotely suggest that the buyer should accept any blame or responsibility. Buyer bid on a original sign and payed accordingly. Seller and e-Bay are the offending parties in my opinion. Neither have any regard for anything other than profit!

Jim,, continually amends or adds guidelines to reflect any current changes needed to protect buyers and sellers alike. This is confirmed by recent changes in the guidelines that any fantasy reproduction items must be clearly stated as such and marked permanently.
It would not take much on e-Bays part to force this seller and others like them to accurately describe fantasy and reproductions items as such. Why should these sellers be allowed to defraud honest buyers, week after week? If e-Bay is the medium or conduit via which these people are defrauded; then in my opinion e-Bay has everything to do with these crooks and their auctions. e-Bay is choosing to facilitate and allow this to occur on their site. It would be naive to think otherwise.

Or can't we do links here? There never was a REAL one of these. There is No Way to Hang [holes in top or brackets on back]. The T-53 date was used on the Larger Cookie Cutter signs, NOT THIS SIZE.

Why shouldn't ebay be held accountable for what is sold on it's site. If a real auctioneer sells an item on auctionzip live, proxbid, artfact or liveauctioneer those companies will do something about it if enough people complain. Dan
