NOTICE!

This information should be very helpfulfor those buyers who dont want to get ripped off! There are a group of a dozenor so sellers selling signs they call porcelain, used, preowned and vintage. Ifyou look at their sales history under ITEMS SOLD, you will find that they havesold and are STILL selling the SAME EXACT porcelain, used, preowned and vintagesigns over and over and over again. DOZENS of the same signs. Common sensereality check people. There is NO WAY someone has a never-ending supply of thesame exact porcelain, used, preowned and vintage signs unless they are makingthem. These are fantasy fake reproductions listed as porcelain, used, preownedand vintage and are NOT even porcelain. The vast majority of buyers do not knowthe difference at all and this is what these deceptive sellers are counting on.If you are selling signs you make you should list them as such. Most of oursigns are NEW and our listings are transparent. Think twice before you buythese fake signs. Its OK to buy a sign made to look old but the buyer shouldbe told about this rather than intentionally deceiving people. If you call thesesellers out on this they just block you and continue flying under the radarselling fake signs that are NOT porcelain, used, preowned OR vintage.

There are a small handful of newer eBaymembers, (we will not list these seller's names), that are now selling signsthey describe as “pre-owned”, that are actually very recently made. These signsare intentionally made to look old or vintage & described as preowned. Thevast majority of these newbie sellers are mass producing their “preowned” signsof just about everything vintage they can find on the internet. If you take thetime to review & research these sellers, what they sell and how manyhundreds and thousands of the same exact same signs they have sold over &over the prospective buyer can obviously see that it would be virtuallyimpossible to have 100 or 200 of the same exact “preowned” signs unless theywere making these signs themselves. Of course, these sellers are purposely nottransparent with their descriptions. They are intentionally vague as most buyersdo not take the time to do the research. Instead, many buyers click & buybelieving that the signs are, in some way vintage because after all, they arelisted as “preowned”. In addition, they describe them as porcelain & 99.9%are NOT porcelain. The vast majority are a digitallyenhanced graphics on steel or tin & then beat up using a multitude ofvarious methods to accelerate an aged appearance. Everything from soaking inacid solutions & various concoctions of special chemicals all mixed, used& designed to produce & sell preowned signs with a vintage appearance.All of this performed in the art of deception. Inspecting the back of the signsthey are all virtually identical. Either black or white with bubbles &scratches here and there in various different spots. Ultimately, it is veryeasy to spot these types/kinds of signs. There are dozens of sellers practicingthe same identical questionable business practices mass producing fakeporcelain fantasy signs. For the most part many of these signs are of decentquality & reasonably priced. However, several of these sellers haveliterally pirated Electolite® original images & artwork designed byElectolite® years & literally decades ago. Many of these images camedirectly from the 1926 Ashton Collins advertising binder, (of which we stillhave the original binder valued at $50,000.00).
