3 JACKPLATES WITH THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER?

Post by jingle_jangle »

Oh, wait. I guess they're the same plate.

Then why 3 separate Ebay auctions? Is this OK with Ebay? I thought it was a violation of their listing rules...

Well given who the seller is, perhaps we should consider the source. IIRC he was discussed a while back. I vaguely recall reading that some of our members reported having some sort of difficulty with him.

He claims a good-sized celebrity list of clients, too.

Maybe dealing with the Little People is beneath his contempt?

I just marked two of the three for deletion on that basis that at least two have to be counterfeit or that he's violated the "photo of actual goods unless specified" policy. He can either take the hit from RIC or from eBay- his choice.

Hey all, he's sold jack plates with that number before too. I looked at one of his auctions under feedback. It ended Nov. 30 and it was the SAME serial number.

Maybe we should call them "jack"ed plates!

Sounds like he's got 1 picture and lots of blanks, then he's stamping out new numbers. Any thing to make a buck! Seems like Doc hasn't changed much since I knew him in the late 70's.

If he's stamping serial numbers, why wouldn;t he at least stamp different numbers?
