Those are some interesting links.

I especially liked the one at http://bocatradingpost.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/fake-slot-machines-how-to-identify-them/ it was information on how to identify a reproduction slot machine.

The information was spot on. Almost like what I wrote. Oh wait, they took my article word for word (http://www.ibuyoldslots.com/ReproArticle.html :D

It would have been nice for them to give me credit :evil:

I repeat everything you've published too, but nobody gives me any damn credit either! :D

Seriously, you've prevented me and many other people from making some very bad purchases. :oops:

Perhaps.... just perhaps.... it is time for a new auction site specifically related to game room items.
legit, and accurate descriptions only.
any suggestions?
any thoughts?

I don't think it will ever happen.

In my opinion, there are only two companies who could give ebay a run for their money when it comes to auctions. Those being Google and Amazon.

However, if either did it, I don't think they would police the fakes either.
