Please keep notifying sellers when they are selling a fake

Hi everyone, please continue to notify people when they are selling a fake.

In many cases it does work. I notified the seller of item 190029761196 which was a reproduction Golden Nugget.

I wasn't nasty or anything and just told him what he had. I also referred him to my article on reproduction machines (www.IBuyOldSlots.com/ReproArticle.html) and also this forum.

He did the right thing and shut down the auction. He also thanked me for letting him know.

He told me that the machine was not his, but a friends. Looks like another example of someone trying to get someone else to dump their reproduction machine on eBay.

Dave,

Here is another one. The seller states that it came out of "Grampa's estate" and Grampa paid $3600 for it. Gramps didn't get out much.

The seller of item 120028330129 (repro Nugget) has just updated his listing to indicate he has a reproduction.

Keep up the good work people :D
