Reproduction aero fighters

Hi guys, 



I found this listing.  Seems like this guy made a reproduction and he is very sneakily selling it off.  He just mentions reproduction in the title and says nothing in the description.  I flagged it.



Let me know if I am misreading the situation.  I emailed him for clarification, too.



thanks



john

    I don't see anything worth posting about here. the guy is selling a reproduction aero fighters. The label is obvious, the board could be too. He clearly states that in the title and it's not being passed off as authentic. So? Ebay doesn't care and this isn't going to stop. It's just part of the hobby now. It's the ones who try to sell fakes as real that should be worth flagging.

    IMO what this guy is doing is a step way too far in the wrong direction. 



    It's depressing this is considered 'okay' and part of the hobby now, but I don't know if flagging it will do any good.

    Anyone getting involved with reproductions is stepping in the wrong direction if you ask me. I think it used to bother everyone a lot more, but we're forced to deal with them in our daily searches, so you can't help but grow accustomed to it. The fact that this seller stated it in the title is at least credible in some way, that can't be said for several other listings I see all the time.

    The only copy on Amazon is a clear reproduction too. No one should be buying this game without board pics.

    I hear ya.  I agree reproductions can be freely made if they are overtly passed off as such. I think the fact that it is a reproduction should have been stated in the description more clearly.  He mentioned it once in the title.  IMO, it could be missed, especially considering the price would lend someone to suppose it may be authentic.

    That's a very clumsy reproduction.

    I have reported like 4 of his eBay aerofighters posts and they have been removed... And he puts them right back up. It's this same game. He was originally selling as authentic... Then slowly reducing the price and adding words like "I may not be able to prove its real but I know it is".... To "reproduction".

    lol did he really say that? I may not be able to prove its real but I know it is? that's hilarious..i love seeing these kind of threads with dumb sellers, its definitely entertaining. Even though now he clearly states its a reproduction he tried selling it to begin with as authentic so he should be flagged.

    It looks like he has old afew Leaf Green reproductions too, the labels look bad even in the crappy picture he posted.
