Hey all,
The number of repro auctions on ebay seem to be increasing. BATS hands and chest decals, mics, FF phones, etc. The scary thing is that some of them look identical (as far as I can tell). Even though some auctions state they are replacements I am sure there are a lot more that don't. Is there any guide to help determine some of these repro items?

I'm not aware of a guide but some of the repro guys change the colour slightly so you can tell. Having said that, I have a Flagg guard rail and I have no idea if it's repro or not. I guess it only helps if you have one for comparison...

The plastic is the best way to tell. Unfortunately, you can usually only compare that in person.

Yeah, it sucks. I think there are a LOT of people selling repro stuff without listing it. You can SOMETIMES tell by the way they word (or DONT word) it, but even then its a crapshoot at times.
I contacted a seller about a Dusty V1 complete (he has/had like 5 of them) asking about the bi-pod and he said he had no idea there were repros of them, he would look into it and get back to me. Never did hear back so Im guessing he knew what he had. Even to give him the benefit of the doubt, its still scary cause he could be clueless for real. |
