I am making this thread because sparks007 is trying to ruin my reputation.
Sparks007 bought a 1985 USS Flagg cover from me off of ebay. Link to Auction below: Please view pictures there of the item: GIJOE Hasbro Vintage 1985 USS Flagg Crane Engine Cover Unbroken RARE | eBay He is claiming it is fake and that I knew it was fake. From my knowledge and my evidence I do not believe it is fake and I am sure it is original. Here is my evidence: Below are pictures of me packing the item up to mail it off to him: (I left the boxed picture off because it has his address on the label on it) The part in question I bought along with most of the items I have sold recently and are for sale on ebay from a Vendor at the NJCC on August 18th in NJ. Destro (fran) from hisstank runs that show. I doubt he allows people to sell fake items at his show. If you look in the 1982-1994 arah hauls thread on page 194 post #1940 you will see the part in the middle of the second picture on that post along with the other parts I got and some I have sold recently on ebay and some that are on sale on ebay. That is the flagg cover I sold to him. Below is that picture again: You will also see one of the arrestor pieces and a radar antenna. They are all the same color in that photo. From the factory those pieces plus some others all come on the same parts tree. Below is a picture of the parts on a tree. This picture comes from another collector and is not a picture of the crane cover I sold to sparks007. It is an example of what the crane cover looks like on a parts tree from the factory. to be continued in next post.

Most of us know that when a part is taken off a parts tree that is leaves a sprue mark on the part. As you can see from the photo above there is three sprue marks that would be on the crane cover. Below are the pictures of the actually crane cover I sent sparks007 showing those sprue marks.
These pictures were from my ad on ebay when the item was for sale. Second picture doesn't have sprue mark circled but you can see it there. There is a total of 3 sprue marks like there should be from off a tree. This picture is from the ones of me packing the item up. The only place I know of that sells reproduction flagg crane covers is broken arrow toys and I found this out only after sparks007 messaged me asking for his money back. So I googled repro parts. Yes others may sell them but using the picture at broken arror toys the reproduction part does not show the sprue marks like an original does and is a lighter color. See link below for their picture. http://www.brokenarrowtoys.com/cart/...CraneCover.jpg Another thing I do before I list an auction on ebay is compare the item to another part to make sure they look the same. I had another crane cover that I purchased from Kokomo Toys during joecon this year (2013) in Indiana. I am sure some of you know that I did this because I saw some of you there in the shop and at joecon. I bought it from their store that week, they were having a 20% off sale and I got their MIB flagg. It took me 5 hrs to go over it. Amber and Todd can back me on this and so can some of you. MIB doesn't mean a sealed box. MISB means sealed box. The crane cover I got with my flagg came on the parts tree so I know its orignial. I took the crane cover and compared it to the crane cover I sold sparks007 and it matched. So if you are saying the crane cover I sold you is fake then you are saying Kokomo toys sold me a fake one because it matches the one I sold to you. Then here recently Oct 19th, 2013 I just bought some lots from a real auction not ebay. I made a post about the auction score too. The auction was at the Old Dominion Auction Company in Radford, VA. It was onsite and online through proxibid. Below is a link to their proxibid auction for the two lots I bought that had flagg crane covers in it. https://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDeta...-Parts---Box-2 https://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDeta...-Parts---Box-5 You may need to use the zoom features to see them but they are there. Below are pictures of the lots when I got them home and I put the crane cover on top to show you it better. Both of those crane covers match the crane cover I got from Kokomo Toys, therefore they match the one I sold to sparks007. So how can the one I sold to sparks007 be fake.

Here is proof that he buys fake parts:
Dear wowplayeradelissi, I was just trying to see if you would accept the item back since it is not as described. You are unwilling so I'll keep it. I have bought other repro parts for my one of my Flaggs so it doesn't bother me that it's fake what bothers me is that I didn't know it was fake when I bought it and it was not advertised as a fake in the listing. Most people who sell repro parts are up front about it and those that don't know the difference just say sorry I didn't know and it's no big deal they don't try to argue that its real and say prove it. I'm done keep the money I'll keep the part but I left negative feedback because I am not satisfied that you didn't know the part was a reproduction when you listed it and you were uncooperative when I asked if I could return it. End of conversation. - jrsmi6007 As you can see he tells me he buys fake parts and is okay with them. How can I trust someone to send me back the original part I sent him when they knowing buy fake parts. Well you guys can reply to this if you want. I would love to get this over with and yea I would give him his money back but I want my original part back and not a fake part that he is trying to give me back.

Someone is trying to "ruin your reputation" over a ten dollar part?
I guess I don't get what the big deal is... |

yeah who cares enough to make a post on here about it. Just give em the money back or work it out. You really care that much about your reputation in the toy collectors world? Hell man all our reputations are crap. We collect 4 inch men.

I bought a coue of repro parts off of hotdogsstuff on eBay last week, I bought some y pins a fantail railing and purge vavle. The funny thing about this part I bought from chunk is it has a fingerprint on it and it is not made from the same plastic as the other parts as the uss Flagg it is made from a soft greyish resin. It's not a hard whiteish plastic like it is supposed to be made of oh yeah and it has a fingerprint on it. If chunk would have just taken the part back I would have dropped it , but he decided to double down and refuse to accept the return. I will say it here again , as I have stated to you several times on eBay if you are so confident the part you sold me was original then take it back give me a refund and sell it to someone else. What is that so hard chunk? You are doing more harm to your reputation by not accepting the return. If you just said ok send it back it would have been quiet and painless, not only would you have been out nothing you would have created a sense of buyer security because buyers would know that you were in he business of buyer satisfaction.

Oh and chunk I will send you the exact same part you sent me. But you will be getting a fake back because the one you sent me is not an original part.

Does the one you bought from Kokomo toys have a finger print on it? I didn't think so . Is it made from soft plastic or is it rigid like the arrestor hooks or the radar antennae. Because the one you sent me is a soft flexible resin and it has a finger print on it. If you are going to try and pass reprise off as originals chunk you should at least wait ti the resin cures completely before removing the part from the mold.

I didn't see any fingerprints on the part I sent you. I didn't feel or see any differences in the part either when I compared it to the one I got from kokomo toys. The plastic on the parts were all the same. Do they look fake/different in the pictures I have posted. I don't think they do.
I will say it here again like I have said it a dozen times to. I would gladly take the part back if you can prove that it is fake. I can't trust your word because how am I suppose to know you won't send me back a fake in its place. I don't know anything about making reproduction parts or customizing like you do. Quote:
