when purchasing vintage parts, how do you tell they are vintage?
i/e the rattler and the tigerforce rattler both have been remade so if you bought a wing listed as vintage , how can you truly tell if it is? |

Well, in that specific example, I'm fairly sure the newer vehicles were done is a somewhat softer plastic than the originals, which were pretty ridged and weren't as easy to bend as the new ones which have quite a bit of flexibility to them.

Ok, but if your purchasing off ebay or another site is this something you can send back because you find out its not vintage?

This is the thing that sucks about rereleases, and repro stuff, in person you can usually tell 90% of the time just by looking at it, and feeling the texture and plastic quality but over the web it's hard to tell certain things apart. I don't know a lot about vehicles, but try and do as much research as you can, and ask the seller as many questions as you can think of that may help to determine if it's vintage or not.

Only if it is advertised as such, and you then find out it's not. If the seller is uncooperative with the return, then you will have to file a dispute with paypal.
