AS MODERATOR FOR SOME OF THE SECTIONS THAT SELL GERMAN MILITARIA, I HAVE NOTICED A HUGE INCREASE IN REPRO ITEMS BEING LISTED ON SITE.

WHILE THERE IS A PLACE FOR REPRO ITEMS, IT IS NOT IN THE SECTIONS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR ORIGINAL ITEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SELL REPRO ITEMS, THT THEY PLACE THESE IN THE REPRO SECTION, WHICH HAS NOW GOT A SEPERATE CATAGORY.

I REALISE THAT SOME ITEMS GET MISTAKEN FOR ORIGINALS, AND THIS IS A MISTAKE MANY PEOPLE MAKE. AS MODERATOR IT IS MY JOB TO SEEK THESE OUT, AND FROM NOW ON, IF THEY REMAIN IN THE WRONG SECTION I WILL MOVE THEM TO THE PROPER ONE. IF YOU SEE AN ITEM YOU BELEIVE TO BE REPRO IN THE ORIGNAL SECTION, PLEASE REPORT IT TO ME, AND I WILL TAKE ACTION IF REQUIRED. IT IS WITH YOUR HELP THAT I CAN HELP KEEP THE REPRO AND ORIGINALS SEPERATED.

SHOULD AN ITEM BE LISTED AS ORIGINAL, BUT SOME ONE BELEIVES IT TO BE REPRO I WILL CONTACT THE SELLER, AND DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH THEM. IF THE SELLER IS CONVINCED THE ITEM IS ORIGINAL, THEN IT WILL REMAIN IN THE ORIGINAL SECTION. IT IS THEN THE CHOICE OF THE BUYERS, WHETHER THEY BUY OR NOT. IF I KNOW THE ITEM TO BE REPRO, I WILL OF COURSE TAKE THE CORRECT ACTION OVER THE MATTER.

HELP ME TO KEEP SPECIALIST AUCTIONS RUNNING AS IT SHOULD AND REPORT ITEMS YOU THINK ARE WRONGLY DESCRIBED, FAKE, OVER PRICED, WRONGLY IDENTIFIED, EVEN IN THE WRONG CATAGORY. I NEED TO KNOW, SO I CAN PUT THINGS RIGHT.

REGARDS TO ALL
