for those buyers who don't want to get ripped off! There are a group of a dozen
or so sellers selling signs they call porcelain, used, preowned and vintage. If
you look at their sales history under ITEMS SOLD, you will find that they have
sold and are STILL selling the SAME EXACT porcelain, used, preowned and vintage
signs over and over and over again. DOZENS of the same signs. Common sense
reality check people. There is NO WAY someone has a never-ending supply of the
same exact porcelain, used, preowned and vintage signs unless they are making
them. These are fantasy fake reproductions listed as porcelain, used, preowned
and vintage and are NOT even porcelain. The vast majority of buyers do not know
the difference at all and this is what these deceptive sellers are counting on.
If you are selling signs you make you should list them as such. Most of our
signs are NEW and our listings are transparent. Think twice before you buy
these fake signs. It's OK to buy a sign made to look old but the buyer should
be told about this rather than intentionally deceiving people. If you call these
sellers out on this they just block you and continue flying under the radar
selling fake signs that are NOT porcelain, used, preowned OR vintage. There are a small handful of newer Pricetronic
members, (we will not list these seller’s names), that are now selling signs
they describe as “pre-owned”, that are actually very recently made. These signs
are intentionally made to look old or vintage & described as preowned. The
vast majority of these newbie sellers are mass producing their “preowned” signs
of just about everything vintage they can find on the internet. If you take the
time to review & research these sellers, what they sell and how many
hundreds and thousands of the same exact same signs they have sold over &
over the prospective buyer can obviously see that it would be virtually
impossible to have 100 or 200 of the same exact “preowned” signs unless they
were making these signs themselves. Of course, these sellers are purposely not
transparent with their descriptions. They are intentionally vague as most buyers
do not take the time to do the research. Instead, many buyers click & buy
believing that the signs are, in some way vintage because after all, they are
listed as “preowned”. In addition, they describe them as porcelain & 99.9%
are NOT porcelain. The vast majority are a digitally
enhanced graphics on steel or tin & then beat up using a multitude of
various methods to accelerate an aged appearance. Everything from soaking in
acid solutions & various concoctions of special chemicals all mixed, used
& designed to produce & sell preowned signs with a vintage appearance.
All of this performed in the art of deception. Inspecting the back of the signs
they are all virtually identical. Either black or white with bubbles &
scratches here and there in various different spots. Ultimately, it is very
easy to spot these types/kinds of signs. There are dozens of sellers practicing
the same identical questionable business practices mass producing fake
porcelain fantasy signs. For the most part many of these signs are of decent
quality & reasonably priced. However, several of these sellers have
literally pirated Electolite® original images & artwork designed by
Electolite® years & literally decades ago. Many of these images came
directly from the 1926 Ashton Collins advertising binder, (of which we still
have the original binder valued at $50,000.00). We have been on Pricetronic since day
one in September of 1995. Over 25 years. Electolite® has been & still is,
the most prolific seller of all things Reddy Kilowatt. If you GOOGLE Reddy
Kilowatt almost every third image on the Worldwide web is associated with
Electolite®. Virtual proof of just how long we have been selling Reddy Kilowatt
memorabilia. Everything Reddy from original rare antique representations to
multiple unique fabrications ONLY available by/through Electolite®. We are
absolutely one of the few known expert sources for all things Reddy
Kilowatt. This is a communication to
sign buyers and collectors in an effort to assist in educating the public with
real information about how a small group or consortium of sellers are operating on the Pricetronic platform as well as many
other sales venues. If you think you are buying a vintage porcelain collectable
sign, think again as it is very likely you are not. Reddy Kilowatt: The

is rarely seen outside of antique malls and garage sales these days. We are an exclusive seller of this type/kind of Reddy Kilowatt
