Wow, there's a big difference. $202.50 for a repop plate, I would be pissed.

Just turn it over and look for the green, or pick it up and you can sure tell.

Come to think of it... the plates in my second picture were sold to a member here a year ago or so...

The difference between the plates is like night and day... and if you need to, post a picture here before spending $200 on a $20 repop plate.

Donnie,the easiest way to tell is to look at the screw holes. They are almost twice the size on the repop.

This was sold by Jim Rohn, who frequents the boards here. Maybe he can chime in...
