That guy also operates on another name selling other car related stuff. He is in Canada, not Las Vegas(notice how he accepts only paypal and Intl. money orders. It doesn't look like he's had many customers thankfully.

The good news is it looks like there are tags on top of a bucket, not a bucket full.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. You can get a repro trim tag with correct rivets for just about any car.

Repro trans tags, repro trim tags, phony build sheets, even people on the take to document a car as an authentic. Nothing is sacred.

He has been selling them for a fairly long time.
Search him / this topic over on Team Camaro.
Most of what he sells is fake crap.
He sells more offline than he sells on ebay.

He is a real grade "A" POS.

I only hope that one of his tags find that "special" person who has no sense of humor about being screwed with a bad tag and then returns it in person.

I don't know of any cases yet in Oklahoma with persons connected on one side or the other of the November, 2007 state law, Oklahoma Statute, but it'd be interesting to read about any circumstances. Note the statue says repro tags can be used if they are stamped REPLACEMENT TAG.

I only wish other states would follow suit to put these sellers of 'novelty' items in jeopardy. I've seen a number of Chevelle reproduction tags from trimtags.com and, for the most part, are like phony window stickers and build sheets, no too hard to spot.

I was thinking of this guy and his cronies on my way to work this morning and wondered what if we here as a group picked on eBay by daily targeting specific auctions we see listed...one day this joker, the next day another?.

How many report messages from our completely different eBay accounts could eBay stand before they do something when like patterns of resentment against specific auction items consistently flows in daily?.
Especially if we're all citing the same Federal and State Laws being broken!.

Pete,
Ebay has refused to take a stand on this and put trim tags on their prohibited list. I was hoping they would finally see the light after the OK law was passed. Ebay's reply to me was roughly, "There is no VIN or vehicle-specific information on the trim tag". Of course, we know that's not true, but since cars aren't registered or titled by a body number, that's their loophole.
