Hello everyone,
How does this badge look to you? I still struggle with these, to me it looks Okay, but I may be wrong. Thanks for your input!

It looks like a fake to me.

HI Scott, Thanks for your confirmation. I figured the lack of response may have been a good sign. I like it as well, just still not good at these, even after hours of thread research.

Found it on the bay. At $51 the reserve is not met. One day and 10 hours to go. The last second of the auction will be interesting.


I have no dog in the fight, and I'm not interested in this badge.


Good luck to you all.

GONE! Seller took best offer from someone - closed down the original add and then reposted immediately for a "BUY IT NOW" OF $200! Behind the scene dealings going on here right before my eyes - hope you got it PAUL G because ITs GONE now...

Oldhonda - if you were not going to get it why did you feel you had to open your mouth?? That's a real JERK move! Did you have something to prove for your ego??

[Paul G]

Damn! Looks like I lost the bidding on that one! I hate when sellers do that! I figured it was a good one, by the silence. Many collectors will not comment on auction items that are currently running. Its a double edge sword for me, as I want to know its good, but don't want to announce it to all the competition. I would gladly let anyone know where it was for sale in a private PM, even if they would be bidding competition.

Beretta,

Why are you talking this way? Just because Oldhonda noted it was "on the bay" (like most of us guessed) doesn't mean he was giving away secrets or sniping. Why do you think a WAF reader here would seek to undercut one of our own?

This is twice you've shot off your mouth in this fashion.

I think you owe Oldhonda a QUICK & SINCERE apology.

I thought this thread needed attention.

Shocker that this still occurs

The commenting on current auctions is fraught with difficulties...

BTW, is there a thread showing differences between authentic and fake badges? They look so similar to my old eyes...
