Sorry for my poor english, my native lenguage is french.
I think there is nothing worst for a collector than to receive a repro instead of an original, especialy when it comes from a profetionnal of toys.
I bought a china rebel soldier on ebay from toy_trader_uk in a direct trade. It was said "it comes with "ORIGINAL" blaster! "great for serious collector"!!!
funny
I was really pissed off this morning when I received it to see that the blaster was a repro. Also I wrote very kindly to him to tell him I was surprised, but I was even more surprised when he complitly denied it and said I must be wrong!!
Then I insisted and he said I should be happy because he sold me a nice figure! I can't beleive it.
So I just want you to be aware of that because I know you hate repro as much as me.
here is our little conversation:
"Hi
I received the figure today, thank you. But you gave me a repro blaster, and It was said It is an original. What do you propose?"
"Hi
I don't deal in repro I never have and I never will , so I think you are mistaken

"Is this really your answer to this? i don't think this is really professionnel.
I Am a serious star Wars collector, and i recognised it was a repro first thing when i saw It. Then i did the water test, That confirmed my thought, then i went to impérial gunnary website to identify the repro and again i had confirmation.
i Am absolutly positive It is a repro. I admit you CAN Make a mistake, but if you deny It and don't do anithing to repair this, i would have to Make a note in conséquence. Sorry about That but i Am very surprised by your answer.

"yes it is, as I don't deal in repro at all , Look at my shop there are no repros of anything listed there, it may be possible that i have made an error it looked fine to me and i can't water test every weapon I get.
You got the a nice condition china scuplt figure with a 3.00 off best offer discount and you could buy another weapon for less than that, so i think even if somehow it is repro you have not done badly
if you don't want the item then please send it back to me

"In fact this is what i was thinking, i got a repro wapon because i asked a lower price, but then you should have told It before.
I won't waste my Time sending It back.
I propose you sent me a réal wapon or refond 3 euros witch is the price of an original blaster.

"Plus you are suppose to be a professional toy trader, you say you sell an original blaster, It has to be original. I recognised It very easily, if you don't, then you should do the water test or change your job or not saying you are selling original wapon
- routchane"
"well you think wrong,
if you want to think liek that then maybe I could think you thought the shipping was to high ( as shipping is expensive) and this is a way to get more money off?
you have misunderstood me, I don't KNOWINGLY OWN OR SELL any repro items if this is a repro then that is the way it was sold to me and I have missed it
you have already had 3.00 off I'm not refunding any more without a return, it can't bother you that much if its 'a waste of your time' to return it
