Repaints on Ebay

Usually we're fuming about it ...

But not this time.

Here's a good auction from a fair and honest seller:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subbuteo-football-team-3-teams-hand-painted-1970s-/180670757715

The description:

"3 Subbuteo teams from the 1960s and 70s
Hand painted by myself.

Arsenal second strip from 1971 cup final. Formerly Wolves ... .

Chile team from 1970s. Hand painted by me, formerly Liverpool ... .

Bulgaria hand painted by me, formerly Newcastle ... .

Heavyweight teams from the 60s and 70s."

Top man for honesty - simply stating it as it is. We salute you, Ansty from Romsey!

Now ... why can Lucky (Italy) and Dickiesrealdeal / streetsofrimini (and other IDs from the artful dodger in Manchester) not be as straight in their sales?

quite right when helenwhatsername and mike peacock get great prices for their honest painting anyway!

I hope the bloke gets at least £30 for them. They are worth that surely?

Too true Jon...Why strip a team, rebase it and repaint it, when you can have just as much fun painting replicas? Surely it take's twice as long as well...if not longer.

As noted by Steve on another Forum, in this case it's crime, not honesty, that pays.

This guy only bagged £9.50 for the 3

Deserved much more......

got to be £1 a player whether repainted or not surely!
