VISIT MEXICO PEMEX TRAVEL CLUB License Plate Topper 4\" High by 3\" Wide:
$59.40

4\" high by 3\" wide.NOTICE! These toppers were NEVER made years and decades ago. The few youMAY have seen being described as \"ORIGINAL and selling as\"original\" are actually \"fake\" representations of a topperthat AGAIN, was NEVER an \"old\" collectable antique. The\"few\" that HAVE sold for $200-$400 are NEW toppers, (actually made inthe last several years), treated with acids and chemicals to accelerate theaging process, to make them look \"old and rusty\", and to deceive thebuyer/collector. I have done research on this item and have learned that PEMEX,(which stands for PETROLEOS MEXICANOS), represented Mexico\'s \"stateowned\" petroleum company. PEMEX travel literature WAS made over the years and many authentic brochures and literature is out there. It\'s the PEMEX plate toppers that were NEVER made back in the1940\'s, 1950\'s, 1960\'s, 1970\'s, 1980\'s or even in the 1990\'s! Basically, ANYONEwho has a \"rusty old PEMEX topper\" who claims it\'s an\"original\" is a person who was duped, fooled and \"tricked\"into paying some CrAZy price for a \"FAKE FANTASY\" item. DON\'T befooled into offerding and buying a \"vintage\" PEMEX plate topper becausethere is NO SUCH THING. Do some research and you will see that an\"antique\" PEMEX topper is non-existent. It is COMMON sense that if you research something, (for example the PEMEX plate topper), and you can find NO photos, information or ANY reference dating back over the years it did NOT exist. If it DID exist, one would find \"old photos\" from years ago showing the PEMEX topper. Again, SOLID PROOF that the PEMEX license plate topper is a NEW item and NOT vintage. Those that say otherwise are likely the VERY persons responsible for the fake PEMEX toppers.
I CHALLENGE anyone out thereto show me a photograph from BEFORE the year 2000 that has an\"original\" PEMEX plate topper. Just show me that photograph. It doesNOT exist because \"vintage\" original PEMEX plate toppers were NEVERmade decades ago. PERIOD.

I suggest buyers take notice of the few sellers that are selling PEMEX toppers as \"authentic\" vintage pieces. These sellers change their user names frequently, have a history of MANY \"BAD BUYER\" experiences and continue to sell through deception. These SAME sellers just \"happen\" to have SEVERAL door push and \"vintage\" signs that are also NOT real. ALL reproductions made to \"look \"rusty and old. ALL described as \"old\" and the sellers choose their descriptive words carefully. Some, NOT ALL, of these SAME sellers ALSO reproduce FIRE KING mugs with Peanuts and other collectors pieces. They have moderate success selling these for incredible prices. All sold through deception and \"trickery\" and they are VERY GOOD AT IT!

This topper for $56.00 is a great value and we DON\'T need to soak it in acid to accelerate the aging process to make it \"look old\" and rusty. Too many buyers are being deceived by just a few dishonest sellers. I suggest you take a LONG HARD look at who you are buying from what kind of history the seller has. Take a look at their response comments over time.

Why offer ALMOST $200 on a \"FAKE FANTASY\" PEMEX topper that NEVER existed more than 10 years ago. We have sold about 100 of these for $66.00 and EVERY buyer is completely satisfied. Five buyers were so satisfied they purchased additional PEMEX toppers and they did NOT get deceived OR ripped off by paying almost $200 for FAKE stuff! We can NOT, (will NOT), list or give out ANY seller\'s names. As an buyer you just need to be vigilant and careful about your purchases and the sellers behind them.

Do some research on PEMEX and you will see the history of the Mexican State petrol distributor. You will NEVER find a photo or ANY proof whatsoever that a PEMEX plate topper even EXISTED more than a few years back. This information, along with basic common sense will educate the buyer and EXPOSE the dishonest sellers of \"FAKE\" deceptive \"FANTASY\" sale items. If you bought a \"fake topper\" send it back! Hold these sellers to a higher standard!

Whomever you buy from I wish you the absolute best on your experience and if you take anything at all from this information we hope it PREVENTS you from being ripped off.

If you buy ANYTHING from us and you are not satisfied we WILL take it back. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. We make SURE our customers are satisfied! That\'s how we have over 7,000 response and NEVER ONE negative OR a neutral.

Thank you!


NOTICE!

This information should be very helpfulfor those buyers who don\'t want to get ripped off! There are a group of a dozenor so sellers selling signs they call porcelain, used, preowned and vintage. Ifyou look at their sales history under ITEMS SOLD, you will find that they havesold and are STILL selling the SAME EXACT porcelain, used, preowned and vintagesigns over and over and over again. DOZENS of the same signs. Common sensereality check people. There is NO WAY someone has a never-ending supply of thesame exact porcelain, used, preowned and vintage signs unless they are makingthem. These are fantasy fake reproductions listed as porcelain, used, preownedand vintage and are NOT even porcelain. The vast majority of buyers do not knowthe difference at all and this is what these deceptive sellers are counting on.If you are selling signs you make you should list them as such. Most of oursigns are NEW and our listings are transparent. Think twice before you buythese fake signs. It\'s OK to buy a sign made to look old but the buyer shouldbe told about this rather than intentionally deceiving people. If you call thesesellers out on this they just block you and continue flying under the radarselling fake signs that are NOT porcelain, used, preowned OR vintage.

There are a small handful of newer members, (we will not list these seller’s names), that are now selling signsthey describe as “pre-owned”, that are actually very recently made. These signsare intentionally made to look old or vintage & described as preowned. Thevast majority of these newbie sellers are mass producing their “preowned” signsof just about everything vintage they can find on the internet. If you take thetime to review & research these sellers, what they sell and how manyhundreds and thousands of the same exact same signs they have sold over &over the prospective buyer can obviously see that it would be virtuallyimpossible to have 100 or 200 of the same exact “preowned” signs unless theywere making these signs themselves. Of course, these sellers are purposely nottransparent with their descriptions. They are intentionally vague as most buyersdo not take the time to do the research. Instead, many buyers click & buybelieving that the signs are, in some way vintage because after all, they arelisted as “preowned”. In addition, they describe them as porcelain & 99.9%are NOT porcelain. The vast majority are a digitallyenhanced graphics on steel or tin & then beat up using a multitude ofvarious methods to accelerate an aged appearance. Everything from soaking inacid solutions & various concoctions of special chemicals all mixed, used& designed to produce & sell preowned signs with a vintage appearance.All of this performed in the art of deception. Inspecting the back of the signsthey are all virtually identical. Either black or white with bubbles &scratches here and there in various different spots. Ultimately, it is veryeasy to spot these types/kinds of signs. There are dozens of sellers practicingthe same identical questionable business practices mass producing fakeporcelain fantasy signs. For the most part many of these signs are of decentquality & reasonably priced. However, several of these sellers haveliterally pirated Electolite® original images & artwork designed byElectolite® years & literally decades ago. Many of these images camedirectly from the 1926 Ashton Collins advertising binder, (of which we stillhave the original binder valued at $50,000.00). We have been on since dayone in September of 1995. Over 25 years. Electolite® has been & still is,the most prolific seller of all things Reddy Kilowatt. If you GOOGLE ReddyKilowatt almost every third image on the Worldwide web is associated withElectolite®. Virtual proof of just how long we have been selling Reddy Kilowattmemorabilia. Everything Reddy from original rare antique representations tomultiple unique fabrications ONLY available by/through Electolite®. We areabsolutely one of the few known expert sources for all things ReddyKilowatt. This is a communication tosign buyers and collectors in an effort to assist in educating the public withreal information about how a small group or consortium of sellers are operatingon the platform as well as manyother sales venues. If you think you are buying a vintage porcelain collectablesign, think again as it is very likely you are not.
