An endless supply of "vintage" anything
really doesn't make it vintage
any longer.
My thoughts on that particular item is that he should've been
up front about it's origin instead of hiding behind vagueness.
Reproduction parts have their place but they should be clearly
identified as such when buying/selling them.
