She has three Huxley’s for sale. Two without COA’s and one with a COA. For the reasons I stated above I think they are fakes but could not say for sure with out the proof of purchase, She posted picks of the flange. I have no idea what the fakes look like, if they are neck stamped so a COA would be nice.
From what you and others insinuate, I agree it is probably futile. Dave is not a doll expert by any means and the site is loosely policed by all of us. It is not really going to work out if half the artists on the site believe it is okay to paint and sell fakes and/or think it is to rude to question an artist for doing so. I am not out to hurt anyone but if Dave where to reach out to me and need proof of purchase, I would have no problem providing it. I would be happy to and I am not sure what the big deal is with that. I would think that would be a common understanding if you are signing up on a site that states no knock off’s that you might at some point need to, not sure how else you would prove it if questioned. I agree it is not practical to be constantly digging up receipts but I guess if that’s the case and you are being asked to show proof all the time because you are constantly posting sold out kits with no COA’s ,you might have a prob with buying fakes. I have been on reborns 6mos, left and came back, been on a year and a half now and so far no one has asked me for proof of purchase.
I do think the sculptors are the ones who need to step up. For whatever reason they have yet to organize in any meaningful way. I feel like rebornsdotcom is our last safe refuge from fakes. If the sculptors could at least organize to work with Dave we could keep the site clean and safe. I don’t think many artist will buy fakes if they can’t sell them on one of the most popular selling sites. Could be a win all around but I won’t hold my breath!
