It's been long enough in my opinion for vintage star wars sellers to be aware of the Toy Toni scandal and to be declaring suspect pieces when selling
them to unsuspecting buyers.

My palitoy ebay search has a dozen undeclared AFA/UKG graded Tonis on the first page of search results alone. This is a blight in the selling community
that will drive new collectors away from collecting.

So I'm taking a stand, and naming all sellers who have been told they have suspect pieces and are still not declaring them, or sellers, who in my opinion,
know about this scandal and are continuing not to declare that they are suspect pieces.

I will not buy anything from the sellers listed below, and recommended other vintage collectors to do the same. On facebook, users who are on the list
have been banned from my facebook group, and many other star wars facebook groups too. I would recommend forum admins to do the same, if they
have an account on a star wars forum you admin.

If sellers wish to be removed from the list, they should change their ebay listings/web sites etc to declare affected pieces as suspect and then they will be
removed from the list of sellers to avoid doing business with and be readmitted to facebook groups etc.

If you have additions to the list, then post on this thread, with the sellers name/company/ebay id etc and an example link to an undeclared Toni they are selling.

Lets make this happen people. Power to the community!

cheers Jason

Saw this on your FB group Jason. Definitely a good idea.
I can understand ppl who maybe spent a couple of hundred quid on one and cant afford to lose that money. It doesn't excuse them passing the problem on to someon else, but i can understand some of them trying to do it.

BT on the other hand, that's a ****ing disgrace! :evil:
