Selling Items with Special Rules ?

[wsboyd]

I have some of those old style, fake Antique, plastic /resin / white metal, non-firing, wall decoration type "Flintlock" reproduction pistols to Sell on eBay.

Anybody know what the Rules are ?

Ok, anybody know what the 'circumstances' below are?

eBay does not permit the sale of... replica and “look-alike” guns. eBay permits ... imitation firearms under certain circumstances.

I did a quick search for "flintlock" under > Collectables > Militaria which produced several results for reproduction and/or decorative pistols.

From the description by the OP, it seems that this item is a decorative reproduction and was never constructed with the intention or physical means of ever being fired. I would think that this item would be fine - it is basically art.

You could check with live help to see if they can direct you to additional guidelines (if there is any) on non-firing, decorative reproduction firearms.

Thanks!
I'll try that.

this may seem like a silly question...but if I were to take a toy gun and paint it with auto paint to make it look more real..but put the orange cap back on...would I have troubles with the postal office or?

[wsboyd]

Probably.

Also, the Orange cap is supposed to be Perm. attached.
