As I've stated before, his auction listings are BS.
You can't say an absolute like 100% Original, and then list exceptions.

He gets great prices for his cleaned up figures, so why be deceptive?

And yes, those are blue gloves painted green.

Looking at Greg's other current listings, I see a Robin. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, it has Batman gloves painted green. Yet the description says only "Overseas made repro green gloves very clean, NO splits, perfect."

Benbarb Robin

I know that Greg has been very successful at tiptoeing around the facts by clarifying his titles in his descriptions. And while I've seen people complaining about this for years, only recently have I started seeing more of these examples of what I'd classify as overstepping the bounds. I don't have time to dig around for the posts, but I know I've read a few recently that grabbed my attention more than the usual gripes about "100% complete, all original." Granted, this particular case is over a $3 pair of repro gloves... but seriously, this is beginning to reflect far worse that discrepancies between the titles and descriptions.

That new zoom feature ain't gonna do him any favors. I couldn't see what you were talking about until I used the zoom, and they are very obviously blue inside.

Awesome! Variant repro parts!!

Has anyone ever asked to see the inside stitching or the MEGO tag or the elastic bands inside?

The unmarked Doctor MEGO Dinah Health Spa suit that benbarb sold last year on eBay prompted a thread here that brought the good Doc himself on to write that benbarb does indeed have unmarked reproduction parts and clothing.

You be the judge.

Wow i can't defend that. While he has never done me wrong in a deal, the word games do get tough to swallow.

[Tothiro]

I believe this is the thread mentioned.

[saucerful]

Yup. Though I had the origin of the thread incorrect in my memory.
I'm certain I saved the eBay listing of the unHealthy suit.

It's too bad that this guy has to tarnish his reputation over little things like this. He obviously has a knack for creating attractive listings so why be dishonest over petty little items? I own my own business and I know all too well that it's the little things that customers tend to remember.

I'd sell the Robin without gloves before doing something like that.

Great eye stabs,
I blew it up on the iPad and witnessed blue on the inside of glove. I am interested to know what paints are used on the gloves?

[Tothiro]

I know from eye stabs!

Not having actually looked for the photo discussed, I do know that Krylon Fusion spray paints stick pretty well to vinyl, but they suck (or more accurately fall right off) on CTVT boots.
