Re: Doesn't anyone like original Hickey Enterprises parts?

It is fine that they are good quality reproductions. It doesn't change the fact that they aren't original. I don't feel they are appropriately marked to differentiate them from originals. Even on Ebay they are listed as Hickey items and they are not. What is to stop some unscrupulous reseller to buy these and then list them as NOS to an uninformed buyer? 15 years or so down the road when Erik's parts start to hit the second hand market what is to stop them from selling for as much as the original items? You would have to be a Hickey expert to be able to tell the difference and most of us are not.
