Selling banned items

[lDIOTIC]

I'm trying to sell an item that's banned on ebay. Nothing major, they ban it under 'weapons', but it's just a really really old policeman's truncheon. Hardly a weapon of mass destruction! Is there any other place when I can sell it? Urgenly, please, I fear I may get 'pre-emptively' bombed by coalishun forces at any minute.

In your local paper?

There must be someone out there who would be intersted in your old truncheon.

Failing that, just type in Truncheon Collectors on Google. There are some out there.

Link won't work for some reason.
I have not had any interest in my old truncheon for year, despite many efforts on my part.

Sell it on ebay under collectables and memorabilia. There is so much worse sold on ebay that they dont bother doing anything with that you will be fine. They dont check your entrys unless they are reported and so long as you make clear it is old you will be fine. The weapons rule is not designed to cover this sort of thing.

Hmm. Maybe I should try again cassimer. They seemed to be running a filter on 'truncheon' (since I notice that they list it as 'potentially infringing' (isn't that the job title of a part time hairdresser?)
It got banned within about 10 hours, and they sent me a warning. I think someone wanting to commit a major crime could well be interested in my antique truncheon.
But...wait a minute....couldn't he buy a tennis racket on ebay and go out and attack someone?
I notice that the gun salesmen started 'black plastic bags' on ebay, throwing in a pistol for free! LOL. Then the cops stepped in.

MargeB - That one works & you will see a few old truncheons on there!

See No. 109 - Taff Vale Railway - Policeman's Decorated Truncheon "TVR" �900!!

You never know!

There's no explaining those railway memorabilia collectors.
I'll try one of those auctions, thanks.

That's okay - glad to be of service to you Marge.
