Did you even read ANY of what was posted?

People are receiving high dollar toys they've ordered from Mandarake, with the assumption that these toys have not been altered from their original states. They're paying top dollar prices for vintage 60s and 70s product, mostly tin toys and gokins, only to find out after receiving them that Mandarake heavily restores them. That's a big freaking deal man. It's one thing to advertise an item with restoration and then sell it based on that knowledge. When the buyer is made aware of that, then you attract a buyer who wants that.

But it's an entirely different situation when a company secretly does this, omits any of that information that would indicate this from it's listings, and sells these items to buyers at their regular prices that authentic vintage pieces would go for. That is absolutely a despicable tactic.
