I mean I guess you can look at it that way, but any sold on eBay aren't technically more "in sight" than the ones I'd sold on here previously as we don't know where they're headed potentially after that. It's also worth mentioning that I've not seen any of these pop up on the market since I bought this set well over a year ago nor has anyone I know been burned as you are describing so I'm still of the persuasion that this is a non issue. I get that you're concerned and I don't take it as a personal attack as I didn't make them in the first place, I just don't agree that it's "most likely" that this will result in some shady situation. Fwiw the Reefer gun was pulled early for an avid collector member here.
The explanation is legit though, I needed to raise some quick cash for a tire repair otherwise I'd be keen to hold onto these for trades. As far as marking them, that would essentially be damaging the item, and to be functional would rely on potential buyers having knowledge or these posts to ID them, which most people wouldn't even cross reference in the impulse moment of purchasing. Hope that clears things up.
