Question Had an add pulled/deleted...

[GregB]

I had listed a no name/ unmarked import auto that I listed as such and it was deemed to be a clone. It didn't have any markings, so I didn't think there would be a problem. Can I get a little more clarification on why it was deemed a clone? Thanks.

Howdy Greg,
"Clones" or "Homages" are knives that are copies of other designs.
"Fakes" are knives that are copies of other designs, including the brand markings.
Both are prohibited in the Exchange
