Warning to those buying Hab's on ebay

[beamie]

Dave,

Don't fully understand your gripe. If this seller is selling the same product who cares where he gets his photos or a bit of text. As long as it is new in the bag. Did you take this photo yourself. You could have got it elsewhere too?

I dont have a gripe with him if he has the product but does he have the item. Why not take his own photos. My photos are stolen all the time and then used to sell items that the person does not actually have.
My problem with this is somebody winning the item and then getting beat out of money when the guy dont have the item because he used my photos.
I am just trying to look out for you guys. That is all.

Thanks for the heads up,,,,, I was wondering when some scumbag was going to try something like that or someone was going to try to pass off a knockoff,,,,,,,

Good heads up,,,,,

Beamie, are you selling the needles? I think Dave was just telling us to look out and that it may seem suspicious to not use you own photos for an auction when the Hab's lures are so coveted right now. Perhaps it was just easier and they may be EXACTLY the same lures, Dave just brought forward the fact that the photos were taking by him for HIS auction..... Just looking out for us thats all. Who wants to pay $75 bucks for a needle and not even get the one they thought they were getting? Thanks Dave,

Man, is this Hab plug selling out of control. I just went and looked at EBay and see Hab plugs being bid on with prices like $70, $80, $90 dollars.

I should be rich. John gave me hundreds of plugs to field test back in 91 and 92 before he hit the market commercially. I, in turn, gave lots of them away to friends.

Still got a stash but not what I had.

I wish I had 1 not to sell to fish with.

It's called copyright infringement.

First, it's against ebay rules to copy photos and/or description. If you scroll to the bottom of any auction page there is a "Report this item" button and you can choose that particular issue to report. Second, it is almost always an indication that the auction is a scam. No matter, no-one wants another seller to use their description and photos to sell an item and ebay does not allow it.
