Necromancer 8 Posted April 18, 2014 Some people don't like to see other people getting ripped off. Some people like to interfere or get involved in things that don't affect them. Some people just like to impart their knowledge. Me, I really couldn't give a flying fook as long as it doesn't affect me or mine. But that's just me...

Robin195959 2 Posted April 21, 2014 This differs from M2M how? The selling price strongly suggests the buyer new what he was getting. Get off your high horses!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 4 Posted April 21, 2014 Technically it depends upon where you live, it may not be illegal to own or buy reps but to sell them etc etc but to clarify my point, I was referring to the inherent illegality of the actions of selling fakes as described by the terms of a particular website. If you still don't understand I have some crayons and a pot of non-toxic paint I can use to draw you a picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted April 21, 2014 Wow there really are some numpties here. The issue is not the selling of replicas but in the selling of replicas and passing them off as Gens therefore ripping off unsuspecting consumers. This listing was updated after it was made and even then it was not clear that the watch was a replica as he only used the word "rep". I couldn't give a flying fuck if someone sells a replica and advertises it as such. I do however give a shit when people sell replicas for exorbitant amounts and knowingly rip off people.

Robin195959 2 Posted April 21, 2014 Check out the first line of any AA meeting. Or from another perspective lets not throw stones from our glass house. Do we really want to draw unnecessary attention to us or our TD's? Let the rest get on with it. We are here to avoid such crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted April 21, 2014 Mikeangie was the only person relating any of this to the TD's. Ebay has nil to do with them, none are daft enough to try that. One of the reasons why so many members here "get on their high-horses" about reps being sold on Ebay is because we knowingly buy reps from safe sources. RWG members (i'd hope) search meticulously and deliberately for their next rep. Ebay is a marketplace where people should be insulated from mistakenly purchasing counterfeits. We see people who try to flog reps on there as bringing a bad name to our hobby, trying to take advantage of the unknowing buyer, regardless of whether the description indicated the item to be a fake or not. It could be one person who's been trolling through WUS/WR for months looking for a speedy in budget who may see a cheap speedy on ebay and think "what a bargain!" and bid without reading the description thoroughly. Or it could be an old person thinking they're buying a great little gift for their son/nephew etc, not everyone is so familiar with the ebay/ the internet. It only takes one, and it brings this whole hobby into a poor light. Caveat emptor always, but buyers should feel safe there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
