Default So.....

So, has anyone contacted Estes and brought this to their attention?

As Teri Garr would say "Kwitcher Bitchin'" and do something about it!

It's not my work this time, as far as I can see; he's just infringing Centuri (and thus Estes) this time.

Someone over at The Word Game Forum wanted to know what kind of vendor he was. So it was time for a bump

This horse has been beat to death for too long.
There is NOTHING physically wrong with his kits.
My guess is most say BFD to his supposed 'unethical' intellectual property supposed 'violations'.
Ever hear of 'Napster' ?
Most did not give a rat's butt about the legality there either....

I say quitcherbytchin and just suck it up and LEAVE IT ALONE.
Can't believe the amount of WHINING over this and the minimal amount of $$$ this MUST concern.

On the other hand, some things NEVER change!

Someone wanted to know what kind of business man he is so its all here. A thief with no ethics.

As a side note that was my handiwork as well that he stole and profited from. Perhaps most of you don't give a crap but I do. As I know Solo does as well.

There were others he stole artwork from also. SO there are at least 4 people who DO give a crap.

Not worth suing at this point either, not cost effective. However when someone asks about another's business practice, I have no problem shining a light on the cockroaches that scurry on the floor.

Make that 5.

I recently discovered that my Guillotine Fin Jigs were being offered on Ebay by fly by night operators who had apparently lifted the photos and descriptions from the Amazon photos and text placed there by Apogee. Fortunately, whoever did this is so stupid that they listed my product under the heading "Salt water fishing lures" and at a 75% markup over Tim van Milligan's retail price!

They should have listed them under "Sucker Bait"! LOL!

If someone is stupid enough to pay 4 times your price for a fin jig when it is resold, that is their loss.

I thought you were in the 'free market'/'profiteer' camp ?

If that is so, who the heck are you to say what your product can sell for in the free market ?

Well GH, as I've said before and I'll say again...I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you. It least not here. But if you, ghrocketman, (if that is your real name?) will come on over to the Sagitta Cantina and become a card carrying member thereof, I'll send you a copy of the Guillotine plans and you can build one yourself and then we can discuss it's true value in the legitimate marketplace.

What do you say, GH? Prices will never be lower. Deal or Dud?
