Shop reselling my gear ???

[mfisher]

Looking over the comments here I will say that I am in absolute complete agreement that if someone wants to buy a product from me then resell it at a profit then hey. more power to them.. I am just surprised he could get that amount for them..(although I only remember one order over the years going to Chino, California..). I feel bad enough as it is charging what I do.. but I am really just charging for the time involved.. I cannot turn these out as quickly as I would like... I think it is reasonable to charge for my time...anyhoo... the real rub with me is that he literally stole my images from my site.. then straight out copied and pasted the text from my own site.. and fails to give me any credit whatsoever... if we wanted to get in a pissing match I could argue intellectual property and have an attorney involved.. because I have not only been a police officer for ten years.. I am currently attending law school as well... so the guy is wrong.. period... dead wrong... all I want is that he give credit where credit is due.. and take his own images and write his own text... if he thinks people will pay a mark up price for my gear then have at it... he still has to buy it from me initially.. and I get the payment on the front end that I feel is reasonable for my efforts... I dont care if someone resells my gear for twice the amount I charge.. thats just the capitalism market at work... I just want credit for my efforts..

This wouldn't be the first time something questionable has happened. A freak bought a 2-Face off of him what was supposedly "new" and "MIB" only to receive one that had the twisty ties removed and pieces missing. That thread ended in disaster with fanboys basically stomping negative posters out and trolling until the thread got locked.

I think your perspective is very fair, mfisher, and I think it is appropriate to inform the collecting community of behavior that may violate the norms and mores of the community. But I do hope that Q may pop in and give his perspective on things so that he can explain his actions and/or say what he plans to do from here.

I may be thinking of another thread, but I think the one you are referring to was re-opened once the OP gave Q ample chance to respond/make right. It may have been closed after that point, though.

Wow, I come home from being at Disneyland all day with the family and enjoying my only day off not knowing this crap is being said about me.

Mfisher, never heard of sending someone a pm and giving them a chance to reply back with their explanation?

What are the moderators for? A good mod should have seen this, closed it and asked Mfisher to attempt to contact first prior to opening a thread like this.....

I have sent Mfisher an explanation via PM....

 

[Q]

Here is my reasoning for having his items on my site:

I contacted Mfisher in April to see if you wanted to do the onesixth xpo show. I told him I would help him and other customizers out to promote their business. I listed the items on my site in attempt to get him more exposure. My site is run by me only, as you can tell by the custom section, it is pretty bad and out dated. I did not intend to sell anything of hise, I got a couple of hits and redirected them to his site. My parts numbers say MF, so obviously I wasnt trying to hide anything.

I wish you would have given me a chance to explain myself, never heard of innocent until proven guilty? I never wanted to cause any drama, just wanted to help a fellow freak out.

I like how one something comes up, boardies jump on the band wagon and begin saying bullcrap......

I directed him toward your user profile so he could work it out with you through pm. Hopefully, everything gets straightened out.

 

[Q]

F that guy. That's some shady shat. But what do you expect from a leech like that? He's only on this forum to buy his wares for cheap so he can flip em at his Booth..

As long as the seller gets what he wants for it, who cares what the buyer does with it. I never knew you felt this towards me, glad I know now....

But I like how you have no problem jumping on the band wagon when someone else says something..... Its Sunday, isnt there football games to watch!

you can't have it both ways. steal someones pictures, fail to a give them a heads up when you're daisy chaining off their work, etc and then cry when someone doesn't give you a heads up.

Thats like crying when your neighbor turns you in for secretly tapping into their cable.

Thanks, I wish everyone would have given me a chance to explain myself before throwing rocks at me....

Defamation of character anyone?????

In fairness it did not appear mfisher was aware of who you were when he came across the listing and was asking members for their input.

If he's satisfied with your explanation then I'm sure we can all consider the matter closed, but it will probably be worthwhile to wait for his reply.

Huh? Go watch a football game or something....

But he didnt give me a chance to reply or anything. Everyone started bad mouthing me from the get go. Not right,

That was dealt with a long time ago, not sure why this was brought up. The person was taken care of...

 

[ProgMatinee]

You know, if you are clear of any underboard actions, acting all defensive isn't really the way to resolve it.

I think most of us are very open minded, but you aren't helping. Looks more like sweeping under the carpet and lighting it on fire.

Chill and explain it. All the time in the world to get this right.

He posted a thread, it was responded to like any other by the first ones that saw it.

 

[Raymond F.]

I'd say a fair chance for explanation is warranted, nothing wrong with that.

Hope it's amicable. Mike is one of the greatest guys to commission. Really can't say enough about him, just great.

If you did all this as you say, why would Mfisher all of a sudden say you stole his info? He would've known you were "promoting" his services by cut/paste his descriptions and pics. Doesn't make sense...

Yes but it got out of hand really quick....

An explanation has been sent to Mfisher, no need to waste more of my time here. None of you are forced to buy from me!
