That's what it's all about

I received an email from another Audiogon member yesterday telling me that he was on Ebay and happened to find a listing for a pair of Kharma Ceramique CE 1.0s that looked suspiciously identical to an ad that I have presently running here on Audiogon. I went to Ebay and sure enough, there was the ad with the exact same pictures and copy from my ad originating from some person in the UK with no feedback. I tried to contact Ebay to let then know what was going on and I even had to register with Ebay to lodge a complaint. They noted that it might be as long as 36 hours before they might be able to respond and by that time the auction for "my" speakers could be over. I guess this kind of thing happens all the time, but I would have never thought much about it or been made aware exept another kind member, Dave Frigo, cared enough to advise me. That's what Audiogon is all about...Thanks Dave... Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!

I dont see the big deal about somone using your pic for thier set they are selling.

I dunno what a vandersteen 1b looks like, never seen one but i have an idea. I have been unable to find any pictures of these on the net.
If i was selling a set, i had no digital camera, and i thought it would help to put a picure of them and i found somone selling a set with a pic, i would probably throw it in.

However, i would also sure as hell state that the picture is not of the actual pair im selling, and go into detail to describe the condition.

Yeah, you definatly have a point there. Using the exact same text is pretty sad. I would definatly tend to think this is some sort of a scam.
