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 would suspect some really deep pockets if your contemplating seriousness in class action. Then again the circus has a really big purse its self...........
Slipknot1,

I'm certain that they have gotten plenty of fright mail in the past. They do have some problems but most are generated by corrupt individuals. As always the source is much better than that of secondary involvement. Then again having friends in high places doesn't hurt either. What ever the outcome I'm sure that it's been there more than once before. What caught my eye was that great American threat by law...........simply all American too! cheers!!

I couldn't agree more with you about society today. The key word is "try" to protect. Rip off artists are in all walks of life. Ebay is just one of those massive breading grounds. The internet is still very young. And we will see a lot worse in time to come. I hope you get your situation rectified. And I'm sure lots of others are in the same boat too.
