here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=19168 he uses striders and darktaris cars pics to sell thier clones! i dont think its right to do that, people will see your sweet modded cars and think thats what they are getting when they are really getting a cheep clone!

i guess its a good thing i decided to browse ebay....lol

What type of stitch pattern should Strider use? :cool:

I'm just joking, ridealot100. Just poking fun at a mistake we all make.

I believe several images were stolen from RCmod.com and no credit was given to them. The mod site listed was RCtech.com (I believe).

The seller was wrong for jacking the pictures ,.
Darktari should contact him and blast him .
He used DTs car in the main picture . That does constitute fraud .

He used one of Biohazard's cars on another item. The guy has about 10 Mini RC Cars up at this time. RCmod has contacted eBay and has their lawyers looking into it because this guy is making money using images from their site. Plus the RCtech.com site he mentions in the item description for Mods on the cars is a site mainly for 10th scale RC. I went there and scanned quickly and I didn't notice any mention of Bits, Microsizer or Zip Zaps. I didn't do a search under the articles I was just seeing the site at a glance.

so we are getting this guy busted? i think thats the right thing to do because i doubt they were use with permission.......


btw, hows bio? is he on this site or only on admirals? just asking b/c i havent seen him around

That's pretty jacked up! People are always looking for ways to rip people off.

I looked at that before. I didn't look close, but the first thought I got was, why is darktari selling that sweet car for only a few bucks? And how is he going to keep up with demand if a lot of people start asking for one?

I guess I'm a space cadet.

Good work Comrad.

As stated before, most of the images were taken from RCmod. I sent an email to their admin after reading about it on bitpimps, and he was unaware of any modder giving this person permisson to use the photos. Like bilbo said, RCmod's lawyers are trying to get E-bay to take care of the situation.
This guy was out to make money, and didn't care whether or not he had consent to use the pics.
You can write all the nice things you want about the authors of the images, but you still have to ask, to use them.


He'll be dealt with....

thats good to know! keep us updated!:D

any updates?

I just checked a few minutes ago and the person is still using images stolen from RCmod's site.

I just clicked the link and it's been removed.

Not to mention the fact that I don't care who uses my pics, sorry.

I posted them knowing they are on the web.

To be honest, I'm curious which pics he used of mine.
...and a little flattered.

Nope I don't care what happens with those pics.

I own the CARS. That's the important thing.

:cool:

Hmmm,.
I guess my original post ,...wasn't too far off .
I edited my original post because I didn't want anyone to
think I was defending the seller ,. DT s pix was used as a
main picture , which appeared to be for sale . Strider's pix
were displayed at the bottom as a custom done by a
modder . I am only talking about the link that was posted.
I haven't looked at his other auctions . As far as taking
the pix from the hosting sites , he was wrong if their
policies prohibit . It looks like Ebay has dealt with him,
since the auction is now invalid .

I can understand why he would want to use the pics. Dark Tari and the others make some of the sweetest custom cars out there.
It would definitely improve sales of his products. Maybe if he had done the right thing and asked everyone for their permission (not to mention grease some palms) things would have turned out differently.

Strider here are the pix he used .

And this one

Here's another auction with the pix ,.. seems to be a different
seller though .http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=44025

I can't bitch about that at all.

The guy at least gives me props on the pics by putting my handle on 'em.

I have no problems with it.

here aswell
 

[Namuna edit] You don't really want to be kicked off the Forums for posting outwar links, do you?

Don't do that again, please.

Don't click the link, it's bogus.

Well, I would also be so honored to have my cars used to sell mini-cars. But it still doesn't change the fact that the seller is trying to trick people to get them to buy something else. He should be upfront and show the buyer what they're in for, and then show what the potentials are. Otherwise he's just another snake. You could say that it's not quite a lie, but I could say he's not quite honest, witch makes him a liar. Remember that we make our own hobbies as a group of individuals. We shouldn't let bastards fill our ranks.

O man, after two hundred and something posts, you should know that the bastards have ALWAYS been among us! ;)

This is all too true.

ok.....he changed the ad...here is his latest...: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=44025

no more worries...i think he got he point...

“These Panther Micro RC Racers are the quickest, most responsive and most reliable car in the market today. Compare to Honda-Make Qualities and Standards !!!”

Errr nope the Panthers are the worst slowest poor made mini RC car I have ever seen.. Also all the Panthers I have seen come with a 60mah battery not a 120mah one

I also like the way he has pic of Shen Qi Wei cars up there with the Panthers

Just to let you know how bad the Panthers are

I know 2 traders

One sells Shen Qi Wei cars and the other sells Panthers

The one that sells Shen Qi Wei is lucky if he gets back 2 faulty cars every 2 weeks

But the one that sells Panthers has over 30 cars returned to him every week! And over 540 in his lockup that he can’t do enything with as there all faulty “Got given loads :D ”

Anyway back on topic,

He need to display what he is selling and not deceive the buyers
