I haven't been skimming the sales forum too much but was earlier today and came across this post offering a Lum Tec C-1 for sale. Imagine my surprise to see pictures I had taken of my watch being displayed. If you've ever wondered why some member's photos have borders or are watermarked you now know why. Here's the post: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-lum-tec-c1-603937.html I sent this guy a PM so I expect the photos to be gone soon enough. I wonder if 3T members think this is just laziness or if the guy is a scammer? He did include his own photo (may be ) and does have 70 posts at WUS so he must be golden.  Feel free to drop him a PM. |

Well, he's effectively a copyright thief and the watch he is showing is not the one he has for sale, so "scam" seems not totally inappropriate. |

He replied to my PM promptly and apologized and said he'd remove them. Stated he has issues uploading his own pics. |

This is just INEXCUSABLE!!...on all levels. I have a photography business and the "copyright" infringement on any of my photographs would send me right to my lawyer.....oooh this guy would hate to meet me!! |

I received a message yesterday afternoon from the OP. Apologies and excuses as expected. Like many of you I feel this maneuver is a good indication of the character of the seller and would keep me far away. Thanks for your input! |

Pax! Make no mistake about it you should be Mad :@ considering this guy is using your pics to represent his watch (that is if he even HAS that watch) that's just wrong! I've seen several fellow wis use a stock pic of the watch they are selling but they disclose it in their post.. This is just plain wrong!!! |

Not long ago I sold a watch at a more than fair price, the day after the buyer rec'd it was listed for sale for a couple hundred more...with my pics. I honestly didn't care about the price: I got what I asked for it, so what the next owner does is not up to me. If he makes a profit then good for him, no hard feelings. What bugged me was the use of my pictures without asking. He did state: "pictures from previous owner", but come on! I used to frequently see my pictures used in eBay listings until I started watermarking them. That helped a bunch, but folks still copy my text, and mimic my pictures and listing template...nothing to do about that! :( Last edited on Sun Nov 20th, 2011 10:23 am by timesofplenty |
