Someone shut him down!

[TheBrollachan]

Not for long I suspect, it has now been reported to eBay.

[Illusion]

Unfortunatly there have been quite a few more Kmare videos on eBay in recent months. I have reported all that I have seen.

[HeathclifftheBard]

Jeez, that's whack, Jack. These cretins we would be soon without, if a Knightmare DVD were out.

[angelordevil4585]

Arg. Brollachan said it had been reported to ebay, I reported it to ebay, and it is still up there! And someone has bid on it! Despicable.

[Malefact]

Well, that's business - if you can't get done for it and it makes money, you do it regardless of how much it stinks morally. Look at smoking.

[Illusion]

Indeed. Another thing I have seen on eBay is people selling unofficial Knightmare T-Shirts for £19.95! Have just reported one listing on currently.

[TheBrollachan]

Were there any official T-shirts?

[Illusion]

There were indeed official T-Shirts (and Sweatshirts):

T-shirts

Edition 1: White with Knightmare Castle, luminous lightning and red logo [1988-90]

Edition 2: White with Frightknight symbol and Knightmare logo in red and silver [1991-92]

Edition 3: Blood red with new Frightknight symbol and Knightmare logo in black [1992-94]

Sweatshirts

Edition 1: Black with luminous life-force symbol and red Knightmare logo [1988-90]

Edition 2: Royal blue with silver Knightmare logo [1991-92]

Edition 3: Blood red with new Frightknight symbol and Knightmare logo in black [1992-94]

Note that this does not include:

Picture of Treguard nicked from The Dragon's Lair cover with dodgy 'Knightmare' logo at the top.

[TheBrollachan]

Don't worry, I have a feel that these people may be in for a Oooh Nasty suprise.

(Appologies for bad pun)

[Kieran]

I spotted another auction offering 'rare' Knightmare items with the help of Robin.

I sent a question to the seller and have found out he is attempting to sell KM DVDs as his 'rare' item.

I hope my email back to him will be a good enough warning for him to stop.

[Fidjit]

What kind of punishment can this lead to if this doesn't cease?

[PhoenixFlame]

Hopefully something painful..... Just kidding, though it infuriates me when people do this.

[TheBrollachan]

Well being contacted by the police for selling conterfiet goods.

[Illusion]

Seems like such sellers are now keeping the auction open for shorter times e.g. one/three days in order not to be shut down by eBay in time.

[Malefact]

I'm sure eBay could shut them down within that time, but they probably just say that they can't. Meanwhile, the sale is made and they get a little richer. :S

[TheBrollachan]

I don't think that Ebay really give a damm.

[Kieran]

Ebay have shut own several user account in the past due to intervention from the show's producers, if my email to this person goes unnoticed, am sure the same thing may happen here.

Usually they delete the auction first, then repeated offenders get banned.

This chap does nto seem to realise what he's doing wrong, so I doubt it is mallicious.
