Isn't this someones truck?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigblock73 · 02-13-2007, 11:57 PM

Saw this eBay auction, isn't this a board members truck? If so, is this their auction, or is someone just using someone elses truck?

Is this his auction, or is someone just using his truck for a picture?

Yeah, I'm guessin' someone's using his truck as a prop.
Let's just hope he gets a cut of the sale.

kenm78 · 02-14-2007, 12:03 AM

Got to love that!!!

84 400 · 02-14-2007, 12:12 AM

That is definatly his truck it is in his profile pic as well as a bunch of other shots he took and are in the "show us your short beds" post. I wonder if that is his auction I don't know him but am going to guess some one used his truck.

CLASSIC87' · 02-14-2007, 08:28 AM

Yep that would be my truck... but that's not my auction.

The seller must of picked up the picture from this site- I haven't posted any where else.

Thanks,
Anthony

grinch4om · 02-14-2007, 08:32 AM

man that is kind of decieving for the buyer don't you think? he thinks he's getting that cool truck and in reality he ain't!

TwinTurbo · 02-14-2007, 10:47 AM

someone did the same thing with one of my pics oncem I replaced it with some porn and the guy was not amused....

That's what I was going to suggest. I saw where a guy was selling a car and linking to a pic that wasn't his. The owner of the pic inserted a pic of a wrecked car. That was amusing...

How does a person go in and change that on EBAY... I don't have a clue?! I do agree with everybody's comments' above; it's pretty CHEAP/SH-TY to post a pic of anyone's truck; but in turn only sell a "new" hinge kit- due to his own personal truck got "destroyed"? WTF?

Maybe the person who did this will come across this thread (as they were here before) and read it thoroughly... he/she MAY get the hint.

You guys have my permission to do what ever with the ad...

No worries on my side... you guys are a GREAT GROUP of PEEP'S... KUDO'S to you ALL!!!

boatpuller · 02-14-2007, 11:49 AM

i don't think you can do anything to his ad.it's created on his password protected account.however you could go to ebay and try to file a complaint.they do answer your emails in a few days,if you don't have an ebay account i can do it for you.another thing i would do is on every ebay listing you can email seller to ask a question.tell him that's a copy righted show truck and it will cost him for unauthorized use of that trucks pic and you have turned the matter over to your attorney.screw with the dude's head a little bit.

not able to do that in this case. the guy took the picture and uploaded it to the auction, its not hotlinked anywhere

Slonaker · 02-14-2007, 11:12 AM

At least the seller isn't stealing bandwidth by using a photo you are paying to host on a website. That's why I usually put a little "slonaker.net" image in the corner of my photos. I started doing that after someone from another board started using an image from my site on his website. He wasn't even hosting the image. He was just stealing my bandwidth to put it on his site.

Slonaker · 02-14-2007, 11:44 AM

You can't really do anything with the photo (other than lodging a complaint with e-bay or whoever is doing the hosting of the photo) unless you are hosting the photo. N2TRUX mentioned putting up a photo of a wreck, but you can only do that if someone is using a photo that you are hosting. In that case, you substitute another photo with the same name on your website, and it shows up in the ad instead. You aren't hosting the photo, so you have no direct control over it.

I think I will go look through my logs and make sure no one is leeching from me.

Prerunner1982 · 02-14-2007, 12:56 PM

I am suprised nobody here has emailed the guy about it yet....

bigblock73 · 02-14-2007, 01:12 PM

I sent him this, lets see what he/she says if they reply

Do you think it is fair to use someone elses truck pic for an auction you are listing?

Prerunner1982 · 02-14-2007, 02:11 PM

especially when the auction makes no mention that the truck is not his.. if you are going to use someone elses image, atleast give credit..

Mickey_D · 02-14-2007, 02:25 PM

Message sent to him as follows.....

Quote:

Kind of cheesy using someone else's copyrighted picture and not even giving them credit for it. Don't be surprised when you're contacted by an attorney.

CLASSIC87' · 02-14-2007, 02:44 PM

I went out and checked his other items for sale... he has it posted a couple of times. (2) seperate listings for door pins... he can't seem to buy/sell enough of them- buy's them for $15.00 and starts the bids at $1.00

Prerunner1982 · 02-14-2007, 02:50 PM

Give him a couple days to fix it then contact ebay...

84slopwaggin · 02-14-2007, 02:56 PM

Screw that contact them "NOW".

bigblock73 · 02-14-2007, 04:06 PM

Here is his reply to me

yes, it is a very good looking truck and it is not misrepresented in the auction in any way and the pic wasn't copywrited and if it is your truck you should be proud to have someone use it as a tribute to your hard work and money spent as long as they aren't trying to sell it or misrepresent it and say it is theirs or whatever. have a good one
