ebayer rip off

Well thats at a a fair point, so there is no harm in asking where it's from or even if they have permission from the pep artist? It just seems rude to ask but I guess as a potential buyer I guess your well within your rights to do so. Thanks for the reply on that one :)

If you look at the instances of the example you've given above (and look at one of the helmet peps that have then been used to be completely finished, molded, cast, and sold), in the majority of those sales threads, permission has been gotten (whether this was outright stated in the FS thread or not). When a finished helmet cast run shows up in the JY, I know I'm not the only one that wants to know the origin before I consider purchasing.

I just counted his sales from just the last 2 weeks and he has sold £172($287) worth of files. Postage on each is around £0.60, envelope £0.10, CD £0.05 and ebay/pp fees ~£0.75 which totals £1.50. All of which is covered by his postage charge leaving him with £6.50.
