Iron Man on Ebay - real deal?

[ericajf]

This is currently for sale on Ebay. I haven't been involved with rpf too long, but to me that looks like a TMP suit, correct? I swear I saw the same photo used in an Ebay auction right before Halloween. Think this is legit?

the fact that the guy has no feedback and hasnt sold anything before (and has been a member 3 days) should set alarm bells ringing

Those pictures are of St. Matticus TMP Iron Man. Took me a second but I remembered. Here is his thread. When he was auctioning it ..http://www.therpf.com/f13/tmp-iron-man-armor-last-few-minutes-ebay-cheap-86020/

He lives in Ft. Collins CO. This is listed in Florida. Unless he sold it and the guy is reusing his pics. I would pm St.Matticus. Or elbows and a**holes and run away

 

[neo2daz]

the guy who won St.Matticus's armour had a feedback of over 1200.... id runa mile from this mate

Glad it is goone. People are taking seriouse advantage of our photos to promote other product or fake / scam.

If you are intrested in a TMP Armor but of newer make then look up my exclusive RPF Offer in Junk Yard.

I think that one was determined to be a masked rider suit

 

[TMP]

Hmm... Princes Leia Padme wanted to get one of our suits several times.... We should ask masked Rider about this so they are not missuseing his creations or photos just to clarify this is a approved auction.

Pretty scummy that people are taking advantage of other peoples photos for scams etc... What is the best course of action when finding fishy listings like these? I would hate for someone to get scammed if there is a way to help prevent it...

The best way, I would think, is to let eBay know about it if its an eBay listing. I mean they do look at this stuff and claim to be able to help out. Whether they do....well....:rolleyes

Why aren't the legit fabricators putting watermarks in their images when posting them for sale?

Edit: Hell why aren't we ALL putting watermarks in our images, whether they are for build/WIP progress pics or finished items for sale, that way you reduce the chances of them being used nefariously by scammers.
