1189607 2011-03-26 08:11:00 two identicle auctions, both with the same image taken from another auction.

Seems plausible.... only just though. Seller has a reasonably good rep but his acct just may have been hacked :p

what do you think? I mean, safest option is to ignore it :D but I dont really want to :devil

1189608 2011-03-26 08:42:00 never mind, decided to let it pass. Useless question :p The Error Guy (14052)
1189609 2011-03-26 08:52:00 Haha I had someone do that to me once (ie they used one of my photos for their auction), it was quite amusing really :) forrest44 (754)
1189610 2011-03-26 10:22:00 If you look at the first two, they are the same person - two different auctions selling the same product by the looks.

Its would be easy enough to grab the picture off of an auction.

1189611 2011-03-26 20:50:00 It's dodgy because they took a photo from another auction? --Wolf-- (128)
1189612 2011-03-26 22:19:00 Are you sure that both of those sellers didn't just get the picture off Google Images or something? ryanjames.powell (13554)
1189613 2011-03-27 04:18:00 Not sure, it just seemed a bit suspicous to me, 2x auctions with a pretty decent price ($650 on a unit with a RRP of 999) with the same picture. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit The Error Guy (14052)
