Ebay Scam???

i would suspect that it is a way of selling the sculpture without being in fear of ferrari suing him.

 

What is the difference between him selling the wall sculpture and people selling other things on Ebay Ferrari related? How would it be a violation? I would think it would be the same thing.

 

Thats not true. Have you seen all the stickers and patches for sale? How about Ferrari crew shirts for $19.99? They are all made in China (crap), and they are for sale everyday on Ebay.

I check Ebay daily, and have always seen fake products, they never get taken down from listing.

 

Right. So I guess that means my iPod (also made in China and works flawlessly) must be crap too.

 

When my ipod freezes up it is crap.

 

Then you should take it up with Apple in Cupertino.

 

Try looking at your Ferrari Official Products, hats shirtsand etc.from th Ferrari Store and see who makes them. China

 

i for one love the wall sculpture, but not enough to pay $400.00

 

I meant that the counterfeit Ferrari shirts are all made in China, and they are CRAP! The detail, material and graphics are all poor, thats why you pay $19.99 for the shirt.

The original post was about the legality of selling fake Ferrari products, and I haven't seen any actions taken by Ebay to stop the sale of them.




Heck, half of the products on Ebay are counterfeit/fake. Versace dress shirts...Armani jackets..... 2 for $199 ? Shipping from Hong Kong...they are as real as the tooth fairy.

 

Not $400, buy it now is $186.

 

Interesting, I never knew that.


Its like a constant international Ebay war........Italians vs. Chinese. LOL

 

I had a won the bid on some stickers and crap. E-bay pulled the auction.

 

I wonder if the sign is stolen from a shop and he doesn't want to draw attention to the fact that he's selling it on ebay. If you're looking for your stolen sculpture, you wouldn't think to look for a hot wheels car auction... maybe I'm just cynical this morning.

 

I agree I have bought lots of Ferrari items from ebay which were advertised that way and they are not Ferrari authorised merchandise

 

I've seen guys locally selling Ferrari jackets and shirts (fake !) out of the back of their vans.

Early last year I remeber seeing one guy parked at the gas station, selling leather jackets along with other crap. Its not stolen, its just crap and he's trying to sell it off as something that its not.

Buyer beware!

 

doesn't say what it's made of.

 

what I find funny is how the seller seems to think that his particular Hot Wheels car is the second one produced of a run of only 36 when in actuality the design is #2 of 36 designs. Therefore its not as rare as he either thinks it is or is trying to sell it as...

 

Looks like he painted an interior room yellow and has the piece on the wall.

Guys obviously single.

 

Ok, so I'm a sucker. I bought this (yes, the $190 hot wheels car...... AND the sculpture).

The sculpture is not bad actually. I can't figure out how to mount it to the wall, you must have to make your own mounting device..... like drill a hole in the back of it or something. I'm thinking I'd like to mount it raised like that one picture, and put neon/led's under it. Would look great in a garage, but I live in a condo so I'm going to put it on one of my walls somewhere (and I'm single, so I can do odd things like that).

It appears to be a plaster mold of some sort, painted black (seems like some type of enamel paint, not bad actually).

Yeah, I took a chance, would have sucked to lose $200 bucks, but I got the hotwheels AND the sculpture, anyone want a $200 hotwheels car now? All I wanted was the free gift .

The only small negative point I would make is that the seller wrapped it in plastic wrap for safe transportation, but the plastic is the clingy type of stuff, and some of the enamel paint came of, just on the ears/hair though, and it was an easy touchup, but I'd recommend the seller wrap it in styrofoam stuff before putting the plastic clingy stuff on it.
