cls Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Bought a 6263 case set from David over ebay. Great fast transaction, and he was super helpful. I just received an email from ebay today that he has been suspended. Maybe they are cracking down on reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 This is interesting. In recent weeks, I've noticed as many as a dozen 6263 case sets concurrentlyh listed on eBay...For the past several days, there've been 0. It could be a new day for rep parts on eBay.

slay Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 GAF has the right to cancel any auction they want. They canceled one of my auctions a while ago and sent me threatening letters, even though there was no evidence in my auction text, that the submariner dial I was selling was not a singer dial.

slay Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 my guess is all the auctions were pulled, because it was keyword spamming. the cases were NOT rolex cases, and because of that, you are not allowed to put the word ROLEX in the title!

Hmm ... so you were selling a replica as genuine or an actual genuine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be rude, I dont think that is any of your business, but since you are so nosy, it was a genuine dial I bought for my Sub, but since I started a different project (next to various other project that are unfinished yet) which was already money-consuming enough, I tried to sell it and then sold it to someone who contacted me after my auction was pulled (for a little profit actually) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 my guess is, rolex doesnt want anyone to sell spare parts, be they genuine or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 You will see things like this more often. Tiffany & CO. is currently trying to sue ebay for allowing the sale of rep. Tiffany pieces. I can't remember the exact figures but T&C found something like 120 out of 180 items being sold with their name on them were fake. Of course ebay is taking the stand that they have no obligation to verify the authenticity of any item sold, as they are only a medium to connect the buyer and seller.....much like the original Napster defense. I do see there logic as ebay themselves do not gaurentee anything being sold there, if you think about it T&C might as well sue the state of NY for all the sidewalk pedaled knock offs.

Guest avitt Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 It's interesting that they're still allowing the replica Daytona dials. These seem to exhibit the most egregious disregard for the Rolex trademark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 its not ebay who pulls the auctions, its GAF, GAF has their own account and they are capable of pulling EVERY auction they want, without any reason this is also the reason, why I doubt anyone can sue eBay, because eBay gives those accounts away to the trademark owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 its not ebay who pulls the auctions, its GAF, GAF has their own account and they are capable of pulling EVERY auction they want, without any reason This can't be true. If it is, it seems to me that GAF ought to be careful of whh auctions they pull. I an't imagine that hey have a right to pull an auction of someone selling an autentic rolex part. If they think they do I hope they pull the auction of someone with pockets deep enough and a temper bad enough to fight it. Can you imagine what would happen if a court upheld the right of companies to use their brand name copyright to prevent the sale of used parts? Think about it: cars, computers, anything. It would be chaos. Slay, do you have a copy of the pics and auction test you used? I'd love to see what GAF thinks gives them the right to stop the sale of a genuine Rolex part.

You read the terms when you joined Ebay? I have no doubt it is covered somewhere in there... along with everything else such as alien attacks in the catch-all.

Craytonic Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Then don't bring it up in a public forum. Its slay, not some noob - I think he is just a little offended; he has been around forever and would never pull such a scam (at least I don't think he would).

I do see there logic as ebay themselves do not gaurentee anything being sold there. Yeah, I think the standard under the DMCA and other related IP laws in the US is that the middleman website traffics substantially in non-infringing transactions and is diligent to remove any potentially infringing materials, not that fake stuff is available at all. Under that fairly loose standard, prosecuting ebay is tough unless it blows off requests to remove auctions blatantly of counterfeit goods.

slay Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Then don't bring it up in a public forum. Do you think I would have argued with GAF&eBay about my auction getting pulled if I was selling a fake? I just didnt like your assuming tone that implied that I was selling a fake!

No, I would not, because it sucks getting a fake item, if you were assured that the item was genuine (see my memory stick desaster). Everytime I sold stuff that was aftermarket, I told ppl so.
