thealphabeta Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Is it legal to sell a rep on in the UK? I sold one on ebay stupidly...i never said it was real, i stated it had a swiss movement and please ask questions before bidding. I know this wasnt a good idea but needed quick cash! Now he wants a full refund which i suppose i could issue if he thought it was real. It seems fair. I just wonder where i stand here....not a leg to stand on?

KB Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Not a leg at all, give him his money back quickly and quitely before anyone else finds out because you could find yourself in major trouble. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) it is 100% illegal to sell a rep in ebay ! i guess your country would have the same policy .. good luck .. & if it was a r@lex & the buyer reports you to ebay , than most likely youll be receiving a nasty little letter from the infamous r@lex lawyers sueing you for 1 million $$$$$$$$$$$ the letter was posted in this forum a while back .. just give him his $$$ back & walkaway from ebay .. good luck .

retep Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Like Ken said! And never ever sell a replica on e-bay. You will get yourself noticed by people who you really don`t want to get noticed by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutima Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 and selling reps anywhere is illegal... Except here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Except here. Nope, it's still illegal. Less stupid, but still illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanerich Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Except here. No, here too. Just not so many people interested in prosecution. Frankly, I am always amazed that this site hasn't been targeted by the rep police more than it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Frankly, I am always amazed that this site hasn't been targeted by the rep police more than it has. That's because the site is in Europe and doesn't make any direct money off dealing Reps. The trick to prosecution is to follow the money, and in this case, it's very difficult.

audemarsdan Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Trafficking in counterfeit goods is illegal anywhere. People here just push that little fact out of the way when they buy or sell. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's somewhat surprising. That's why Napster was shut down in the US -- regardless of profit for itself, the court ruled that it primarily promoted illegal activities and thus it was fair to order it shut down.

dabom Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 How does one sell on this site? I have a dress Patek Chronograph if anyone wants to PM me about it ;-) It's really nice, just not my style. See Eddie Lee's website for pics - I got it from him.

If you go to the sales section, and read the pinned articles, you will see that RWG supporters are entitled to offer here. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
