What the hell????

All of those machines are from my website and none of them are reproductions.

He also pulled the entire article from my site.

I really don't care that he pulled the article but he is listing photos my machines as reproduction? [-X

Dave:
I would jump on this listing immediately. Like you say, it is a good thing, that this person has chose to introduce
this very informative information to the CraigsList readers, but the fact that he is showing excellent Original
machines, and plastering the word REPRODUCTION on top, is very misleading, if one is to use those photo's to
compare to an actual Repro. Like the "War Eagle", with the correct handle, etc. Cudo's to whomever took the
time with the listing, put get those photos off of there, and replace with photo's of actual Reproductions, so
that the general public knows what to look for.

Very strange... I spend a lot of time in Sacramento and in fact was there just last week, but I certainly had nothing to do with this odd listing nor do I know anyone there who would have! Am I reading this right, that whoever posted this bunch of cut-and-paste and falsely labeled pictures from our host's website has blocked any attempt to respond to it, so nobody can ask WTF? #-o

to get this removed, at the top where it says "prohibited". click the little box.
that will flag it for removal.
it used to take 2 checks to get it taken down.

Hold off on doing that for now.

I am actually in an interesting email discussion with the guy who posted it.

He said he is going to correct the post and use the photos of the reproductions instead of the photos of the legitimate machines.

He said he was just trying to warn people of the fakes out there.

I will monitor the listing to see if he does what he says.

I also informed him that he was using my article and photos of my machines.

I am OK with this as long as he is really trying to warn people about the fakes out there and uses the correct photos.
