after reading an add on gumtree, selling a 'replica' Slash Chibson I wonder on what other players felt when reading these adds.
i know plenty of vintage 'lawsuit' stuff out there. But should a line be drawn.
for example, the seller is being upfront on its birth, but all it takes is a buyer to put it back on the market sumwhere to make a wad of cash ripping sumone off.
chibsons were made for this, they are not 'replica' they are fakes intending to rip off. As with all copies replicas etc.
selling it on even being genuine, is surely as bad. I just used this add as an example. I sent him a message to keep it as a wall hanger , or burn it.
im sure there are legals on even reselling a fake, even if your being honest about it.
it just gets me, as with anything fake,it's a rip off and should be destroyed.
where do you stand on this, just wondered on forumites views
regards!

stands back and awaits the torrent that is coming my way :-)
you know you want to :-)
Chibson-ho!
to be honest its worth it just for shits and giggles
I live in a place where for many, walking miles to get get fresh drinking water is the norm, there is no free education and healthcare is an expense few can afford.
these are the sort of issues that I consider worth getting upset about.
however, on here, people were getting quite worked up about some guy building an excellent replica. Bandying about words like 'despise' etc
i guess it depends on your perspective, but I found it to be an excellent example of '1st world problems'.
flame on!
