Does xwingband know this guy is using his videos?  Are you allowed to link someone else's videos for your auctions??

Thanks for informing me chowser.

This guy didn't ask me for use of the video.  I'm not terribly hurt though... he's not claiming it's my work.  As he stated it's just an example of what can be done.  The problem is an uninformed buyer may get confused, and he certainly isn't the authority.  That is NOT the same hilt.  I can tell it's a phase blade hilt not the more favorable EL hilts.

He should have just said who he bought it from.

I'll figure out an official response later today.  Does anyone know if youtube has a way of telling me where I'm getting linked to?  I don't want to disable it as I use it instead of hosting my own video, but having a list would be nice and if nothing else amuzing to see.

You can report it to ebay. It's basically stealing photos.

Yup, report him to ebay customer service. Ive done that several times and they inform the person that they violated the ebay pics/text/videos rules and take there auction down.

The guy will then have to relist using an ebay approved format.

I don't really feel it needs to be taken down.  He's obviously not a sabersmith trying to make money off my work.  He's just Joe Blow who wanted some visuals to help his auction.

I will not use ebay against others in the hobby like certain other sabersmiths.  >:(

I will likely ask him to edit the auction to clarify it is not my product, or indicative of the work you will be receiving.  I feel that's fair.

All is cool.  He added a disclaimer as I asked.  Turns out I had an unanswered message from him on youtube about some work and general info.

He's pretty close to me too, Jacksonville.  Hopefully he'll get into the hobby more as I've sent him some good links. :)

'Looks like the saber that Gil Gamesh built...(the FX-forumite, not the Mesapotamian hero ;))


..."Cyan", "Parks Phase", "no sound", converted then "sold on eBay", .... 'Matches all Gil Gamesh's criteria for his saber a couple months ago. It's a very nice saber either way. I'm surprised no one has bought it yet.


Classy approach indeed, Xwing!
