Well, I have had my plans copied and resold. Found one being sold on eBay last year. In round figures, from a thousand miles away. I can yell and send e:mails, but other than that nothing further happens. It would cost me $1-2000 to sue over a $20 profit the seller made. In shipping a note off to the folks at eBay, unless there is criminal case pending, they are just too busy with other problem sellers. This is just another system to make a hot dollar off another in the hobby field.

Elsewhere here at RCU, there was a complaint about a kit manufacturer copying the work of another. It is just another system to make a dollar off of someone else.

Now how many of you think that a street vendor is selling genuine Rollex wristwatches for under $100? You all ought to know by now, that a "good deal" is not always possible on a fake.



KERRYDEL:

It was my understanding that Jerry Bates had outside sources do the cutting for him. All other firms now selling parts from his plans are not in conformance to his wishes anymore.
