codewritinfool Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Isn't this a scam again? http://www.ebay.com/itm/322670254603 I think these might have been posted up before, I seem to recall the orange storage unit behind them. I can't find the previous scam post to be sure about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codewritinfool Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 and another with the same speakers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GORGEOUS-Klipsch-Klipschorn-Speakers-Matched-Pair/322670222424 We seriously need that woodgrain fingerprint database. Maybe I should work on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 With a current bid of $3 and free shipping, I'd say that's a great deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I recognized those khorns because 1> they're beautiful, and 2> I remembered the orange garage door. I contacted Khornukopia and asked if they were his and he confirmed it. We need to watch for this ebay jerk and report these abuses and shut them down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Khornukopia and asked if they were his and he confirmed it. We need to watch for this ebay jerk and report these abuses and shut them down. Yes, the beautiful Rosewood Klipschorns pictured in the eBay ad are my K-horns, and just to be very clear, they are not for sale, and No, I am not the jerk who is running the fraudulent eBay ads, using pictures of my speakers copied from the 04/05/2010 eBay auction that I bought my speakers at. But using pictures of my speakers in the fraudulent makes it sort of personal to me. I appreciate that @codewritinfool has spotted the scam ads and messaged me, and thanks also to everyone who reported the bad ads to eBay. Reporting the scam ads as "Avoiding eBay fees" seems to be the quickest way to shut down the ad, since eBay is in business to collect fees, not chase scammers. Thanks again to everyone.

codewritinfool Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 For the record, I certainly was not calling Khornukopia a jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I know that and I consider codewritinfool to be a forum friend. Your help with this "problem" is much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, I didn't think for second you were saying that, you were referring to the jerks that stole his picture in an attempt to scam people. And @Khornukopiayou said you are taking it personal that the scammers are using the pics of your beautiful speakers, I don't blame you for taking it that way, I would be outraged too.
