Hilarity from the Coinees forum
« on: January 22, 2010, 07:56:27 PM »
I thought you guys and gals over here might get a laugh from my post over in the coinees forum.  It's so worthy I can't stop laughing since it happened a few hours ago.  We have had strife recently with people stealing images off our coin weblog to use in their ebay listings, totally against the rules of ebay and stealing from us.  Anyway, someone hotlinked to our image.....so we changed it!

I've seen it, and laughed. Very clever!

Bandwidth thieving, selling a coin they don't have... bad, bad behaviour. At least the revenge so far is very appropriate.

Very well done people!!  :rofl: :t2:

Would you trust someone with an image like that on their listing?

I've seen that done before - with some more direct messages in the replacement photo.

I still like it ... a lot!

There is lazy and then there is LAZY!

They deserve every bit of angst that you can possibly bring, IMO.
