Everyone -
Madstal was banned across all 3 forums last night/this morning due to his selling reps as gens on boards such as 'risti, WUS, and ebay....

This link shows that panerguy and madstal are one and the same...

http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... uy&guest=1

This is where he purchased the straps... http://www.ioffer.com/offer_transactions/show/5631916 and http://www.ioffer.com/offer_transactions/show/6366396

Then here are his ads on WUS http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=193815 and http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=191360 and on 'risti

http://www.network54.com/Forum/353393/t ... ent+Buckle


He also maintains an ebay store where he is selling reps as genuine... http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/panerguy

Any type of action out in the gen world that can be traced back to you or this board will be dealt with very harshly... let this be a lesson for everyone....

I would add that I think to most of us here, this hobby is considered "fun" and "harmless". We buy reps knowing that they are reps and pay accordingly.

Obviously, selling replica items as genuine goes FAR, FAR beyond the limits of "fun" or "harmless". Like LOS said, this will be dealt with by the forum staff in the most severe means available to us. None of our members should endorse or allow this sort of behavior from ANYONE.

If you see anything like this in the future, please do not hesitate to bring it to our attention.

Thanks.

I always wondered at how many are actually trying to get away with this sort of thing.

According to the eBay Member User ID History, it looks like he just signed up as 'panerguy' a couple days ago. So now he can start over with a new ID...Thanks for the heads up.

Information you can find out about peoples history/dealings on the internet is a lot easier than most people think, you can access just about anything if you look hard enough... 8)

Hmm, just brought the memories about that looser 'Asad' and his Pam Base shown on 'Risti as gen. Maybe they're mates, or one and the same ? :roll: :twisted:

my friend went o GZ and she met a couple of guys who actually bought a sum of rolex and they are planning to pass it as gen in their country.
They've done it for quite some time.

Amazing how people can get away with that

and the biggest problem is that the reps now are getting so good that its sometimes impossible for the average buyer to know unless its opened...

Im glad that idiot was banned.. his actions affect us all one way or another..

I thought about that too Hammy but then I thought to myself, would that draw attention to us here? This was so bad for everybody. I can only think of really bad and dark happenings for this former member but I don't want to mention them out load for fear I might act on them. I would just say Break a Leg or 2 Madstal.

Andrew,

The thanks will go to an anonymous member here who discovered, researched and reported the facts right up front. It was a slam shut case with no doubts. They can come forward to recieve credit where it is due if they chose to do so.

Thank you anyway! :D
