It concerns me that more and more of these situations are popping up on this forum. Perhaps the powers-at-be should think about closing the forum and letting in new members only if they are vouched for by a current member? Then, if shit goes down, the OP AND the person who vouched for them are bounced out. Just a thought...
I don't think it's disrespectful nor do I feel it's necessary explaining the situation to everyone on the forum, people have already voiced there opinions so I've decided to leave it at that, I have fully explained my side of the story as best I can but obviously it doesn't look good. I have been pming certain people back and fourth currently waiting for a response.Wether or not OP is working it out with admin, it's still disrespect to the forum to not post a reply explaining at least a brief explanation. Like other have said, no news means guilty in most people's eyes

I do have a genuine explanation as to why these photographs are online and where they could of been found.

Let's hear the genuine explanation then!! If it is indeed genuine then why not throw it out there and be honest? You're not helping your case with the above comment and in my opinion being extremely disrespectful to the forum by saying "I don't have to explain anything"...
You are right Mike, you dont have to tell us anything.
But bear in mind, we dont have to trust you either.
2-way street there.
It's good for the mods to quickly put a HOLD on these sales/members when things like this happen, and I'm glad they investigate thoroughly. As for those of us sitting at home with the popcorn, we should reserve judgement whilst discussing the possibilities and likelihoods. This forum is the only way to really enjoy this hobby, and it would suck to be falsely accused and banned without some sort of due process. I love the mods' attitude and method for dealing with these problems, but sometimes the other casual observers that chime in are too quick to suggest a ban.
Now as to this specific thread... why would OP list it for sale on fleabay for 500.00 and then here for 175.00? If he was a real scammer, wouldn't he be listing this on fleabay only, trying to get the most he can? Now, not all scammers are smart, but this dual-listing thing at least makes me think there may be something else going on.
