So, I was looking at eBay and found this knife that looked strangely familiar. In fact, it looked like one of Captain Chris’s photos of a knife he recently sold-

A little searching and I found the Captains’s knife, and photos. Same knife, the guy on eBay has clearly stolen the photos.

I really hate criminals.

It was sold to somebody in Pennsylvania. I have no control over what someone does with a knife, once purchased from me..."BUT"...I do get very pissed-off when they use my photos! "THAT's" why I have a property posting on each and every shot on my website.

Looking closely at the eBay knife, they are advertising something else entirely (D2, etc), but using your photos. I suspect it is a scam.

Yes, I know. I sent the guy a very "to-the-point" request to "quit" using my pics. Instantly, the auction was ended. Just more crap in 2020!
Thanks for the heads-up. I'm sure he'll "be back".
Best, Capt. Chris

He has several others, using your photos, as well.

I like supporting legitimate knife-makers/sellers; and am glad to help uncover the frauds.

Have a great new year!

I've no idea if anything will come of it, but I have reported this asshole to Ebay's fraudulent complaint dept...
We shall see,
Capt. Chris

I bought the knife from the good Captain. I give them away, but I never sell them.
It is a nice knife and is not for sale.

dwhipple, it was clearly a person trying to defraud others. Legitimate buyers do not sell items for half what they paid only a few weeks later.

I doubt eBay does anything about it, though.

Not the first time he used Chris’ pics - see eBay item 224274752892.

eBay doesn’t give a rats ass about neither the buyer, nor the seller. As long as they get their money, is all that matters to them..
