What an arse!

Can you believe somebody trying to sell the RNLI's Sea Safety Guide, which they give out free, on ebay? Nothing illegal, I suppose, but you can bet he/she doesn't give them any of his proceeds!! If I knew how fill his inbox with junk mail and spam, I would.

 

[Emjaytoo]

Does he give out his e-mail address? If so, register him up for some free porno sites. It won't take long for the viagra and enlargement e-mails to come flooding in.

You mean this one...?

Sea Safety Guide

Suggest we ask him lots of pertinent questions, like why he is doing it?

Why not report him/them to ebay.... say the stuff seems copyrighted or something.

May not achieve anything, but at least you have tried. perhaps also report to RNLI?

 

[Aardee]

Maybe I'm missing something here - What harm is he doing??.

PS: No, it's not me...

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

He's getting free safety publications produced by a charity, at their expense and hence the expense of donators who give freely to help save lives, and then selling them to make money....

Isn't that just a teensy bit immoral?

 

[Aardee]

I agree it's a bit cheeky, but hardly a crime warranting the level of indignation, surely.

have to disagree. decent people donated hard earned cash to pay for the books .This lowlife is profiteering from others generosity.He might just as well nick the plastic lifeboat you put donations in off the bar in his local .

ooer, he lives a spit from me,

not me though, honest

Nip round and bite him on the bum then! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

On one level I agree that the free market should prevail - there's loads of stuff on Ebay that is sold for more than you could buy it elsewhere - cheap boaty stuff from Lidl and much more under every category. Just because it's a charity that produced it doesn't change anything, or the value of the information to the recepient. It just demonstrates how many mugs there are.

I've worked out that your signature says "dogwatch".
Now I just need to work out why you've done it. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[sarabande]

If you read it upside down, it says something like YOYOMLOP. Why am I reading sigs inverted , arrrrgh!

 

[Oldhand]

Perhaps I should charge the RNLI for using a picture of my last boat in the Guide if it is sold for profit?
