Christine Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Go get him Bess! Get Disney after his arse! LOL!
Iron Bess Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 This just keeps getting better and better... The guy answeres my email with my eBay account name on it. I had included my Disney email address and asked him to contact us. He sends me a memo that is 80% mis spelled, tells me that he's already spoken to *insert my real name* over at disney and has worked with her on may occations. They know Jerry personaly. Everything is fine. I wanna be there when the attorney calls. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Christine Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Ah, to be a fly on the wall! Would fly to see his face as he's freaking out-LOL!
Ace of Harbor Bay Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 This just keeps getting better and better....... I wanna be there when the attorney calls. Aye Bess! I envy you as this is sounding mighty fun! Pirates turning in pirates!!! ARRRR!! Get 'im good! www.pirate4hire.com Pirates of Harbor Bay
LadyBarbossa Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Capt' Jack Sparrow emailed the seller got a reply back that the hat porp # was chalked in, which told Jack that it wasn't the real prop. :::Sits down with popcorn & soda::: Oooooh, this is such a dramatic part! I'm going to love this! You know.. the difference between a good pirate & a bad one... the bad one is caught! This guy is SO busted like a captured pirate at execution dock! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Iron Bess Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Yeah.... life is good today. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Redd Oktober Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I'd actually bid fer the crap that Disney scared out of him, just ter have a disgusting piratical trophy. OOP! What a minute! Why buy it, when I can make a FAKE one myself and sell it on eBay! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
Iron Bess Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 No one ought to bid for anything on eBay from POTC without checking to see if its the real thing first. Never shy off from asking me mates. I'll find out for you. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Redd Oktober Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Aye.... Never Mess With Iron Bess and her Diligent Pub Pyrates! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
Black Syren Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I make a good FBI agent if ye need one..ROFL..actually always wanted to profile for them.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
LadyBarbossa Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 ROTFLMAO!!! ::wipes tears away:: Ooooh, Redd! So right... SOOOO right! Again, have fun, Bess! I still thing sending some of us pirates up to this guy would be fun! Oooooh, what we could do with him... Kidnap him... blindfold him... take him to the Black Pearl & have him walk the plank over some shark infested waters near a god forsaken spit of land smaller than Bess's isle... & with NO pistol! :) Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Capt Grey Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 We may be pirates....but we be good people. This joker be askin' fer trouble. Just FYI Bess, ye (and the lawyers) can always contact e-Bay directly and ask that he be closed. They be very cooperative in that respect. I have me a friend who is an artist and I help keeps a weather eye out fer folks what steal and sell her work on e-Bay. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Silver Steele Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Yep, it's still on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW Whoever this is has about 30 items on eBay as advertised as props from the movie. Here's the sellers entire list. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...&sort=3&rows=50
Captain Morgana Bloodheart Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Does this seller think it wise to cross blades with Iron Bess? His "POTC" auctions are still online! I think this one takes the cake. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=2263719335 We have a couple of these just came in. This is the axe at the beginning of the movie when teh Pirates were attacking Port Royal and Wil Turner threw it at one of teh Pirates, it was also the same axe used when he embedded it into the table thru the maps. It is modeled after a British Heavy Infantry Axe and is made of hardwood handle and forged steel. It is heavy and a great addition to your collection. It comes with a COA with prop ID # on parchment paper. Buyer to pay shipping. As much fun as it would be to email this scurvy lout, he could decide to get pissy and turn ye in for harrassing emails! I wouldn't want fine, upstanding Ebayers with excellent ratings to made to walk the plank!
Captain Morgana Bloodheart Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 WOOOPS SILVER STEELE! Looks like we had the exact same idea at the same time! I edited mine as ye got to it a wee bit befer I did
Captain Morgana Bloodheart Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Just for kicks I decided to do a little POTC Prop comparsion..AHEM!! Here is his "POTC" Drum alledgedly used in the Gallows scene: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=2263062874 Here is the screen cap I just made, there are only two quick closeups of the drums being used in this scene, I think the main parts of the drums here are blue.
Silver Steele Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 WOOOPS SILVER STEELE!Looks like we had the exact same idea at the same time! I edited mine as ye got to it a wee bit befer I did Great minds think alike! I just can't believe this seller has the gall to be trying to pass this stuff off. Some of that stuff is EXPENSIVE. Get em Bess... get em good!
Captain Morgana Bloodheart Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 More prop comparison while I'm at it By the way this seller added this sentence to the "Barbossa Hat" auction - which is now unavailable to buy "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale"
LadyBarbossa Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Those 2 items - the drum & the tomahawk - are easy enough to get if you kow where to look for one. That type of tomahawk you can get from any where like Jas Townsend, Gg. Gedney Godwin, or any sutler at any re-enactment! The drum, they are a bit pricy but regt I know of get those IF they have a drummer. I've seen that with the British in the NWTA. :: shakes head:: This guy is REALLY pushing it... cause most of this stuff if not for resale in that type of way. Re-enactors are REALLY picky about what they get their hands upon cause of authenticity. Bess... give this bloody bastard a nasty dose of medicine! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Charity Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 ROTFLMAO, i love this Good for you Bess, my god what a sucker, he's sucked it up nicely I'll make shure if i ever want to buy something i'll ask you first :) Do keeps us up to date on this
Iron Bess Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 He's running ahead of the sharks..... he's changed most of his descriptions and stopped short of saying used in the film. Think he's trying to use wording to save his hieny. More to come!! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Master Sully Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Let's tie" piratesrus" to his products, and throw him to the sharks! "Remember, on a pirate ship, in pirate waters, in a pirate world, ask no questions. Believe only what you see. No, believe half of what you see."... Burt Lancaster DUM SPIRO SPERO... WHILE I BREATH, I HOPE
Charity Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 ROTFLMAO...watch out matey here be the pirate crew ready to get ya I love this :)
Mad Grace Oakum Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Someone I know from another board bought one of the sabers he had for sale. Pirates Of The Caribbean Prop Saber With COA! I would hate to think she got ripped off. Is it real Iron Bess? If not, what can she do to get her money back? What I don't get is why this guy has 100% feedback...
Silver Steele Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Someone I know from another board bought one of the sabers he had for sale.Pirates Of The Caribbean Prop Saber With COA! I would hate to think she got ripped off. Is it real Iron Bess? If not, what can she do to get her money back? What I don't get is why this guy has 100% feedback... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but.... I knew that picture looked familiar. You can buy that same saber on www.deadmentellnotales.com for $19.95. The seller on eBay is using the same pictures as used on the deadmentellnotales site. Here's the same saber: http://www.deadmentellnotales.com/page/DM/...M/PROD/S7/Saber I would tell your friend to start by giving the seller negative feedback, and reporting him to Ebay using the link from the same, and the link from the DMTNT site. She didn't pay much above what the other site sells it for, $5.00, but still, she was under the assumption that it was a genuine piece from the movie. It is false and misleading advertising and infringement on Disney's rights. And a piece of advice, if any sale says "buy it now", chances are there are more copies of the same item and the item is not unique. The Barbossa hat is gone, but he still has over 30 other items for sale as being listed as "Pirates of the Caribbean Props". He also has added to the drum as being "Pirates of the Caribbean Prop British Drum *REAL*".
