LadyBarbossa Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Ahhh.. the joys of the world of idiocy! Makes Monty Python movies all the more TRUE! Scarey. Capitalism? :: Shrugs:: Democracy... doubtful... Just the fools being stupid... & not knowing what they are getting themselves into. Frankly... I'd say this is up to Disney to email the buyers to warn the buyers of the seller being a fake... let alone eBay needs to do their work. Pirating the props to make cheap replicas or fakes... reselling items you can get elsewhere.... that's just not practical piracy mates. That's idiocy in the highest degree. Besides you can get better Barbossa hats else where. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Captain_MacNamara Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 I still say he deserves to swing! COA my ass... anyone can print a "COA" on parchment paper which is readily available at every wal-mart... "Pirates Of The Caribbean Prop Sword Wood Handle" I only obtained a few of these from our prop distributor, but they are unique and from all I know about pirates it is authentic as it has a wood handle, back then pirates had to make weapons cheaply as possible until they could steal a better one, as you see we have many of these props listed, this to comes with a Letter Of Authenticity and from what our distributor says was mainly used by the pirate crew while filming. 30" In Size with wooden handle & sheath. See our complete line of movie props. Buyer to pay shipping. If'n that's an authentic Pirate sword prop, I be Long John Silver! It's clearly cut/pasted from an el-cheapo knife/sword catalog... and the wording of the listing seems pretty clear to me. from all I know about pirates Indeed... Someone blow that lubber out of the water, sez I! Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Silver Steele Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 This one isn't piratesrus, but a slick one. Advertised as "Pirates of the Seven Seas 4-Figure Set" The four figures include: Blackbeard (who mysteriously is dressed just like Barbossa) William (who mysteriously is dressed just like Will) John (who mysteriously is dressed just like Jack) Mary (who mysteriously is dressed just like Elizabeth) All four figures are standing at top a mound of gold with a chest that mysteriously looks just like the Aztec chest in POTC. This one's name is collectorsnetusa*com and has a Feedback score of 99.5% out of 7951 sales. The buy it now price is $19.95. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 However, I found this also. So is this legal? http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/4974.shtml

Black Hearted Pearl Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 That is just way too funny. If someone was that obssessed with POTC, they would go for it regardless of the quality or authenticity. What ever floats their boat, arrrrrr, I mean ship. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

Silver Steele Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Someone is selling Elizabeth's dress on eBay. Complete with undergarments, poster, shoes and mannequin. He claims he bought it at the Propstore of London. Current price is $7500.00 Looks real enough. Keira Knightley Screen Worn Pirates of the Caribbean.
LadyBarbossa Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Aye.. I'd say that's the real thing there! Looks just like the one that I saw there at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago for the Action! exhibit. Wow.. the whole kitncaboodle.. wicked! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Capt Grey Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 The PropStore of London is well-known for their movie collectibles, so it should be authentic. The price is certainly in line with what PSoL charges. (Which means it's waaaaaay out of my reach! ) Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Rumba Rue Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 I believe I know who the person selling the dress is. I've sent him an email questioning such. When I hear back I'll hopefully have clearer information. Rumba Rue
Rumba Rue Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Well my friend was just as surprised as I was. We will both be doing a further investigation into this. I really question the fact the seller still hasn't proven with anything with paperwork that the dress is the real thing and not a copy. Rumba Rue ** **
Silver Steele Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Seems to me that if it was obtained thru the Propstore of London, the individual would have a receipt of the transaction. And to scan that receipt, black out the original price, and upload it wouldn't be a big deal........ if it was real... that is.
Captain Scurvy Dog Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Aye! gots me an Authentic Tankard, Spyglass & Cask from "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl..." HaHAR!
LadyBarbossa Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Scurvy Dog.. you scurvy dog! A spyglass, eh? Oooo... would love something like that. Damnit man, wish you were closer to this direction! Would have so much fun at the re-enactments at the tavern there! :) Psst... :::looks around:: if ever you get that chance... grab something for me from the sequels. If you could? Rather partial to Barbossa. :) As long as I can use it at the re-enactments. ::Ponders:: Not sure what I could use actually.. besides a carbine & 2 or 3 Dragoon pistols.... a horse...

Charity Posted November 2, 2004 Author Posted November 2, 2004 I'd settle for the necklace or earring, or the ring ofcourse..anything that touched him, that he wore and that earring kicks ass, wow..it's so cool...
Silver Steele Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Psst... :::looks around:: if ever you get that chance... grab something for me from the sequels. If you could? Rather partial to Barbossa. Psstt... Scurvy Dog, while your at it, and if your taking orders... pack Michael Berry up and ship him over this way!
Rumba Rue Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Regarding the dress supposedly worn in POTC, apparently it is a copy. The person selling the dress cannot show any paperwork to prove anything. Also, according to my insider friend, two other copy dresses were for sale earlier this year on Ebay - one from Provo, Utah of all places. Rumba Rue ** **
