jeesh.

Umm... you can get that for free online, can't you?! 

[barret77]

the funniest thing is if you google the exact title of the auction you go straight to Geofex... If this guy manages to find a buyer, that's a sign that you really can make a buck out of anything at ebay...

[Mark Hammer]

Here's what I find intriguing.  It gets sent to you as an e-mail attachment, yet there is a $2 US Post shipping charge.

[bancika]

That's for internet time

[Khas Evets]

I may buy one and then offer it on eBay for a buck less. I'll be RICH!

But he ships worldwide, isn't that great?

Oh, and check this out... "Condition: New" Come on, who wouldn't want to own a brand new digital schematic instead of the ol' second-hand ones available at geofex or GGG. Think of the hygiene for god's sake.

If you check his other items he also has a Vox Tonebender schematic for sale.  It'd almost be worth buying them to see if he's at least made his own schematic rather then steal an image from GEO or somewhere.

That's perhaps what he's counting on. Anyone who buys his *ahem*, product, is obviously quite unaware of Geo, GGG and these forums. And anyone who knows these pages, will definately not waste 20 bucks. So no steal discovered! How's that for a theory?

But here's the thing.  WE assume the world is interconnected because we have so many members here from all over.  But you will note there are only 5265 members as I write.  That's a lot for any "club", but it isn't everybody in the world with an interest in pedals  It is possible that the person is less than scrupulous, but it is also possible that a) the person doesn't know about a place like this or geofex, etc.,  and b) they believe they have something truly rare to sell.

I know it sounds nuts, but I'm serious.  I can tell you that not a month goes by that I learn about something on the net that has been there for years, and I'm thinking "Why the hell didn't I know about this before?".  We're not nearly as interconnected as we'd like to believe.  The world may be a global village these days, but there are a whole lot of people who have never really left their neighbourhood in that village.

Not only that, if you take a look at

you'll see where he got his picture. Richard Priestley may have to have a talk with him about copyright violations.

*I* may order a schematic and see if he has other legal problems.

[markm]

wonder how much $$ he'd charge to include that  photo in the e-mail attachment?!

[burnt fingers]

let's give this guy the benefit of the doubt.  these may be NOS rangemaster schems. NOS always gets a premium price.

I forsee a time when people are going to start pulling stuff from their websites.

Oh come on, he sends it out as an e-mail! If he DOES have the original schemo which he wants to sell copies of, he could at least make proper paper copies to sell. They don't have any electronic value but some vintage purists may be interested nonetheless.

But R.G. pretty much proves that the seller is quite aware of Geofex, Mark. According to RG's post, this guy seems to be taken care of. Let us know how it turns out.

I think diystompboxes.com needs some digital cheerleaders/ra ra girls/PR chicks....skinny tee's for significant others??

I like to wait for the evidence before an assumption of guilt, but it seems like the evidence arrived.

But I gotta tell ya.  It seems like every second week I see an ad in the paper for "Pentium 233, 80meg hard drive, colour monitor.  Great for the kids.  $400" (Yes, well I paid $1500 for it new!)  Some folks are so far out of the loop it's ridiculous.  So I give 'em the benefit of the doubt.

[jrem]

yeah, I surprised he only has one available.  we should bid it up to some ungodly amount with fake user names.

Find out if RG is still going to bid on it first.
