I suppose I should be flattered...

Thats right !

Your positive view is quite refreshing...I actually snickered when I read
this comment...Thanks


I auctioned off a 7140 X-wing that a deadbeat bidder
didn't pay for last week...
I see now that eBay seller "ruworthit"

eBay lot: 414295875

copied most of my lot description word for word.  He
edited out a few sentences and shipping info, but his
entire description is exact, right down to sentence
structure and wording...

I realize he didn't scam my picture, but I am still a
little steamed.  I realize that 2 people describing the
same item can have similar descriptions to cover
pertinent details, but this is a rip off...

I consider my descriptions to be prorietary, rightly so
or not.  I view this person much the same as another
student copying my term paper and getting a good
grade...

What a lazy bum...He didn't put any thought in it at
all...he just cut and pasted my description from my last
eBay auction and posted it...

I realize I have to compete in the market, but do I have
to compete against myself?

I was going to post another x-wing Saturday wi the same
description...Now I'm going to look like the one who
stole his words...errrr


What can I do?  What should I do if anything?

I would treat it as a backhanded compliment.
I don't see the harm.
I did it myself once to describe a set
I did'nt like myself. I could not find any nice
words to describe an 8860!

LOLOLOL....I have a couple sets I picked up on clearance that I didn't
want...Basically the store manager I was negotiating with said he would give
me a clearance price for items A+B if I took items Y+Z off his hands...I
can't think of much good to say about them...hmmmm...I'll have to "review"
someone elses's description.  (who knows, maybe ruworthit may have sold the
same item = )

(...) Post the set numbers here... Maybe someone will own up to liking those sets, and you can put "This set is a favorite of TOUETW WPOEUTOW (1)... bid high before they find out about this auction!"
