Well, I contacted the seller, and he apologized. He admitted that he had been inspired by my model and built a similar car. Then, in order to get rid of some white parts and Ferrari wheels, he built another copy to sell. He mentioned that this was a one-time-only deal, and that he hadn't expected his actions to upset anyone. I had hoped he would close the auction or compensate me in some way for using my design, but it looks like an apology is all I can hope for. Hopefully in the future, he will be more careful about giving credit where credit is due. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu www.bldesign.org

Did the apology suffice? I suppose you could ask for some of the money (...) (22 years ago, 31-Dec-02, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.de)
