Well it looks like it is now readily available on ebay (along with a few
other models from the same seller that look like they may have been lifted
from lego factory)

Hold on a minute. Why shouldn’t it be “readily available on ebay”?
I have now looked at that eBay listing and nowhere does the seller claim to
have designed or created the model. In fact he talks about selling sets from
a collection. Would you have a problem with him selling any other set made by
LEGO?
There is a difference between claiming credit for the design and simply being
a reseller taking advantage of morons who cannot find current production sets
for themselves.

Actually, he’s selling it pretty much at cost. The B-39-8E model without the
rear truck (space left for the motor) sells at 75,63$US on LEGO factory right
now. Add to that a motor at 24,99$US and you get 100,62$US compared to his
BUY-IT-NOW price of 99,99$US. Add in his instructions CD as well. I haven’t
checked his shipping and handling charges (these sometimes make a BIG difference
on EBAY) but if they’re reasonable, he isn’t overcharging on this one.
As co-creator of this model (I have to give a lot of credit to Paul S.
D’Urbano’s modifications that really make it shine) I feel its pretty flattering
that someone thinks highly enough of it to offer it for sale on EBAY.
