A new type of lowlife...kilt related

I wonder if the photo is perhaps one that I, or perhaps another XMarker have taken at a Highland Games. I know I got a few shots of your booth at the Georgetown Games this past summer.

No Glen, it's not you.
Near as I can figure out there were two people involved. They picked the kilt up off the display rack, took the bookmark cards out of the pockets and held it up to take a photo of it.
They did a poor job of photo shopping to take out the hanger.
You know it gets rather busy in the booth and I was probably dealing with a customer when it happened.

Believe it or not Glen, you and I are not the only low-lifes robert knows in Southern Ontario!

Robert, would like to post the ebay store so that we can write our protests to them? You can also file a complaint with ebay that one of there sellers is using fraudulent means to sell their products.

My plan is to allow the eBay store to remove the photo. I will give him till the morning.
I have given him the warning that I will report him to Ebay if he does not respond in a timely fashion.
If eBay won't help then I will post the guilty party.

He lives in Cambridge...might be a good place for a kilt night.....

Funny you say that. I was just last week trying to come up with an excuse to go to Cambridge kilted in my genuine black leather RKilt (with the optional built in kilt-check prevention device*). I wanted to recce the place for my kilted kayaking of the mighty Grand.

*We could discuss the removal of this same said ego draining device on a future kilt night. PS, please bring Isadora.

She's been lonesome of late...might just perk her up....warning her nose is cold!

Ya know there are at least a half a dozen black leather RKilt owners in the area all of which except one who are in the 6' 220lbs plus range. The other one almost as formidable if it wasn't for that chicke...n...spor...an oh um sorry Grant

Never mind I found it. It was the first item after I searched "leather kilt". How can one sell a leather kilt for $129US and what is nappa leather? Is it from the greater Acrylibeast? So he's located in Cambridge, half way between you and me what say we unleash McMurdo and let him have his way? Further searching also shows a UK as their Version 2. Why not drop a line to UK let them threaten lawsuits.

Nappa.....It's a kind of leather that sleeps a lot.
The UK one doesn't have the laces on it. but it is a knock off
I recognize pictures of the corsets from a shop that used to be in town, she also does trade shows, and I think they were photographed there.

That type of person should be given what is known as 'a Scarborough warning' in my native Yorkshire - Scarborough is a coastal town which was famous for hanging for a first offense.

I would suggest alerting UK and suggest putting in a joint complaint to eBay - here in Britain they have been known to take such things very seriously.

If you can get them kicked off eBay at least it cuts off one source of customers for their copies and might make them think twice about trying the same trick with your kilt again.

In our Scarborough the "Scarborough warning" is to accidently spill their latte, appologize profusily and offer to replace it with a cappocino. McMurdo is from Scarborough.

Unfortunatly I hardly think that this would get them kicked off of ebay.
