Clear Out '02 Tails ?

Did someone actually figure out how to do this. I know this is the photochopped pic from someone's sig.

An E-Book you have got to be kidding me. I'll bet it has only one page that reads "It can't be done, thanks for the donations sucker"

Really, how much can he make by selling that? He should make himself a good man by giving the instructions to us on .org. Reputation worth more than a few bucks..... come on dude

Man, that's pretty lame. If Emax can't do it, I bet it can't be done, but to make coin off the idea and it still not be possible is pretty crappy. Has anyone called this guys bluff? Hell, I'd spend 4 bones if there really was a solution, but if not I'd just want to lay the beat down on the guy lying to everyone.

This will be the eBook:
Buy Nissan North America factory. Order engineers to design clear tails. Order manufacturing to produce them.

Or it would probably say something like "Use Photoshop like the owner of this car, which by the way i stole from a .Org member, did"

It would be stolen if it wasn't his car. Has anyone had the thought that maybe this is his car?

Capmaxima couldn't have put this auction up himself. He already made it publicly known that the photo with the clear tails was photoshopped.

I love that it says you can get the ebook emailed to you, or pay $5 for him to slap it in an envelope w/ a .37 stamp on it. . .

Has anyone e-mailed this guy to ask him about this picture? He clearly stole it. The car has a California plate on it and he is from New York. Hmmm... this guy needs a good whoopin'.

I sent him a message, but showed genuince concern as to not arouse suspicion. He could be reading this for all we know. I'm intrigued as to the possibility, but yes, that pic is straight ripped, he didn't even do his own pshopping...

From: OrangeUBlit@aol.com

"hello joe. thats my maxima in the picture and i dont have photoshop skils. I kept it simple and to the point. but thanks "

I just got another email from him:

"Listen,

I'm sorry Joe. Its the only picture I could use for the time being. I'm not trying to copy anyone or scam people. I ordered a digital camera for this ebook project and it will be at my house tonight. I will have a brand new photo up by then. I will also contact the owner and apologize for using the picture. I didn't mean to copyright anyway, it was fast and for the time being. I didn't think anyone would bid on it until I got my pictures because it looks bootleg without anything. but still that's not a good enough reason for using someone else's picture. I'm very sorry.

Eddie
mellowmood-net"

Doesnt sound consistant from the first email he sent me! I guess he knows he is caught!

that still doesn't explain whats in his ebook. The owner of the max should demand a free copy.

I've tried to shut down a guy that was selling lifted HIDs by emailing someone on ebay and they responded with an obvious form letter. Ebay is in a conflict of interest because they get their cut from these bogus sales. The lights had their mounting tabs cut and were scratched and couldn't be anything but stolen. The guy was so crass that he even posted pictures of these lights saying they were "damaged in an accident but still worked." What a f*ckhead. The bastard still got nearly $400 bucks for these.

At least the one bidder is a non paying loser or a guy with a shaft account for fun. -3 feedback, that's funny. I'd love to see his new picture when his "camera" comes in...

Wow, I just looked, he's running 5! auctions for the same thing now, all bid on by the same -3 feedback guy. Someone's trying to stop him, that's for sure. I'm curious as to what's up with this proposed idea, fake or not.

It's probably a bogus bid. No one in their right mind would actually pay for this kind of crappola.

The guy with -3 feedback bid on 3 of them and then posted good feedback for the guy. Why would anyone bid on 3 anyway, it's the same thing! That's definitely bogus all the way

This is the way it works on ebay: There may be one seller with 20 aliases. These alias accounts provide "feedback" to the seller. Then, in order to raise the price of anything being sold, the seller has each of the alias accounts bid against each other, hoping to get a real buyers interest. Once a real buyer is identified, the seller will back off the fake bids and let the sucker buy whatever excrement is being sold.
