Please note that the photo used in the Cobra auction is NOT a photo of the actual item.

The photo is from my Cobra auction a couple of months ago.

It's also on the CCM Wiki page, as well.

1) I bid on the Grizzly.  Not sure why but I am going off of the safe assumption that it will be outbid.
2) They are selling it as "painted".  If you call that painted.

Is that a problem Tim? I can't see how where he got the pic matters. I have dealt with Settra in the past and he always come thru with quality stuff. I trust him.

So the good news is that I'm winning and got the wife's approval.  The bad news is there is still a full day for some jerk to swoop in and steal my prize.

Not a huge problem, but I sure prefer to see photos of the actual piece that I am buying, especially on a collectible piece.

You may know the guy, but I'd sure have doubts on bidding high on a collectible piece that the seller was too lazy to take his own photos of.

Then there is the copyright issue of a photographer (or any other artist) owning the copyright on the photo, which means that other people's photos should no be used without permission from the photographer.

Re the CCM wiki, I provided Tony the photo for the wiki and my name is credited as the photo provider.... and I'm not that hard to find on the net....

While these may be valid points to some I fail to see how calling him lazy or casting aspersions that he might be trying to mislead anyone without contacting him first is constructive in any way.

Your photo your business - But again did you try to contact him on ebay and let him know it bothered you that he used your photo before casting aspersions on his auction here?

And I searched and I searched but I never caught up with my little Grizzley until now...and it's just what I always wanted. My own little Grizzley. I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him and rub him and pet him and squeeze him and rub him. I will stroke his turret and rub his pretty armor...

Actually the tale is more convoluted than that.  Back in 99 I bought one via ebay and loanded to a rat b******d who stole it.  It has taken me this long to get another one.  It was an expensive lesson.  This one will not be leaving my possession for any reason.
