Before I go and pay for this....

Friday, May 21, 2004 by mainsetter | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hi all

Could someone tell me where this came from?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41888&item=3678801747

Are these from other sources?

Thanks in advance

#1,

I take it that you're shocked?!

#2,

Is the seller basically selling shareware / free stuff?

I''m not sure if he is selling Windowblinds or StyleXP. either way it''s illegal I think. ButI do see he is selling Object Dock. So not cool. >

No, ObjectDock is "included." It's obvious by the weather widget that it's OD. However, the GUI for changing "GUIs" is not WindowBlinds. I find it interesting that this a'hole is charging for each GUI as an "upgrade" to his product.

So, to answer the original question, uh, no, don't buy it!!

Could be the fact that *if I'm seeing things correctly* it's not his to sell.

See: http://www.fusionlab.net/images/rhodiumx_blue_large.JPG and http://www.fusionlab.net/visual.php

Then again, maybe yourbigfun is tiger2k's alias on ebay, but why rename the skin to sell it?

If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me ...

Thank you for your replies
I thought that it was a bit odd, however their feedback suggests an overall good product (for those whom know no better).
But, hey...

"The dock is free with the purchase of the GUI. I also include over 3000 3d and photo realistic icons"

Wonder who's icons he's including..

Yes that thought sprang to mind

Actually I was looking through his feedback. He has gotten negative feedback for selling illegal copies of something. So I think he needs to cease and desist. Looks like he is selling Style XP. But still he should not be distro'ing Object Dock should he?

Yes, I spotted the Neg feedback too, albeit mutually withdrawn.
I'm an avid eBayer and been so for years - but it really narks me when I spot people selling something which maybe ain't theirs.

The time and trouble that these take to create an' all...but an easy few bucks for whomever decides to package the whole deal.

Looks like someone did something...check-it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41888&item=3678801747

All Images are gone & his feedbacks are private.

It also said the "item has ended"...And I'll bet he made up all those so-called postive comments. I especially loved the one where it said his item was better than Windowblinds or Desktopx.
