'Club Arnage' selling LM tickets on Ebay?
« on: April 21, 2008, 01:08:36 pm »
having a look on fleabay this morning and see a joker in Germany selling tickets under our name, obviously not us, but can we object and have the name removed?

He is not usually a seller , seems to buy various motorsport items.
Probably nothing much to be done , I don't think he is trying to cash in on the name.

Could be Werner, Hansgerd or George   ;D ;D ;D

I don't think there's much we can do - he's been around with that name since dec '02, and as Stu says, it doesn't look like he's a tout.  Maybe worth a try to ASK him politely to change it - maybe offer him FREE membership of CA if he does change   ;) ;)

I doubt he would change his id.

Maybe he could just modify his ad to state he is not connected to this web site?

......as one of the few surviving committee members, perhaps you could take on the task, needs a person with your gravitas ;D


This has got nothing to do with the Fund Raising Team, Peter - it quite clearly falls into the "To be dealt with by the Moderators" category   :police: :police:

I mailed the guy, asked him to add "I am not connected to www.clubarnage.com" to the bottom of his ad. There's nothing like free advertising... ;D

I am watching ebay "Le mans camping" cos I have a BN pass on there (as previously stated) and do not see what you are refering too, this means that 1, it is not on the normal ebay search, 2, mine is limited in some way or 4 (most likely) I'm a numpty, or it could mean that most uk peps wont see it, so less sleepless nights for us all. Although, yes, no body should use Club Arnarnge for profit unless for charity.

I am pretty sure when you list items, you can choose which countrys you ship to.

Therefore it wont be visable in all places.

It's not me either. The address is Bergisch-Gladbach. So, it isn't George either.
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Your email worked.  :D He has now put a disclaimer on his auctions: "The EBAY account clubarnage has no connection to www.clubarnage.com!"

Le Mans - the how you get there is not quite as important as being there.

And looking at the listing, this has been done!

A free ad - what a good guy!  ;D

Unrelated - I'm 23 minutes through a 25 min Blues Jam by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Buddy Guy - awesome...
