Posting eBay photos ?

[Hauptmann]

Hello,

Ed's postings on this site are in no way responsable for the high prices that photos reach on eBay... if Ed's wouldn't post links to running auctions Sudek13 or any other buyers would find them anyway...

Are you really thinking that if Ed would stop posting you'd get photos cheapper? :-)

dream on :-)

[Revi16]

Keep posting ED! Don't listen to the fools with small bank accounts. It isn't your fault.

Regards,
Mike

Hi All,

I am the "jerk"and "#@$@%#s" who started all this.

I am very disappointed that many of you didn't bother to take a look at my posting at the LEMB

http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...showtopic=2617

beore commenting.

Especially Paul (pstrany) disappointed me. He must know better.

I didn't complain about the postings of Ed West. In fact I really appreciate his efforts !

I only politedly asked the members of the LEMB not to post links and pictures of active auctions on Ebay.de of rare German Beuteflugzeuge. But as stated in my latest posting at the LEMB I realise that what I asked for is impossible.

So let's end this discussion and Ed, please continue your efforts.

Kind Regards,
Jan

Jan,

This is what you posted:
"If you come across auctions on Ebay with rare types of Beutelugzeuge and you don't intend to buy the photo yourself, please don't post the photo on this board and give a link to the auction untill the auction is over."

Your request is unreasonable, because the internet is a democratic vehicle, and people are free to post whatever they wish. If you don't win a photo, then in basic Englilsh parlance, 'Tough shit'. Remember, sudek 13 only ever pays 1 Euro more than the next-highest bidder, and I know as much as anybody, as I have lost out many times. Get over it!

This board is visited by many people and drawing attention to certain auctions will rise prices to the sky.

I must agree with everyone on the board and beseech Ed to keep on posting.

If it wasn't for Ed West, the chances of viewing these rare LW/Allied photos for the average enthusiast would be nil.
Even if some collector decides to let them be published in a book, the long lag time for publication means that I'll be collecting Social Security by then.

Don't stop,don't stop, ad infinitum...

Hi John,

I believe I remember you from the old AAW board. Weren't you the one with the guitars ?

You completely missed my point. I already stated that what I asked for is impossible and I want to end this discussion.

Everybody knows by now that Sudek13, one of the richest men on the earth, has the capacity to buy any photo he wants.

But that is what it is all about. Just bring a certain photo to the attention of Sudek13 and all of his helpers (associates/staff) and none of us will be able to purchase this photo and no one will see this photo again in the near future.

As I understand from a close friend of Sudek13 he is building up a database of photo's of WW2 related photo's (not only planes) for future publications. But will we be seeing them published in our lifetime ??

So showing the previews of Ebay auctions will most likely be the only way to view these photo's for a long time.

As said, please Ed, keep posting.

Kind Regards,
Jan

Simply - thank you, Ed.

Keep them coming as long as you find it worth your effort and time

Most Appreciative,

Thank you everyone. I will continue. I just like to know what everyone thinks. Thank you for your kind words.



Best regards,
Ed West

Ed,

You have my vote. Keep posting and who cares what others think. You've been at this for a long time and it certainly benefits us all and I think, at least I do, "we" appreciate your time and effort in collecting this data for our enjoyment.

Carry on...
