OK, I have a Canon printer up for sale on eBay. I have my pics hosted on my web server. Someone else is selling the same printer and linked to my picture for their eBay auction.

I'd love to burn his a$$, but my auction has bids on it so I can't change the pic URL. There's got to be a way for me to screw with him!!! :p

My Auction
His




**UPDATE**

Pic changed :p

Nice template on your auction :D

I would go so far as to cancel my auction (and put up some fun pics) just to screw with the guy......but thats me.

Your ends in 11 hours, his ends in 8 days. He's already got 1 bid, so wait until your expires and then change it

Yup, that is my idea of what you should do to him...

The nerve of some people is funny. Can't wait to see the update :)

But if you put fun pics up, it will still show in your auction under completed item searches and stuff wont it?

Ooooh, this should be interesting. ;)

You can take the "not so bad" way out and find a picture of a completely busted up printer and put that there...

or not. :D

Won't matter after the auction ends anyway.

I don't know if you're allowed to change the pic to your auction, but if you can why don't you change the link to your auction to a different pic and put the original pic there, and change the old link to a fvcked up pic

You can't change the links once you have bids.

I don't understand why people directly link from other people's auctions. If I'm going to use a picture from someone elses auction I just download the picture and re-upload it lol.

Great pic, but you don't want to give him MORE attention than he already has. If it were me, I'd put up a pick of something truly aweful, like that picture of the Osborne girl posted a couple of days ago.

Well, I took a quick look at his other auctions, and he's just linking to pictures wherever he can find them, including CompUSA for this Pinnacle auction.

And his my eBay page is just LAME, imho :)

Find something good to post - if you need any suggestions, I'm sure the ATOT community would be more than willing to help you in your quest to "enlighten" a bandwidth thief :)
