The item he is selling is an NC-44 manual that I scanned and uploaded to
BAMA.

What really annoyed me was it has my call letters on the front page. He
was too lazy or did not know how to remove it.

If you look at this guys completed auctions you will find his sale
percentage is pretty low. Considering the cost of ad placement on e-bay
I don't think this would be a very good business to get into. Maybe he
will figure this out and stop sell things that are not his.

I did look at his completed auctions and it was pretty pathetic. I saw
over 2000 completed auctions and I went through 10 pages and he sold
less than 10% of what he had listed. With an average listing fee of 40
cents per auction, and a 10 % sell ratio that's a lot of money to throw
out for listings. Not a very smart thief.

Agreed, they probably have a return percentage comparable to that of =
spam mail, with the difference they have to pay a fee to e-bay.

However a man who sells something that is freely available for everyone =
cannot be called a "thieve", he is just a poor man, who provides a =
"service" (that of downloading the file from BAMA, printing and =
advertising it over e-bay) to people accepting to pay something for =
that.

I would tend to rather be sorry with the buyers, than putting the blame =
on the sellers.
