Hey, Leo. Your Patriot's on eBay.

Leo, does the photo in this auction look familiar?

Leo's Patriot (http://cgi.ebay.com/Estes-Patriot-Vintage-Model-Rocket_W0QQitemZ140259782376QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140259782376&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)

Ah jeezzzz..... 2 pictures in fact.

Seller has no shame :mad:

And that nose cone isn't right either. I know he says it has the exact same dimensions, blah blah blah, but the Patriot had the two-piece black nose cone - which is about as valuable as that whole kit.

AND, I doubt that engine tube is original either.

The boxed Citation Version had the 2-piece nose cone. The bagged version, had the more common one piece NC and slightly different decals too.

Not sure who it was, but some vendor used my pics of my Astron Cobra clone a few years ago. Pissed me off at first, but then I realized that I should have been flattered.
Wish I knew about screen shots back then. ;)

If someone hijacks your photos by including a LINK to the originals, you can give them a poke in the eye by swapping in an embarrassing photo under the same name.

Unfortunately not possible in this case because the seller uploaded the pictures on another server but it would have been fun :)

I'm not angry nor am I going to take drastic measures about the situation. That is something you have to sorta live with on the internet.
I'm just a little upset that I wasn't asked beforehand. A little common courtesy is all it takes IMHO.

Anyways, I made the seller an offer and we will see what response I'll get :D
