Tell them that if they do not stop harassing you then you will have your attorney contact them. | ||

they are saying that owning and trying to sell it is an infringement on the trademark in my auction i stated " there are no papers with this watch so no guarantees" Accordingly, we have been instructed to demand that you immediately cease any and all further distribution and sale of merchandise bearing marks substantially indistinguishable or identical to the Rolex Trademarks, and ask that you voluntarily provide us with the following: 1. all counterfeit Rolex watches and any merchandise bearing any 2. a representation that any merchandise bearing marks 3. the identity of your supplier for the counterfeit Rolex watches; 4. the number of counterfeit Rolex watches you purchased, the 5. within 10 days of receipt of this letter you will provide us We strongly urge you not to contact the supplier of the counterfeit merchandise Unless our office receives the requested confirmation letter, we may commence ------------------ "I used to be a diabetic 'till i kicked it."

They are trying to scare you. Tell them that if they bother you again you will sue them for harassment. How the Hell to they know 100% that the watch is not real? Tell them to eat shit and die! Also contact an attorney for a consultation. | ||

It's probably some guy trying to get some free shit. E-bay has allowed this since they have been up and running. I bought a piece of shit fake Mavado for $60 about two years ago. If not, then tell them you sold it. Then politely tell them to get bent and go about your business. ------------------ | ||

They have to prove it was a counterfiet if they ever tried to bring it to court. Threaten them with a counter suit if you can and/or want. Good luck. ------------------ | ||

well I have been in a little legal lettering seesaw for the past few months...What I would recomend is that you right them back stating you were given the watch as a gift and that that to your knowledge it is not a counterfit. Also Correct them in saying because you are not aware that it is fake that numbers 1-4 are wrong and not truthful to your knowledge. that way you are fulfilling number 5 and ask them to resume your sale because you are selling the watch "As is" there is nothing false about selling a watch as for selling the watch again. try this: Do not claim it is a rolex unless you can prove it. Set up another Auction and Selling a "Watch" and describe it. Do not mention the name "Rolex" and make sure you state "As is" that way even if the pic looks like a Rolex because you are selling it "as is" and are not claiming it to be a rolex you don't technically seem to be selling a Rolex If they tell you your misrepresenting a picture of a rolex watch or misusing the rolex trademark, you can say that you are using a pic of the watch do not think it is a rolex and you do not believe it resembles their trademark and once again you are selling a "Watch" "as is" 1 more thing does the watch say Rolex? | ||

I'm with the others, tell them to shove it, and do what you want with the watch. One thing that I noticed on Ebay... A guy was selling the Star Wars trilogy, and stated that the videos were signed "enter actor name here, here, and here." He then proceeded to show pictures of the videos with the actors names signed on them. This was/is legal because he did not say they were signed by those certain people. Just find it odd, you really have to read the fine print even on poor little auctions.

eBay won't do shit. I used to sell tons of copies of MS Office and they always threatened but never did anything besides delete the listing. I always kept up on who was winning though and after it was deleted we would complete the transaction. eBay (the company) is nothing but idiots. |
