Mirage Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm sure he'll eventually confirm or deny, but I'm pretty sure I saw earlier this week that Rom took that picture from the auction for the AtariMania site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yes, Rom Hunter snatched the pic for the AM database. Nothing to fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Whilst a lot of us are in the know, this is precisely why I don't like them lifting random auction and sales pictures as well as pictures posted by collectors here (like some of mine). If I scan something for their database, that's one thing, mostly I don't mind. But when I see people questioning sales because of it, I have to step back and say "Is this the right thing to do?".

Rom Hunter Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Yep, I took that picture from the auction. Some pictures are extremely hard to find and I have missed quite a few of these while waiting too long. Seems I was too eager to add it already. I have removed it from our database for now to avoid any further confusion. When the auction is over, I will put it online again.

I can't respect the work you do ROM but I really think any pics you add should be added with full permission from the owners of said items for any of the pics you post to atarimania. It's just the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the right thing to do. If it's just an auction pic, it has been posted publically and I don't see any reason why anyone couldn't use it for reference purposes. That said, I do think it would be a good idea to wait 30 days (at the least) after any auction ends to use the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya what he said (I was more refering to people like Wiz posting pics from their collection and then having said pics show up on atarimania without concent and then said people not being so willing to show neat stuff cause they have worry of the pics of their stuff being used without permission.)

cougar302b Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 It is kind of lazy to snag someone elses photos, but I do not see what the big deal is. Gweedo is a great sellar and ships very fast. I have e-mailed back and forth with him several times and he is very reasonable. If anyone has a problem with him lifting your pics. just tell him.

Zwackery Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Gweedo is a great sellar and ships very fast. Really? I guess he learned to start packing his stuff correctly and stop blaming his wife for the lousy packaging. I personally will never buy anything from that seller again.

I personally will never buy anything from that seller again. I almost bought from that guy a few times...now I'm glad I didn't. I'm guessing he's a fan of bubble envelopes? Hopefully that stuff is not all munged up and his pics have stopped being artfully posed to hide damage. I noticed in a few of his auctions, he describes damage to certain boxes ("a hole in the back")...yet he doesn't show pics of said damage. That alone made me avoid his auctions.
