Favor for Bill

Post by Bill DeShivs »

Asking for any/all members to please take a moment and go to gunbroker.com, and view and report item number 964375137. These are Chinese counterfeit Leverlettos, and Gunbroker seems oblivious to my pleas to remove the item.
I am in contact with their legal department, but their lawyer has been sitting on this for 3 weeks. I have provided him with trademark information, and everything else he has asked for.
Thank you very much.

Done! I also asked the seller if it is real or counterfeit.

I only have a couple of counterfeits in my collection at this time.
I sent a message to the seller. He said "I don't know nuthin about no trademarks and didn't know they were fake." He said he didn't have any more of them.

I see. Not much I can do internationally- without spending more that it's worth.
Thank you.
