Monthly Pick-Ups Ethical To Mention a Fake Item Posted

[Lokee]

Just wondering what everybody's opinion is on this subject.

If you see something in the monthly pick-ups thread that you know is "not legit" and you have proof is it OK to point that said item out ?

FOR THE RECORD I think it is if you can back it up.

you might help them get their money back, but you also might start a big pointless fight. I would rather hear from other people if they think or know its fake. but thats just my .02

This forum is here to help educate so I think it should be pointed out. If the item is pointed out bad the buyer maybe able to get a refund and learn from his mistake.

I believe it should be pointed out. I know I would want to know!

I say yes. I would want someone to tell me if they thought an item of mine was fake.

I agree with what has already been said, if you have proof it is perfectly acceptable to make mention in a polite manner.

Speaking of myself i would'nt want to be told what i had was a fake.So no,you should not call someone out on here.As you would be doing.I can almost seeing emailing them.Or sending them a "pm" but i think i am the only one that does'nt have thier turned off on here.I guess i go with what my mom told me,"if you have nothing nice to say .then don't say it".I know this forum is about educating and helping but some people might not want that help.Goes under that mind your own buisness thing.

Definitely, I would want someone to tell me if they knew something I didn't. As long as they had proof, I would hope that anyone of us is mature enough to realize that they should consider this a help, and not be angry at the person for pointing it out. I mean does anyone (maybe with the few exceptions of people who have had problems with one another) have reason to call someone's item out if they don't believe it to be true. I know I would need more than a hunch to point something out as a fake.

I would say yes, I would want to know if I bought something that was Bogus.

The sooner I know, the better, but I only speak for myself. Easy to say it could lead to an argument, or someone may offer an Opinion that may not necessarily be "fact" or True.
