RRRRRRRRRUMBLED!

Nice work stealing images there, fella! Why would I pay $25 for the “Slim Line Gold” when I can get it elsewhere for less than a quarter of the price? SCAAAAAM.

EDIT: As per speedt’s post here, it seems I may have been mistaken in this assertion. However, I do have some notes of advice.

1. Always show examples of your work. If you don’t have a prototype of the product you are trying to sell, show something else you have made. This achieves two things: it demonstrates that you can actually do what you claim; and it allows people to assess whether your work is something that appeals to their tastes. This creator claims to have been turning wood for 10 years; surely he has something he can show.

2. If you are going to use someone else’s images, disclose it fully and explain why. If this creator had explained that these were images of the kits he would be using to assemble his pens and not the finished product, the project would look a lot less dodgy.

Now, the possibility exists that this particular creator could still be lying. Anyone can get on the internet and claim to be able to do something. However, the fact that he’s only asking for a relatively small amount of money lessens that possibility.

It’s still not a project I personally would back; I want to know, at least, that he is proficient at what he does; but odds are that this project is not, after all, a scam, and I apologise.
