Poaching Inn resources on ebay, featured on facebook

Postby Kurgan » October 11th, 2020, 10:16 pm

:x This group (which will not let me join, no idea why..) on Facebook features discussion of these cards which are clearly created directly from inn resources (including "original" creations). Anybody here who is a member kindly let them know these can be had for free (as opposed to purchased off of ebay, from people who printed them off of the inn from mpc)? I realize we can't stop them, but showing them that there's no reason to pay some scalper on ebay would be something worthwhile.

Mods, feel free to move this is if it's in the wrong forum (I apologize).

Anybody can print these and get high quality scans with zero effort or expertise and ship them anywhere in the world in under 2 weeks. What you shouldn't do is copy them off the Inn, as if they are yours, throw some crappy color splotches on them (ooh, so "different") and scalp them at a markup on Ebay or some other auction site. Really gross. Report "adamkellerseller" on ebay, the individual selling them.

(For those who think this guy is somehow "helping" Hero Quest fans or the community, consider that via his prices, it comes to about $1.11-$1.75 per card... I think his cheapest deal was like 90 cents per card! You could create your own on say, MPC, for 50 cents per card (that's including shipping to the US, if you were so inclined), and actually make them look GOOD (superior smooth or glossy in shrink wrap too). He didn't "earn" that profit spending 2 seconds in paintshop to swap the border color and/or add 1 filter. Just sayin'... )

List of Inn members he ripped off (from "UK Flag" expansion card page of the Inn):

sjeng (Potion cards deck, Monsters deck, Skaven Spells, Fimir Spells, Artifacts, Japanese Artifacts)
Ethica (Forest Spells)

And of course he's copying MB's stuff too, either printing the cards without borders, or with black borders instead of white.

I'm probably missing some, but it's like he just grabbed the PDFs off that page and went to town. He probably got them printed in bulk, so it cost him LESS than 50 cents a card...
