Every time we see one of these we should post the individuals name on this website.

I wonder how many of these are stolen, being sold by ex- and soon to be ex-es, people who inherited them, etc.?
Once you are out of the Army, other than your honor and integrity, what would keep you from selling it?

You can respond (send e-mail) to the seller on ebay. I did, telling the fucktard what he was doing.
His response? "Hey asshole, I'm the pawn shop owner. Tell the guy who sold it to me"
My response? "Are you going to do the right thing, now that you know, and take it down?"
No answer.
That's like saying "Hey, I'm just the pawn shop owner. Not my fault it was stolen."
I'd recommend folks send that asshat an e-mail, also.

From the pawn store owner:
"I'm in business to make money not make you happy. The person who sold me this actually was just in my store. he said he has two because they issue you one and your allowed to purchase one other so he sold me one. I showed him your message and he said that's bullshit that he can sell it."
My response:
'You can certainly do what you like and have no obligation to make me, or anyone else, happy. But, just as with anything else in life, there is cause and effect. The SF community is large and extensive. Just as you can do as you please, I can also. I am passing this info along to those in my community to let them know just what you think of this whole thing.
Just curious. When you find out something is stolen do you still sell it also, since you are "in this to make money"?
As for the idiot, who sold it to you? He is wrong and he knows it and he will end up finding this out himself.
The free market is a great thing, isn't it?"
Now more than ever, do I think this stuff, names and business that enable, ought to go in the hall of shame.

Hell yeah, they should be the tool who sold it specially the Fucktards who get booted and then sell it and the sellers once they have been notified.

Food for thought.... I would support that with established ROE on contact and notification.
