"Faux Donnerbox" on Ebay?

[Wesman61]

It must be flattering and irritating for Donner that someone is using His name to sell their boxes. Unless of course They have His blessing. Link. (http://cgi.ebay.com/EROTIC-FX-PEDALS-PHASE-ROYAL-CLONE-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ190192418659QQihZ009QQcategoryZ41 420QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

The same guy that we talked about here. A lot of dissapointed buyers!

[goldie-gold]

Am I the only one who does not find these pedals even the slightest bit 'Erotic'???

I also notced that the ad said 'Hand made in the USA for extreme tone!'. I'm not sure I want extreme tone thank you very much.

[Wesman61]

There's gonna come a correction. I just know it.

[Don't Post]

buyer beware!

dkHe's saying it has a faux Donnerbox finish. Unless He has Donner Rusk's permission to say that I'd think that's a problem.

That seems taboo. I thought there was bad blood there... Maybe it has been resolved.

:munch

A few things, one it's looks like an interesting pedal, two from a visual standpoint looks decent, but what is really strange is the "bid and I will set up a BuyItNow for you". So if you bid low does he set the BuyItNow price the same? Something I am curious about.....very interesting....

This is the guy's website, looks like he is building most of the BYOC product line and throwing his name on it.

I bought a Peppermint fuzz from a guy on ebay last year that was advertised as one of the original Donner box versions. It had the standard red and white Analogman graphics on it. I got a good deal on it but I had to let the guy know that it definitely was not a Donner box edition. Some people are just uninformed.

TheGrooveking(Spoken in Ben Stein voice) Gee, Those Girls look Aaaawwwwwesome.

[Lintybits]

Isn't this the same guy who sold a bunch of stuff last year and never mailed it out? I think he was using RetroFX, but I def remember the good karma studio name.

IIRC someone sued him. Maybe he's all good now, but I wouldn't trust it.

[DonneR]

Thanks for the tip ....!

Yes this is the infamous Mr. 'Bad Karma'


unbelievable.... what a skunk.:jo

[Last Nerve]

RetroFX, EroticFX..what will he come up with next?

I warn EVERYONE I can to stay away from that guy.

Donner..are you gonna get the auctions pulled? I wonder how much trouble eBay would make you go through.

[DonneR]

... well I asked him nicely to remove my name, see if he does it....

look at his feedback, looks like his still snakin people.....geez:horse

he had some parts selling thing goin too at one point.....

Off topic question: Donner, do you have "Donner Box" Trademarked? Just wondering. Might not be a bad idea if not.

I had no idea Don had pedal parties in the 1800's ;) Talk about analog :dude

Ebay will take it down with history of the name! No costly trademark lawyers with no results and no loss time!


His parties were great but the food was awful :messedup

Well DonnerBox is a real business - liscense,taxes etc....


tho this does give us an excuse to remind people that Erotic Fx = Good Karma Fx which I think would be a net loss for him ;)

[orogeny]

I'll never understand how people order from someone with feedback like that. THREE people never received their pedals. What do people think, "well. . . 95% of the people get what they paid for"? I don't get it at all.

Right I started out back then painting wagons and take out barbques ~ 'get a DonnerBox for the road and have your friends over for dinner (literally);)'

this ones legit as I did paint it for Nick as a fundraiser....

whats funny is I think its the same guy - if I remember right he bought this when it originally auctioned - wonder if hes going to try and make copies .....hmmmmmm

[-DC/AC-]

I saw a PhasaVibe somewhere in the massive "Post Pics of Your Pedalboard" thread. It looked the same, but I don't think it had the Good Karma Studio thing at the bottom.

[59Vampire]

obviously it has been changed as there is no mention of donnerbox or good karma

[DonneR]

Yey!!!!!

(except the pedals say Good Karma - hard to unscreen a box :crazy)
