group order for a universal gc card chassis

Zang, have you heard sometimes about electrochemical cell ?

And to you Good late afternoon....

nice building,I would like 3 units

Hello,

I would like 2 of them.

Thanks,
KT

What material Do You use for this case ?

Well, I guess I can only share now the feeling of Junji Kimura when I ripped off his design and made my first amp with a similar appearance as his Gaincard:

However, I was not determined enough to use Group Buy cover for making money on someone elses idea. Group Buys are usually organized to save mone on a single unit, I see you alredy have one, so all subsequent production can be only interpreted as "for profit" venueu. If you want to market that chassis, do it in Vendor's Bazzar and pay the dues to the Forum:

what if there is no profit ? I mean if the production coasts 75$ it means he doesn't have a catch right?

There is still a catch. He is copying my design and didn't make an effort to ask me what I think about it.

Peter that does suck. Why not email him asking him why he didn't contact you at all ? It might be a friendly idea..

Off topic a little.

Digi01 I have been emailing you and emailing you asking you some questions are you not getting any emails ?

Peter, I give you the same question like to Zang : Have you heard sometimes about electrochemical cells ?

Zang, nice. What materials have you used? Peter, I think Zang has possibly got inspiration from you and as you said you have copied yourself.

I don't care if he copies or not. I'm just opposing using group buy tactics to make money on someone else's idea (and he's having at least 50 % profit margin).

He can offer it at Vendors Bazaar and sell piece by piece. As long as he mentions it's a copy of my original Patek design and offers for diy purpose only, it should be OK with everybody.

Or at least in the group buy section.

If indeed there is profit being made by this, the I will have to side with Daniel on this one. The Vendor's Bazaar is there for a reason.

PeteM,

You are obviously missing the point.

I don't deny that I copied Kimura and I indeed did not not ask him for permission. The only difference is, I did not advertise my amp on Mr. Kimura's website.

If I present a project here, on a forum, it is done with intention for others to be inspired and maybe build something similar for themselves. It is not intended for others to sell it for profit ON THIS FORUM. That should be obvious to everybody.

He can sell his chassis wherever he wants, outside this forum, or even in Vendors Bazaar, and I can't do nothing about it. But not as a group buy, with projected image that it is "not for profit".
