Thanks folks, for your input.

So are we, and any "legitimate" dealer that has kept the Harbour Lights line. We're all struggling to ride out these tough times, in the hope that things will recover. Those dealers not willing to ride it out are dumping their pieces on E-bay.

The way to stop them is as I mentioned above. All you need is the number of piece to track down the dealer. Many of these dealers probably have an employee (or friend) photograph the pieces and ship them as they are sold, from their home address. They probably think that a different "shipping address," other than their store address, will keep them from being linked to the piece. Uh . . . No! The number of the piece will always link them to the sale. Other obvious signs are that the pieces all appear very closely together on the E-bay list of Harbour Lights for sale, and the photography background is the same. Check a week later, and you'll recognize the photography background, meaning the same dealer is selling a second set of these new pieces. The dealer we caught was selling piece #122 one week, and then #123 the next week.

It's just a question of whether Harbour Lights thinks this is a serious enough problem and wants to stop them. Stopping them means losing more dealers, which will, in the short term, hurt Harbour Lights. That's the last thing Harbour Lights needs right now.

We say, go ahead, buy a discounted piece, and turn them in to Tony Constantino. Let's get rid of these dealers that may cause us all to lose Harbour Lights.
