The $ 100,000 littman

[Randy H]

This whole thing makes him look foolish.

Quite the contrary. Makes him look like a pretty smart business man. Look at all the publcity and advertising he is getting from all the stupid rants and endless posts regarding his product. And how many "hits" on his website have come from "concerned" people on this forum? And all for free. Does not matter if his product is top-notch or garbage. As I have always told my kids, that if you go in the back yard, we have two huge dogs. And as nature compels, they leave their "products" in the yard. If you see a pile, and just walk around it and leave it laying, it is indeed still s**t, but as it is, it is tolerable. If you take a stick and start stirring it up, pretty soon you got sh*t all over the place, and all over you, and it stinks. Best thing to do would have been to let it lie. Yep, it is still sh**, but at least it "didn't" stink so bad......

Yeah Littmann has probably sold more Razzles and other Polaroid 110 conversions for the other guys than any advertising they could have ever done on their own ;-)

If we don't stop talking about this, we may be subjected to a 5,000-word post by Mr. Littman.

We won't as luck has it. He is banned.

I joined this forum after the posting wars that resulted in Mr. Littman's ban.
Clearly people have strong feelings.
But I do not think you all should be dissing someone who cannot respond.

Commercial enterprises routinely offer their products as incentives to charities and out of it they get only advertising or the positiveness of social responsibility.
The value of a charity donation is usually not related to the product.
The subject of comment of the listing is certainly fair play. Opinions on the product may be fair play ( particularily if you have used one), but that is not really what we are discussing here.
Rudeness based on previous postings and not related to the ebay listing is unfair and unseemly.
stupid, petty, shit, junky, garbage, mentally unstable, unhinged, kook.
He certainly generates strong opinions. The apparent animosities may be justified.
I am not commenting on the validity of the opinions, merely suggesting that it is unsporting to trash someone who can no longer respond, in a post not directly related to the previous postings that had him expelled.
I have read the old posts (out of purient interest) and some of the comments in this thread have the nastiness found there.
I love the community of this forum but I do not think the tone of this thread is becoming.

Littman shows his true colours here: http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI...manphotodesign

When it comes to 'trashing' he reigns supreme.

I think the whole purpose is to make his prices look less inflated. And its already working.
quote from a question on that auction site:
"You asking for $100.000 and the camera is worth $6500."
Win for Litmann...next to $100000 the $6500 figure looks indeed reasonable.
But we all know what you can actually get for $6500 in the real world.

If nothing else, I would refuse to purchase from somebody who blatantly uses the term "Spastic" on his 'about me' page.

If you place a racist terminology for Negro, you'd have uproar.

While I could not agree with you more, things can be very complicated.
To some, Negro is a racist terminology for African-American or Black.
I admired your recent and admirable defense of the linguistically complex.
I still do not think we need to denigrate ( ain't English great) people here no matter how much they do it to themselves.

So we now have someone defending the politeness and decency owed to Guillermo/ William Littman. I thought I’d never live to see this day.
