The only way this makes sense to me is if the parts were part of an internal theft. Geobra produces a lot of individual parts in a day and through that process there is going to be a lot of defects. From what I understand the parts are to be re-cycled but in the past they went missing. This happens here all the time. I was asked by a client to take back a $4000 hot-tub to costco as it was insufficient. When I took it back I asked the warehouse worker what was going to happen to it and he pointed to his truck and smiled, then said we will smash it and put it in the dumpster.

I really do not see how Geobra can govern what people legitimately sell. These toy/any companies do weird protective things though. I heard Lego is still fighting to retain their lost patent on the brick even though 30 years ago they agreed to the patent expiration date. 

Has anybody at Klickywelt figured out who the sellers were?

Just keeping it simple: I don't know what's going on, so I will not comment on it.

It might even be that a particular German law forces Geobra to take action in Germany.
This is just gossip and is completely devoid of any facts. Instead of breaking my head over this, I rather spend watching my favourite klickies and then some...

So, you think I'm just spreading gossip and you're the person to know? Yeah, right! ::)

Perhaps you should f.e. read this post by "Mike1003" in the "19th century husar"-thread:

no, ignore playmochris.. that one of those guys who got that 8 pages letter from geobra. dont support him and buy something of him..

Apparantly there are other people besides me who heard about the story, and also know things about it.
That doesn't prove it to be true, but the more sources acknowledging the info, the lesser the chance it is just a rumor.

Btw:
Elvis is dead, the moonlandings weren't faked, and Osama Bin Laden is not drinking coffee with the US president in the oval office. And that's no gossip either.

I think the point is that we don't know any of the facts about what was in the letters yet. I'm sure there were letters, but we are only speculating as to exactly what they say.

True and I agree completely. I just don't like to be called a person who spreads gossip.

I once got a PM with lots of false accusations and insults (when the whole CCC-thing started in the summer of 2010) by a "very respected member" of this forum. I don't tolerate insults anymore, I've been through too much trouble in personal life the past years.

I've recently started posting pics of my collection and customs, not only because I like to share them and like to know what you guys (& girls) think about it, but also (!) to prove that I'm a true Playmobil-collector and not a "troll" or "trouble-seeker/starter" on this forum (as I've been called in the PM I mentioned above).

I don't think any bad intent was meant by the previous statements, Hadoque. I wish there was someone that could verify what the letters contained to tell us what has transpired.

Yes, I don't think anyone meant to imply you were spreading gossip, I know I didn't. I just am not too big on speculation, and would rather wait until we know more details before I give opinions on anything.

Not sure, I've come across his listings only occasionally...

The reason I started this topic is not so much to find out who got tipped on the fingers by Geobra and in what way, but to discuss whether Klicky-parts (like legs, wigs, heads, torsos) may/may not/should/should not be allowed to be sold on ebay in larger quantities:
f.e. person X looks for 40 pairs of Klicky-legs to customize 40 Santa Clauses, and buys 10x 4 pairs of these on ebay from person Y.

The only thing is if they were acquired in a questionable manner. If yes than I agree with Geobra if not and he is reselling what he legitimately bought than I do not agree with Geobra
