“An ebay buyer was convicted of hel majesty – because the alleged Internet bargain was theft.”http://service.spiegel.de/digas/find?DID=53060222 Unfortunately, the complete article is only available in the mirror or as an e-paper. In summary, it was about someone buying a (sold) Navi at Ebay as a replacement for the Navi stolen from him. In June, he was sentenced to a fine of 40 TS of 30 € for hel majeure. Among other things, he was ordered to pay a fine of 40 TS. ngen STARTpreis (1 Euro), the large difference to the new price of the device (800 Euro auction amount <-> 2000 € new price) as well as the fact that the seller comes from Poland (!) should have been stutzig. He had “at least considered it possible and accepted that the goods could be stolen”. On Friday the appeal hearing is open to the competent LG; this decision could have a precedent character. I am not sure if the Arguments of the Pforzheim AG continue to exist… In any case, something has to happen in view of the ever-increasing mass of thieves’ goods (Navis, Spiegel, Xenon headlights, etc.) sold by ebay. Of course, a drastic reduction in demand would be best.
