Hadoque - could you please give us a link to the original conversation about this that you saw on Klickywelt?  Thanks in advance!   :)

Sorry Indy, no link this time, because I'm not sure the person who brought up the subject on Klickywelt would like that.
And I don't want to ruin my connections with the Germans, I might already be in trouble for quoting Basil Fawlty too much... ;D

But here are his/her ( ;)) exact words posted on Klickywelt, in German:

"Geobra geht ja derzeit schon massiv gegen gewerbliche Anbieter auf Ebay vor die Figuren-Einzelteile anbieten."

My translation: "Geobra nowadays already acts massively against professional sellers on eBay who offer figure-parts."


This was a response to a question from someone:

"Nö, nur ein 8 Seiten starkes Schreiben (mit Unterlassungserklärung und allem drumherum) von deren Anwälten und das haben min. 2 Ebay Verkäufer bekommen."

Translanted:
"Noo, only a 8-pages strong letter (with ...*-declaration and all that comes with that) from their lawyers and at least 2 ebay-sellers have received that"

*: I don't know the correct English word for "Unterlassungserklärung",  ???  I would translate it as "ingebrekestelling" in Dutch (my mother tongue).

Thanks, Hadoque - that's better than a link anyway because your translation, I am sure, is better than the computerized one.  You are very good to be so considerate of the possible feelings and wishes of the original KW source.   :)  And you are probably wise to keep your inner Basil on a short leash!   :lol:  Just don't mention the war!  Oops!   :-[   ;)

 :lol: That was a great episode, especially when he locked Manuel in the kitchen!

Let's get back to the topic, please, though.

I think it's what's known in legal terms as a "Cease and Desist Declaration" although what that actually means in real terms, I don't know.

Eees a hamster.

Sorry, off topic!!

yes, that's it and thus Bad Mum is correct with her English translation. I didn't know how to say it in English.  :)

Good for them it wasn't a "Decease and Disexist Declaration" !  ;D
