: Look what I found on E-bay again, another cheap whip advertised at to being and authentic prop from the Indy Films. I have alearted the bidder with the following message!

: Hello, I am the Indiana Jones Gear Specialist at IndyWeb , the whip you have bid on is not an authentic prop. The whips that were used in the Indy films were made by David Morgan. You can view the whip at my site in the Indy Wear section. The real whips used in the films were nothing like the whips you have bid on e-bay. That is a cheap $5.00 piece of junk! Please take my advise and take back your bid now before you will be ripped off!!

: Help me in the fight!
: Josh

I applaud your enthusiasm, but truly hope you have not painted a target squarely between your eyes, as well as the web master/owner of IndyWeb. You are a self proclaimed expert, Josh, and if this individual can indeed prove that this whip is indeed from the set of Temple of doom (no where does he claim that Harrison Ford used this whip, he just claims it came from the set), then you have placed you and your site in law suit territory. The individual has written at the eBay site the reason he retracted his bid was because "he was warned by an Indiana Jones expert that is was a fraud". I sure hope you can prove it if you're challenged by the seller, Josh. Good luck. Regards. Michaelson
