Want to pay to be a monorail co-pilot?

[Disneys America]

Has anyone ever heard of what this person is selling on ebay? I thought all you had to do was ask to be a co-pilot.

sounds like a scam to me...

 

[Sir Hiss527]

What to sit up in the front seat? You can do that for free. Or is the auction for to drive the monorail?

 

[SpongeScott]

I'm assuming ignorance on the person who actually bid, so I e-mailed them and told them to back out of the bid.

 

[Disneys America]

It didn't sound right to me, either, but I didn't know for sure. I figured if anyone knew it would be the people here.

 

[agdbeanie]

That is a total scam!!! We sit in the front everytime and it's FREE. All you do is ask to sit in the front, just like you would to sit in the front of the Rockn' Roller Coaster etc. I can't believe that person!

 

[Sir Hiss527]

That person is pretty sick for doing that. Anyways how is the person that made the auction, going to get this guy a ride in the front seat, if you really had to pay? People these days!

it's amazing what people try to hock on eBay... it's even more amazing that people will bid on stuff like that.

you know what they say - a sucker is born every minute, and - caveat emptor

I have a little monorail co-piolot business card type thing i got when i rode in the front a few years ago, it was free and they have stacks of them in the monorail, i don't think they entitle you to anything but maybe that's what they're selling

SCAM!!! He should be reported to the Attorney General's Office of whatever state he lives in. Those things are FREE!!! :brick:

1080skier -- any chance you have a copy of that scanned in? I'd like to check it out.

if not you, then does anyone have an image of what that badge/license looks like? I think it'd be a cool intro image for my trip to disney webpage...

Here is the 2000 edition (also from ebay).

edit: I just found the current one, too.

 

[enough]

-edit-

I shouldn't be so lazy... had i only searched on google before asking i woulda found this!

I don't know if Ebay can or would do anything about this. Selling it is not illegal, just highly unethical. I can find something here at home that is of no value to me, put it up for sale, and hope someone buys it and I'm perfectly within the rules of Ebay. The person selling needs to be called out by someone noticing what he is doing.

does anyone know what the 2003 license looks like? I haven't seen it so I made my own...

Nice job on the 2003 card.

A picture of the real one can be found at that second link I posted, the one I edited in.

 

[celestia]

I e-mailed the high bidder and informed them of the scam, if that helps them at all..

Due to budget cuts and 9/11, the 100 Years of Magic co-pilot card never got printed. The current card is the same as the 2000 card, but minus the "2000"

By the way, I emailed the bidder and eBay to inform them of the scam, as well.
