I would think that there may be issues of copyright infringement, and well, eBay doesn't take kindly to that. Of course I am not an Intellectual Property Lawyer, or a Patent Attorney, but TKE HQ may want to call upon a brother who is. If the item for sale is what is available free on the website, and the one link to the "Black Book" has a copyright of 2007 at the bottom, then maybe eBay should be notified.

Okay, so "my friend" received a response from the seller.

This is what "she" sent to him:

"Dear ctoucey63,

Not harping at you. (I'm sure you've gotten plenty of that.) I'm just curious why someone should pay for something they can just print off TKE's website?"

He responded with:

"That's a good question. My friend who's a TeKE is posting this item for sale. I'm not familiar with their rituals or history."


Hmm, isn't it nice that we all have so many "friends"? ;)

why does anyone even give a shit? worry about your own fraternity/sorority

Because the OP started with this:
And ended with this:

I think people care because they have the "What if it happened to me"feelings on it.

The greek community should really be a united group considering the stereotypes and problems we have to overcome.

By the way, its not our ritual book. But it is making money off of copyrighted material.

True that Day13!

By the way, my friend retracted his bid when I showed him this thread. It still ended up going for like $120 though. It went to some stupid collector. I checked his feedback and viewed the items he bought in the last 90 days...stuff from all kinds of different fraternities and sororites. Oh well, it's his money wasted. Maybe next time he will think twice before bidding on something that he shouldn't have access to in the first place...

I know I'd want to get my hands one it and find out about the mysteries of the TKExperience (see left hand page in the second picture on the ebay page).

Oh, you mean the little thing with the Goat?

What does the GTO have to do with this?

I believe it was a joke that went over your head.
