Videobob / tcbtexas / rcmsales - bobs prop shop - Bob Moseley
Has been banned for recasting Proton Pack shells purchased from Ross Arbuckle. He claims his shells are 100% authentic straight from Universal Studios and therefore his recasts are ok, however his shell was purchased from someone else's copies, which makes them recast. In addition there is some discrepancy as to whether or not the shells are actually related to the real Proton Packs used in the movie, having provided very little proof. Furthermore Videobob has been banned from The RPF (and numerous other sites) for recasting, and has a long history of recasting and stealing Back to the Future parts from others (even from the actual BTTF cars at Universal). He should be avoided by all costs and is by far the #1 person on his blacklist to avoid.

No. That’s business. Buy for a dollar, sell for two(or 3 or 4 and so on). How many Apple products do you own? Sony? Samsung? They do far worse things than selling cars for more than what they are worth. And yet I’m sure you still purchase their products. But that’s the game, right? Faceless corporations can get away with it. But when its some nobody? Suddenly it’s “unfair”.
It's unfair when he's recasting people's work and making false claims like "hey this is original material when it's not." I mean you can buy and recast whatever props you come across E-Bay or Etsy, third parties, but it's still shit practice. It's not going to surprise me in the slightest when people start copying the Hasbro shell's. I don't want to sound like I'm beating up on the dude but it's not a one time bad deal he's made.
