Has anyone purchased part from the following web site?

https://www.omsparesb.com/pinball-c-3292_4359_4375.htm

The prices seem too good to be true.

Thanks.

It appears to be a scam. Website was created a couple weeks ago and is based in Kuala Lumpur, MY. Don't do it...

They pulled adds off of eBay and put them up as their own - I did a
search for one of their items "Gottlieb Golden Arrow Pinball Machine
Original Manual NOS! Free Shipping! New!" and found the eBay ad. The
same for "PANTHERA LED Lighting Kit SUPER BRIGHT Custom Complete LED
KIT" - eBay...

This is what happens when you don't watermark your images...

John, what do you use to watermark your images. I have a couple of
WordPress sites. I use Image Zoom plugin so that one just clicks on the
image and it pops up.

I tried to use a watermark plugin and it seemed to conflict with Image
Zoom.

I have way too many images to go back and manually insert a watermark.

Thanks.

I've been using iWatermark - a program that runs on osX. Quite happy
with this, it does batches, resizes, edits metadata, pretty much
anything useful for posting images on the web.

Thanks John. I would consider that. It looks like a good program. Nice
that it works on OSX.

But I think it means that I would have to reload all of my images,
including inserting them into the page at the proper position. One of
the problems I have with WordPress is that when I go to 'Media', it
gives me no clue as to where that image is being used. So if I delete
it and reload, I cannot be certain that I have replaced it back into all
of the correct pages.

If I had started out using it, then I would not have this issue.
