I have found some online sites and listing selling fan projects from on here…

Please know and remember this - the people who sell these freely available projects do so on the backs of the Fan Editors’ long, arduous & hard work - all given for free. The same applies to those who designed the cover and disc art, and also the people who put together any extras such as interactive menus or bonus / additional content made for these projects as well.

Many of these sellers make considerable money from selling these Fan Edits - despite often claiming that they are only charging ‘for their time and to cover costs’. These claims are false - they substantially profit from their actions.

The quality of product you see in many sellers’ ‘unboxing’ or ‘promotional’ videos on youtube etc may be nowhere near the quality of what you actually receive; some people have received non-working discs, cheap quality discs, poor quality covers printed on standard letter paper, low quality ink settings used, broken disc cases, just being sent the discs themselves instead of in their protective boxes - and without disc covers and artwork too (despite some ‘review’ videos showing the contrary).

They also endanger the future of any and all future projects too. It is a golden rule of owning these freely available Edits that you must own the official retail release (or digital download) - and that no-one profits from the making & distribution of them.
 

Some sellers have even deleted comments on their sites from Harmy and other Fan Editors letting people know the above info - and that all these projects are freely available elsewhere…

 
Harmy, the author of the Despecialized Editions, released a 4 minute video on the subject to youtube - just to remind everyone that Fan Edits & Projects must never be bought or sold:-

There is a thread to discuss such issues, here - Dealing with People Selling Fan Projects - in the ‘Star Wars Preservation’ forum. Please keep discussions on the matter confined to the above thread - thank you.
 

It’s worth remembering that people profiting off bootlegs and other people’s work has always taken place - from Con halls, merch stalls, car boot sales to under-the-counter deals at disreputable videos shops (and now glossy looking websites and ebay). It doesn’t make it right, it is annoying and frustrating - yet there is only so much we can do. eBay doesn’t seem to care along as they get their cut - though they will take listings down when reported (despite a reluctance to ban or sanction the sellers; £$€s) - so keep on reporting the leeches on there as you see fit.
