Here is the Guns America ad from FGS that this crook took the photo from for their scam...

I see that Ebay has not yet pulled the auction. You would think that they would be more careful - expecially after getting sued over permitting the sale of knockoffs on Ebay.

I see also that there is a new high bidder in the auction.

Wasn't the price much higher? I would have sworn they had it ovger 1000 dollars. Now its only at 202.

The bidding history does not show any retracted bids.

I sent e-Bay a note as well as the current high bidder "oeash"...whom I met in person at the SOS show.

Hello to all
As I have say I have contact the seller and ask more pic. Here he's answer:
"Hallo,
alle verf�¼gbaren Photos sind in der Auktion aufgef�¼hrt

Marie"
Translation: all the pic I have are in the auction Marie
We can see he have change his name since lu1900 (Patrice) has write him, before it was "Martin" and yet "Marie"... curious?!?!

Then I have say him: I travel in all Germany and if I he can give me his adress or give me a meeting point.

Since no answer.

I my opinion: fraud.

Best regards

Olivier

I wonder if ebay's lack of action is due to the the "unofficial" nature of the notice? It may be that they will only take action if FGS notifys them...

AH-H-H!! The beauty of this forum brilliantly shines again.

I also contacted oeash via ebay... and warned him.

If you go to the closed auction you will see that "wirstmichvermissen" the seller is No longer a registered user.

Nice detective work Mike...

We can chalk up another world-wide fraud prevented due to the membership here... We are the eyes and ears of the legal Luger collecting community.

I sent a donation to John Dunkle of the Forum on Dec 14, 2005. Is there a certain amount one must donate to become a Patron?

Jack, please contact John D. directly by private message. Let him know how you sent the donation. If it was by mail, it may not have been received. If by paypal, you will have a transaction number you can reference. ...and the answer is no, there is no certain amount... just what your heart tells you is right. It may be that John D. somehow overlooked the donation... I am sure it is just an oversight... Thanks for your support.
