Interesting, you run your own auction site, you control the feedback!

wterrell · 08-30-2004, 07:12 PM

notes at the bottom the pages on the site say that the auction is owned by Imperial Holding Company of Las Vegas, Nevada

Is this the same feller?

Thor · 08-30-2004, 07:16 PM

Wes, when you click on each individual auction you will see the location is the place in TEXAS with the intial dfk. Artillery Luger Auction

Oh no, not him again. Yuk! Can't he just go away....I mean come on, We all know him!

George Anderson · 08-31-2004, 06:47 AM

Check out his rating system; unbelievable! He's got 17 feedbacks from four buyers. Kind of like a kid writing his own report card.

Lugerdoc · 08-31-2004, 09:25 AM

It appears that all items show have bids, which are about the current retail prices of the parts & mags shown. TH

This LOW LIFE stuck a friend, for a sizeable sum
cant post name yet as legal action is being taken.
From what I understand it seems its very hard to
have something done to recover his money. It appears
this "gentleman" knows all the tricks

John Sabato · 09-01-2004, 10:57 AM

the truely sad part of this story is that some members of this forum knew this dealer years ago and he HAD been known as a reputable dealer... what happened since then is anyone's guess...

Hugh · 09-08-2004, 02:09 AM

And not only that, John, but he DOES have some very nice and fairly rare parts!

Malcolm P. · 09-27-2004, 11:09 PM

I am fairly new. See he has an artillery that looks good that price is right (under $1000). But assume everyone would not buy from this guy. Are his guns not in shape appear?

Edward Tinker · 09-27-2004, 11:12 PM

Do a search on Copperas Cove here on this site, and then decide for yourself...

I bought supposedly original parts from him in the distant past and I have seen his "stuff" and guns at the Tulsa show on a few occasions. The parts I bought from him were all numbered by him and phoney as hell. I would not buy anything from him again. Hell I wouldn't buy gasoline from him if he had the cheapest price in town.
