Who is this guy?????????

Doug G. · 02-20-2003, 06:57 PM

GUNBROKER AUCTION SELLER
This guy has lots of Lugers, many restored. Lots of high priced mags, and some questionable accessories. I have never heard of a loading tool pouch? His pouch and drum mag cases are both made of leather that looks new. He fails to mention if they are repro's or not.

Anyone here know him?

Good one Ed

What a lousy post. I can't believe that anyone associated with this Forum could get any information, from the lack of information supplied. What a waste of time and effort! In other words, Thanks for nothing!!!

Edward Tinker · 02-21-2003, 07:00 AM

Frank, your heart and soul, relax man, take a deep breath...

I think there have been lots of comments about this seller, I have no idea if they are true or not, so I don't feel right in saying one way or another. He has tons of things for sale on gunbroker.com and I just don't know.

I'd say, check your private messages, but then you might check them and I didn't send anything to you...

BOREING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No data, or otherwise !!!!!!!!!!

Edward Tinker · 02-21-2003, 11:10 AM

If I'd had a problem directly with this guy, I'd tell you I promise <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Since the silent majority is being quiet, do we assume that he is an okay dealer? But why don't you check your PM's. {{really}}

I purchased (non-auction) a firing pin from this individual and was quite pleased with the transaction.

Hugh · 02-21-2003, 01:01 PM

I have talked with this individual at the Astrohall Gun Show on a couple of occasions. He appears to be knowledgable and has quite an assortment of parts and guns. Most of his guns had high prices and appeared to my untrained eyes to be expertly refinished.

Leon DeSpain · 02-21-2003, 02:13 PM

I got a form letter from this individual before Thanksgiving informing me that he was closing all of his businesses because of health reasons and was selling out. He asked if I wanted a list. I didn't respond.

He used to set up at the Dallas Market Hall show all the time. I never purchased anything from him. 'Nuff Said.

Some years ago I bought several accoutrements from this person. ALL were faked! They included numbered LP08 stock(a recent piece of junk) and a numbered tool(E German). I have kept the pieces as well as the invoice and cancelled check and have no concerns with discussing what I feel to have been a fraudulent transaction.

Frank · 02-21-2003, 03:37 PM

OK Guys, Good Data !!!!!!!! Thanks!!

MIKE MORRIS · 05-05-2003, 12:01 AM

I'M REALLY QUITE NEW TO THE FORUM AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK OUT WHO YOU ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT, BUT IF THIS GUY IS FROM COPPERAS COVE TEXAS, I'VE PERSONALLY HAD A BAD EXPERINECE WITH HIM. I SENT HIM A BOX OF 7 HOLSTERS ( RARE ONES, IE 1902 FAT BBL, '06 COMPLETE NAVY RIG, ETC. ) ON THE CUFF. HE SAYS HE NEVER RECIEVED THEM. LIKE A DUMMY I SENT THEM REGULAR MAIL (AS I HAD SENT HIM STUFF BEFORE BUT AFTER I GOT A CHECK )WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THE 1ST TIME I SENT HIM A SHIPMENT WITHOUT COLLECTING 1ST IS WHEN I GOT THE EL SHAFTO..........MIKE MORRIS

Edward Tinker · 05-05-2003, 02:07 AM

I believe that is the same guy Mike, sorry you had a bad time with him.

I have never dealt with him, probably won't either...
