Anyone ever buy anything from this website?

They have many very interesting items (Gorings blue max, uniform, etc). Just wondering if this is a trustworthy dealer as I have seen an item i may want to purchase.

I urge careful comparison with known originals of the same type and maker.

I think starting off as a beginner, it would be ill advised to purchase very rare and expensive items.

I have purchased several good items from him over the years, but I was fully informed and aware of exactly what each piece was. I knew it to be an original each time I proceeded.

Any seller can have a bad piece. Whether they know it or not is not the issue anymore.

With prices as they are, it is a matter of self preservation and mental stability to KNOW what you are doing in this field, and buying from an informed opinion.

Do the research. Study the subject. avoid stress and disappointment at some later time.

That seller has many original items on the site. There are other items I personally would not want to own.

I was looking to buy a Russian front medal but he doesnt show the medal in the picture. I wasnt going to request a picture if he wasnt a trustworthy dealer.

I assume the russian front medal would be genuine and because it wasnt a lot of money i guess its a risk you take. But as long as you didnt have any problems sending the payment or receiving you items then i guess its ok.


Unless anyone else knows of a Russian Front medal in mint condition they are willing to sell?

no i m20 years old, sorry for being unclear. But im looking for an excellent condition Russian front medal. And I only use PayPal as a means of money transactions which is a setback to alot of sellers. Unless you have your own store and then i could just use my visa, which is what i prefer.

Yes that can be a problem. I know I only accept postal money orders.I also dont give any returns.But there are good reasons why.I have been burnt by people buying an item then sending me back a repo.Its just a lot of trouble.You will find the right deal for you . Just wait till it comes along.Best regards David Guist.

Isn't the practice of buying an original item and then returning a fake to the seller known as the ''Angolia Method''?
