The vast majority of members of this website are conscientious, serious, and responsible trading partners. They are some of the best collectors I have ever met. All Members who have transacted with me will tell you, that doing a deal with me is simple, straightforward and reliable.

I do reserve items on a persons word they will send payment.
I reliably hold an item even if another person offers me more.
I deliver the item reliably and well packed. I charge either no shipping or low shipping. I offer an inspection and return privilege that is very liberal.

Nobody is asked to do anything but Order and Follow Through, or walk away.
If a person reserves an item and does not pay, or creates a problem instead of interacting properly, he might end up on this list.
Most of these guys did just that.

I don't play stupid immature games with anyone.
I will not go into specific details, however I will not consider any further dealings with the people on this list.

It is just my list.. You may do as you wish.

If A person was listed wrongly I will remove them
(It has not happened yet!).
If a person attempts to intimidate to remove them, they may end up seeing all the details of their screw up, in vivid details, in the feedback section.

Do you want undeserved problems in your dealings?
Want your time and effort wasted by B.S.?
Want your relics tied up, while reserved, and never paid for?
Want somebody to just mess with you, for no good reason?
Judging by my experience, HERE ARE THE GUYS FOR YOU!

MY BLACK LIST....................................................................




Angel Rodriguez ... France

Richard James ... USA

Adrian Slupik ... Germany

Richard Davidson ... USA

Johnny Sturdivant ... USA

lim kim ... Singapore

John Schmieg ... USA

Eric Verdellen ... Holland

Gerhard Topf ... Germany

Matjaz 'Mathias' Fritz ... Slovenia

Rob Shelley... USA

Karl-Johan Rosin... Sweden

Andrew P. Jones... Seattle, Washington

Dominique Tricoire.... France

Efim Epchteine... Toronto, Canada

Paul Mann... USA

Stefano Pausa... Italy

Agreed on the above, there are a few others...

But thus far out of 45 items we have sold, 41 have of the buyers have been SUPER folks to work with! They have said and done just what they stated they were going to do.

I will have to relist a few things that I pulled, saddly I have yet to get payment and I don't think its in the mail or on the wire either.
How weird is that?

Overall this sight is Great, we just need some ""real buyers"" to find it, as there are now hundreds of really Great items to BUY for serious collectors in every area of the hobby.

As far as prices, there are some deals here that can't be beaten anywhere on the planet earth..

There are also some deals here that are 2x what the major reputable dealers charge with mark-up and overhead. Shocked

Hi Wyatt,
I am not certain what the price, which a seller asks for an item, has to do with, unreliable members who do not transact deals properly.

That is the subject of this thread.

Sellers are the owners of the items listed on this website.

Is there any reason, a seller should be criticized, for quoting the price he will accept for his item?

Does there need to be any justification for the amount? I see few prices elsewhere, which I consider a bargain, do you?


I have seen the same basic item, for wildly differing prices on sites across the web.

If a person will take a certain amount, that is the price.
Whatever the perception of the validity of a listed price, the choices are few and simple.

a. Make the deal and smile.
b. Politely walk away from the transaction.

We all have decisions and choices to make.
Nobody is forced to buy anything, and nobody is forced to sell anything.

Please be nice to each other, there are no kingpins here.

The Germans have a word for them,... 'Dumbkopf' and it translates directly into English as Dumb Head.
The Americans have Many words, most of which are far too insulting and obscene for polite conversation.
The English call them Wankers, and I much prefer that term.

It applies to most of the so-called collectors who have earned a spot on my black list.
It was just a little list of 4-5 people who seemed immune to proper mental function. It has grown a lot!

Most of these characters were guilty of the same Felony, ... 'B.S. in the first degree'.

They reserved items and took them off the market for weeks, because they said they were buying them.
Then they vanish and never pay.

This is not Calculus! It is not rocket science!
If a person commits to purchasing an item, I take them at their word and act seriously as an adult should. It is immediately reserved for him on his word alone.

Not one of these wankers ever bothered to say, 'I changed my mind' or let me know they were backing out. Instead , they hide and avoid confronting their deceit.

After wasting more time on emails I must then rebuild the listing and offer the item again.

That and other transgressions will receive no mercy.

That is the end for game players and B.S. artists, their emails blocked, my shop door blocked to them forever.

At some point, after seeing thousands of my items get listed and sold, maybe they will realize that being reliable was important.

It is simple, if anybody wants an item ... do NOT reserve it if you are NOT going to complete the transaction.
