I saw him in San Francisco at the Cow palace a few years ago. He does have real stuff, but way over priced.
I was walking past his table and saw he had some pawls, maybe 8 or so, new in the wrap. But when I asked about them, he wanted $25 each. I thought that was way over priced. Another table had complete bolt tools for $35.
Now I wouldn't buy from him, just on principle.
