sreisel: Where does he get it all?

[painter777]

Sling SOLD $280.55 (313092358153) that beats a sling we watched sell on 1-7-13 for $237.50.
Same seller of that $237.50 sling sold a I-I Oiler for $510.00..... roughly same date. There were thoughts of shill bidding on the oiler, week or so later the oiler was re-listed, day later the add stated because of a non paying bidder.

Ironically, I just bought four Sten slings off Ebay, and my point was, if you start low, you could get caught out. I was lucky enough to get them for what he started the auction at. Perhaps its because noone else was looking in??
Its certainly a gamble, but it reflects the true value of the item I suppose.

I have bought a couple of rare holsters from him over the years. Both were spot on to my library reference works. In the last auction for a Navy WWI Luger holster, seller made an error on describing the cleaning rod with the holster. I pointed that fact out to seller and received an apology and prompt partial refund.

He does cruise shows and buys batches of stuff at wholesale. There are some smokey/fishy rumors of bonking and shill bidding, but there are a bunch of legit guys who do pay big money for his stuff. I don't get it, but somebody must.

I've bought a couple rifles from him, but always leerily. One I'm fairly suspicious that I got burned shill-bidder wise, but some of the stuff he gets his hands on is otherwise made of unobtainium...
