I just bought a sealed skystriker & night raven from him. When I opened them the toys were covered in mold. I asked if I could get my $1900 back and he said hell no I already opened them. So I had to file with paypal to get my money back.
When I asked why some tape was loose on the box & why there was mold inside he sent me this reply on ebay which pretty much sums up the fact that everything he will have listed for sale will be in the same state as what I got. I copied & pasted it here:
"Hi, I 100 % guarantee that this was never opened. The seals just creeped way a little. Probably from the heat in the estate this came from. House was packed by a hoarder who was a Korean war vet that collected military toys , games, and models.. being the house was never lived in it was never air conditioned or heated. It was his mother's house that he never sold when she died, and kept as a storage place.thanks joe"
I see stuff he sells every week on ebay & none of it is ever cheap. I made the mistake of buying from him and now I hope to warn others. This guy is a real ass. And his stuff smells of mildew before you even open the box.
Appreciate the heads up.
