The point here is, as other members mentioned before, that:
1- this dealer has deceived quite a few collectors by selling fakes. This is a fact, not a virtual story. Plenty of pictures of these fakes are available on different Forums to confirm it.
2- this dealer is most of the time rude, unpolite, arrogant... This is a fact, as mentioned by many collectors in different Forums. I had myself exchanged a few emails with him years ago when I started collecting so I know what I'm talking about!
3- the horror stories about this dealer abound in different Forums like this one, so this is also a fact that too many collectors complain about this particular dealer. If only one or two stories one could think it might be the result of some personal misunderstanding, but given the amount of stories from different collectors and the fact they are always about this same dealer, and not about any other dealer (as well as the fact I had my own bad experience with this person) brings me to the conclusion these are true stories.
So, maybe some of us might have never had a bad experience with him, but in no way that can be a reason to deny the horror stories others have experienced and wish to share with their fellow collectors!
Personnaly I have deleted this dealer from my list immediately after that incident years ago, so never bought him one single piece, and I can assure you that didn't in no way limited my collecting capability! Plenty of other people to deal with over there, either on E... or simply from our favorite 100% trustworthy, reliable and friendly dealer.
Just my two cents,
