Gentlemen,
I am having a problem with a German dealer named Torsten Kabel who goes by the name of "wr.-berlin-dzierzynski" on ebay.de as a seller of East German militaria. He posted a link to this item on another forum and I purchased what was described as a "KVP HVA DGP Uniformjacke Wachtmeister 1951" as ebay.de Artiklenummer: 6109907878 from him on July 31, 2004. It was actually an early Grenzpolizei Jacke. He received immediate payment and stated he mailed the Uniformjacke at the first of August...but no such Uniformjacke has arrived. After repeated correspondence, he will now not respond to my emails and will not refund my money.
Has anyone had a similar bad experience with this dealer? Is he dishonest? I have received several emails from fellow collectors who have advised me that they too have had problems with this dealer in the past but have not made it public. Perhaps my experience will help keep other DDR collectors from suffering the loss of well over 200 euro that I have experienced with this DDR Militaria dealer.
