Humped dou43 K98k - CG Followup

[sszza2]

For those who haven't already read about this humper:

http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=386091

And here are the exact email texts from CG in response to this post. Emails were forwarded to other members as I received and responded to them so no room for revision.

Take particular notice that he offered no defense of the subject item. Rather just personal attacks and a cell phones at high noon "phone call" scenario. Bizarre!!!

So why is this kind of person and behavior so zealously defended???????

Enjoy!

#1
CG - You've got a pair of balls when you type, but do you have the courage to call me on the phone? You've got such a skewed view of reality. I bet you don't have the guts to call and face me directly.

#2
CG - if you lived in California, I'd invite you over. But since I don't think you do, it's the only invite I can offer. See, you have me wrong. I'm not a perfect dealer or collector, but if you study my website, over 99% of what I offer (both on the site and at shows) are quality, original material. So, if you're about knowing the material, that's one thing. But if you're into soap-opera antics, proceed as you do.

However, I find that most people don't have the balls to back up their "groupthink" typing with a face to face confrontation where facts, not innuendo and crowd-madness, rule the day. If you don't call or contact me, I'll take it as a sign of your intellectual weakness and/or lack of courage.

So continue to hide behind "sszza2" - unless you've got a pair. You know who I am, and I'm proud of the work I do.

#3
CG - As I said, no courage. My gallery is filled with over 2000 items sold - I'm the only dealer who does that. I'm proud of my record, and just because someone like you - an internet "junkie" can pick me apart on a few questionable items that have NOT been sold to ANY customer, so what. I sleep well at night. Again, you reveal yourself as a coward, who hides behind an internet pseudonym. Pathetic.

I am by no means a delicate wall flower so such words are meaningless especially when the source is obviously a poster child for mental illness. My responses were extremely tame given the situation and others can speak to this. But this is not the point. I am most curious to hear why when humped merchandise is exposed as in this case (and others) such behavior by the fraudster has been/will be tolerated? Curious to hear from WAF management when enough is enough from this guy?

Scott ; I'm of the firm belief that the lid mafia and the national bank of WAF fundage mafia are tied... so much so the RICCO act might send some of these hoods to the clink.
This is very much like the email I got from the gobster when he started his propaganda merchandising on the now dead BCN when I had the gall to call a spade a spade.

If Craig is such a successful dealer, he should have the money to hire somebody that knows TR and can screen his "MINT - RARE - UNOBTAINABLE" pieces before he puts them up for sale. His legs and arms must be killing him from all the digging out and backpedaling...

Disappointing.

I would settle for his explanation of the humped up 98K and the Russian Capture P-38's he has been hawking for sizeable sums. Typical of his lert's change the focus of the matter at hand and discuss anything but the humped up items. Anyone that spends money with this guy needs serious help.

Indeed tragic to tie your wagon to a lost cause. Like BCN such avoidable actions tend to stear the ship into the iceberg of irrelevance.

Amen. He is welcome on the GB K98k forum where I am a Moderator. There he can demonstrate his subject matter knowledge and/or stomp up and down to his hearts content. We will not censor him. But then that would require the courage he complains about.

At the GB K98k forum he'll be allowed an open podium to state his case. Haven't seen him there. I've never heard of a post censored or a person banned in over 10 years there and it's a huge German rifle forum. So its problems with K98ks, P.38s and P.08s?

My opinions: If a dealer makes all those detailed representations, fluff, and originality comments in an ad, and charges those very high prices, that dealer should know what he is talking about. I don't know that this one does. IMHO, it isn't OK to make all those representations with the caveat that a refund will be offered if the dealer is caught peddling a honker. I think he is going to find that 3R firearms collectors have much higher expectations and alot less tolerance for carnival barking than 3R trinkets and gear. Also, the GB K98k and Still P.08 and Orv's P.38 forums don't censor and protect, so nonsense doesn't get very far. SSZZA2, from what I know of you, the last thing that guy wants is a face to face Thanks for your service to the hobby!
