Just tried to get onto CG's site but it's down....I'd say the offending item's being removed...

Besides the goodies I'm very interested to know why a certain item has to cost over 100% more than at a other address..
It's always bla,bla.. and never a straight, honest answer.
3 dealers in town all sell the very same TV set for 500, why is yours 1100.

Just curious and confused..

With the decades of experience that Craig has, I find it hard to believe he cant tell a good decal from bad.

Here is the link that he put on GDC.

Their hammering the helmet over there as well. Craig is probably on the phone and typing e-mails to his base with the title "Can you please say something nice about me"

I figure Gailen and the crew are popping on their G-strings and strapping on their pom-poms now for the damage control cheerleading championships and Hohaus is probably sitting there with his finger on "Delete". All this while Vern looks for a better decal and a better can of Krylon.

Craig nothing personal (boy I have said that before) but this is exactly why you get blindsided by these threads. Take the bad decal (IMO) out of the equation.

"A spectacular helmet, truly mint and unissued"

This is a mega, mint helmet, that should satisfy the most discriminating collector $1,900


God man, you can’t really believe your own hype? Here is my business tip of the day. Get yourself off the radar! Stop with these descriptions a blind man can see are untrue and ditch the greed. You can still make a lot of money in this business without going to these extremes.

Like this. Nice cap but "stonemint". Boy do I have some "Stonemint" visors I could sell you.

I'm interested in whether the decal is original, or not. I'll post pictures of it on Monday.

I would think you should settle these issues BEFORE offering them for sale...

Its becoming obvious that you dont know much about your business...I wonder how much bad stuff gets sold that escapes notice...

[Craig Gottlieb]

Hey, I've got hundreds of items on my website at any given time, and occasionally, something slips through that needs further investigation. I know you want dealers to be perfect, but that is not realistic.

Occasionally?
seems rather frequently of late, dont you agree?

Why is everybody so surprized to see a $2000.00 SD Army don't you surf the web ? $700.00 HJ $1200.00 SA $5000.00 SS EM $10,000.00 SS Chained Let me know when you get my point $1400.00 1st Luft.$3000.00 cuff title $10,000.00 SS Hat.Craig sure gets alot of attention,It"s hard for anyone else to get 2 cents worth of info. Do you know what makes an expert? It's one that has bought more junk than oneself and that is no joke.(:}X NEW YORK GIANTS RULE ! What a game,Sorry got off the subject.

Craig,

This is how many items now? Your interested in finding out? you mean you don't know?

Let me ask you a question? Did you try to obtain blank signed Certificates of authenticity from Don Boyle in exchange for cash?

Did you try and pay off Fredrick Stephens to bless the blue panel etch that you sold in excess of $50,000 to a collector after being told it was bad, and in fact priced for the seller by Thomas Wittmann himself at 4500.00. Did Tom Wittman miss a 50k dagger?

The same dagger you in fact cast doubt on when in the hands of the Swedish gent in Louisville. Were you not told it was a fake?. Do you deny these allegations?

I ask for latitude with moderators here as we clearly have a clueless dealer who's credability is going down the toilet quickly.

Two items my eye!! half this crap does not even hit your site.

[Craig Gottlieb]

My mistake here is believing that it's productive to argue with you, Vid, TxGauleiter, et al. You clearly have a personal bone to pick with me, so you persist in rumor-mongering. I've wasted enough time with you, bantering back and forth for your own entertainment. I will gladly answer questions about my products, and will contribute on this forum when I have something productive to say, or when input is needed regarding an item I have posted for sale. Otherwise, I defer to the quality merchandise that lines the pages of my website. High prices? Yep - some of them are. If they are too high, they don't sell and I lower them or keep the item. Other items sell quite quickly because they are underpriced. Others, take a while to sell. Big deal.

Speak up!!!!

Lets hear it, you have in fact tried to authenticate items through experts in their fields with cash bribes. Is this true or do you deny it?
