GlynG, the main problem with him is that he's (idiotically) publicly stated that his desire is run Vanguard John out of business by recasting his products. If you're buying from him then you're condoning his actions, mate. Think you best rethink your position.
Yeah that is rather a dick move. Given the quality of his recasts is less than the originals and he's got a bad reputation I don't think he'll have much impact on Vanguard.
To be clear, I won't ever buy anything currently available elsewhere from him. I will still buy OOP recasts from him if there is no other source anymore.
That's still not the best position to be in. Not to go over the mess again he's caused vanguard, but a lot of those OOP models are OOP because of him. The thread of him jerking people around with 'missing' items as well was posted above. You're still supporting him financially by buying those OOP recasts. He's been blacklisted from almost every corner of the community, but continued financial support is keeping him around plugging his wares on unsuspecting or uncaring people. We can keep blocking his facebook accounts from groups but if people stopped buying from him, then he'd not have any reason to keep navigating around blocks.
