I noticed the same thing John. I thought it interesting that he used the same tommygg101 handle as a bidder for those online auctions. As you said, he won a lot of them too. I’m thinking he used his ill gotten proceeds from selling fakes to finance his legitimate collection.1967redrider wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 5:01 pmMumbleypeg wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 4:45 am I agree Wayne. Another was tommygg101 - can't recall ever seeing anything but counterfeits from him either. IIRC he also had a 100% feedback rating, and he was a prolific seller of fakes.

Interesting thing about tommygg, Ken. He used to place pre-bids at all of the online auction houses but then never followed the auctions on auction days. So most often, if he won anything it was because no on site or online person put a bid in before the hammer dropped. Most of what he did win was legit and I never saw those knives listed in his eBay sales. Not sure what he did with them?![]()
