Seller told him they were 10-71s

Greg from New Zealand here, i brought a set of 280K planes via ebay from him, hard to deal with, tabs were not the condition stated and as i airfreighted them to Nz "not cheap". Having to strip and rebuild so really should have brought new.
After reading your post i won't be seeking product from him again. This was before i became part of this great web site,

Looks like Ralph Charette (A.K.A. ‘The Big C’) has picked up another gem recently...

It’s almost a pity he’s banned because he probably doesn’t see how he’s getting trashed on here.

he's had that list for a fairly long while..

I doubt it would make a difference to him if he was following along

I think anyone (general public) can see the posts. Things like uncensored forum can only be seen by registered members. He wouldn’t receive notifications, can’t post or send messages and wouldn’t be able to view member profiles.

Maybe he’s googled his name and it’s come up on OSO so he can follow along in silence. :silenced: Ha!
