One thing I don't think many have focused on yet is the ease with which Jeff gave people refunds. Initially, folks cited that as evidence of what a "good guy" Jeff is. As I have heard these refunds discussed over and over, it sounds more to me that he HALF EXPECTED these refund requests to...

Congrats, Edd! That's a nice looking set (that's what she said). :D

I still don't have a horse in this race (other than advising the group that formed a week or so ago about their legal rights in case their allegations were in fact true), and I still don't know if Jeff actually made these. I don't think anyone can say 100% that he did, and therein lies some of...

If Jeff has nothing to hide and is innocent, he will come on and say why he is. As I said before, at minimum, he is guilty of carelessness by introducing scores of fakes into the hobby. Carelessness can be forgiven quickly; we are all human. But if this goes beyond carelessness and enters the...

I think Edd gave the perfect response to the whole "Jeff should have been contacted first" comment, which Stuart seems to be articulating most forcefully. FFS people, it is clear these all came from Jeff (and perhaps it is now clear that he knew some were fake because Frank told him and then...

Too early to dub this "DoucheBaggieGate"?

Admins have multiple options to prevent that. They can delete any comments on the thread in FB or actually turn off commenting on the thread, opening it up only to bump it themselves and then turn commenting back off. IMO this is what all admins in all groups should be doing on their threads...

Know your question was tongue in cheek, Grant (or at least I think it was), but we discussed this privately before Frank went public (I was included on the pre-discussion to help the guys with the legal view on this potential fraud on the hobby). My personal view and I think those of the others...

Anyone want to start a new U.K. based forum called the Reverberation Base U.K. Trading Vintage Star Wars 1977-78 with me? There's the solution to all of these problems. Compromise! And a new group! Because the hobby needs more groups!

Hallelujah. I would also advise many of the others on this thread that constantly complain about the Echo Base group to do the same. I know Adam P relatively well (don't really know any of the other EB admins) and I know he is a good guy that cares about the hobby. Assume the other admins of...

Would it be "Super extra mint" if it had a full saber?????? :D

I have an inventory of my entire collection with values and such, which I use for insurance purposes. regardless of why you collect - nostalgia, investment, some of both - this stuff has value and you are foolish to ignore that IMO. For that reason, I have all my stuff inventoried as I said...

I guess I am just gonna have to buy one for you for next year's Christmas, Stephen.... :D I am still a little sore that I woke up too late for the Meccano Han 12 back at Vectis that went for a reasonable price, all things considered. Was offered another one recently for about double that...

So, uh, who you talking about, Frank? 8)

I thought it might be him - saw he had a lot of them for sale.

I feel like I say this every time you put out a show, but I want to thank you guys so much for all the hard work that you put into each and every show. Each time I hear you guys, it makes me feel like I am hanging out with a bunch of collecting friends, which helps fill in the gaps between the...

Of course there are new finds of stuff that's been hidden away in lofts, attics, and basements for years. But that's often just duplicates of other items that have been known for years - standard production MOCs, loose figures, etc. But it does still amaze me in a hobby that is over 40 years...

So who was it Simon?

Feel free to pm me on FB Frank, but Simon is right that while I may be able to provide general advice, I am not licensed in the UK nor too familiar with UK law, although it is similar to US law in many respects.

Those are killer Max!
