I'm Sorry but What's Wrong With These People?!

"Flight" goggles? Right. Not sure these are even period M1944s... and certainly not B-8s.

WWII? Like many of their other items, how can you not know what it is but ask so much?

To me this is like fishing with a hot glue gun. Why even waste the time to list?

Sorry just ranting again.

Ebay seller Aviationetc is a well-known head case. Outrageous prices!

That second one should be this.

flyboyplus is Allan Bass from NJ.
Sucker fishing is a popular sport in the Tri-State area, tho I don't know how many bites they get.
Allan bought up a whole gob of M-421s at $45 a pop when What Price Glory ran low, then eBayed them at $250 a pop. Guess what? He didn't sell a one.

Yeah but are there suckers with that much disposable income yet that wouldn't research an item with such a price?

He must be quite a character. It's too bad we share a hobby with such ill-reputed individuals.

Here's another with an OTT price.

Two more from sellers who are either ill informed about originals or out to make a lot of money from the unsuspecting novice. :roll:

The first one is advertised as a reproduction. Not sure if it was changed after you posted this notice.

The second one is almost too funny. Some of the stories these people come up with makes one wonder if there are people out there believing it. I tell people shopping for antiques to "buy the object, not the story".

Here's a hint to prospective fraudsters: don't post so damn many pictures. :lol:

 

[Roughwear]

Yes, the seller has altered the first one since I posted about it.
