I imagine Steve Barnett is wishing this thread would die out. I dont think it should as dealer ethics or extreme lacks of same are of interest to the members of this board. It lets us know who to avoid. What is perhaps sad is it has helped convince people like me to avoid purchasing through online dealers many of whom are in fact honest, but how do you know. If I cant see it in person, I aint buying. In this day, events like The Vintage Cup are of more value than ever because it seems more of our dealer are lacking in values.
