I understand the desire to stop him, but he has not done anything that gives anyone a legit reason to stop him. Bad taste, poor decisions, B. S. descriptions, tacky "restorations", bogous colors and all the rest are not a proper reason to stop him. As long as he follows the auction house rules he can go on.
Fraud is had to prove and he does state that his wares have been "exrertly restored". It is only your opinion, and the rest of the sane world, that his restorations are old guns that have been given the hot wax on a turd treatment. Shinny, but they stink.
Look at it this way. He takes old guns with no finish, guns that have very little value and refreshes them. They are still just old guns in bad shape, they just look better to the untrained eye. A lot like makeup, on old hookers, in dark bars. At the same time he is a one man show of the things that we are trying to educate others on this BBs to see and avoid. His tasteless colors are so bad that they have become the standard that other tourch colors can be judge by.
From accounts of how he deals on a personal level he would not get my money if pigs learned how to fly. I bet that I have more unscrewed up guns in my gun room than he has ever sold and I do not need trashed, worn out guns to try to fix up. I already have 20 or so nice guns needing a proper restoration or just a decent amount of cleaning and care to ever buy a gun from him.
