Sorry to be late, but I wanted to offer my two cents worth. My experience (several purchases) is that he is consistent. He always portrays his stuff as being much better than it actually is, but you can usually tell that from his pictures. By and large, what he calls "collector quality" most everybody else calls "as is". Due to the years of bad comments, he rarely gets top dollar for his stuff, and there very often are deals to be had because so many people just don't bid at all. If you never, ever, take what he says at face value and know what things are really worth, you may get lucky. If you are looking for high quality stuff that will work out of the box or with minimal work, stay away!!!
