Members beware rommel-lebt.com

I posted an ad on craigslist.org three weeks ago seeking a Volkssturm Wehrmacht armband. This same exact guy, named John Goral, from rommel-lebt contacted me saying he had one and wanted $90 for it. I said no thank you, I'm looking to spend around $50 but thanks for the offer anyway. After that he started sending me several emails that said "OY VEY WHAT A DEAL", like he copied and pasted it several times. I emailed him back and said "Hmm...I don't think I'll be sending you money any time soon."

Avoid I TAKE PAY PAL harrys-ww2-attic.com like the f*cking plague.

This guy has some serious mental illness. Also, 90$ for a Volksturm armband? He seems to prey on more un-experienced collectors and get them pay a ridiculous price

Wow, that is even worse than my experience with him. It seems as though the 'oy vey' thing is meant to be some type of antisemitic slur.

Really? I didnt know it meant that. That guy has a serious stick up his ass... sideways.

Well, "oy vey" is a Yiddish phrase meaning something like "oh boy." I don't know for sure that it was antisemitic, but it seems fairly likely given the context.

Ah, what a classy guy. His business must be blooming for surely.

Erno is right. I found this on the net:

"oy vey (interjection) : a Yiddish expression meaning something similar to "Oh God" and used in exasperation, annoyance, or frustration".

Being antisemitic was definitely his intention. Also I forgot the last email he sent me after I told him I would not be sending him money. He said, and I quote: "I already knew that - that is why I was speaking in your native language- schmuck"

Schmuck is also a word of Yiddish origin, I believe.

He's been banned from WAF as well...
I agree that "Rommel-lebt" should be avoided just like "Snyder's Treasures"...
cheers, Glenn

Wow, that is beyond the pale.
