Well, if You do not like that helmet and You also got 50% refund, so why not to sell it to me? I offered You $50 and I will also pay for shipping. It will be a good deal for You and also for me:-). You will get some profit and will get rid of that helmet You do not like. I will get the helmet I like. It is a nice battle damaged helmet, with or without decals.
I did decide to leave a neutral FB and not a Neg as cgp1066 suggested. Allthough his record of fakes is high, I have to judge it based on my experience only. I did get a part refind, otherwise it would have been a Neg. Thanks for the help on this.
And hopefully this thread will help people to stay clear of this Latvia fake peddler.
$50US will not make me any money. I paid $30 shipping also. Who said I didn't like it? I like the battle damage.
Well, for me Your problem with that helmet seems a little bit strange. You got it almost for nothing. You think is it a fake and somebody faked it to sell it for 70 bucks. I do not belive someone will do it. Not because I know many latvians but because it is just stupid to do it. I do not know that seller but it just does not seems logical.
OK, You paid $30 for shipping. My offer is: I will pay You the full sum You paid for it, I will pay for the shipping. OK? If not - what is the problem? Is it still a pretty good helmet for $50 You actually paid for it?
EDIT--- please do your negotiating via PM and not in full view of the forum thank you

There are 8 Relic helmets for sale in the classifieds on this forum from well respected members ( yes one is mine ) some of which have been for sale for some time so why do people continue to get fleeced or buy junk on flea bay !!!
Some of the prices might be cheaper but liked many things you get what you pay for and if you want something for nothing you are going to get junk and or fakes !!

Why? It's because ebay has buyer protection and there is deals to be had, bidding is fun etc. I do buy outside ebay as well.
But I still looking for a luft decal relic, you have one?
Frundsberg, I understand you want to defend Latvian friends. And there is many good Latvia sellers and diggers. But these decal are fake 100%. Whether seller knew they fake or others give to him to sell and they faked it, we don't know.
I told you it does make sense. He was hoping for more money, like $150. It was auction not buy it now price. I paid $99US total. IF this guy didn't have item auction information private [why???] you could see this. I like the battle damage and will keep it for now.
Merely pointing out that buying from sources you can trust can alleviate many of the problems encountered with the large piles of junk that get sold every day on fleabay !! I thought this thread was about such items !!
I did have a nice Relic DD Luftwaffe helmet from Narva but unfortunately it has been sold,

Yes makes sense, but there are also many GOOD eBay Latvian sellers and other good European sellers and diggers, where deals sometimes can be had.
