I think It's just some kind of mistake, that would be all. Taking quick conclusions like "over there", is not very elegant.

I've just received a p.m. from another member who has informed me that he earlier messaged Bill and/or his son regarding the items discussed here and they will be withdrawn from the site. Problem sorted.

Nobody has said anything remotely bad about Bill as of yet, and we've shown him the upmost respect, even given him the benefit of the doubt. If we have said anything that would be considered to be "bashing", quote it please as I am not seeing it. That said, I agree we all make mistakes, but we're up to three now. This is unlike him and I'm just curious, like Wagriff, if he has possible hired someone new or something.by Gwar
Thank you Ned. I had actually emailed him too, and he responded with the same response.
So what do you ask we do then, not say anything, and allow fakes to be sold so that nobody becomes "gun shy" and stops purchasing from him? Am I interpreting this correctly?
I echo these thoughts all the time..its not the dealers who are at fault..its ourselves who do not study.

Cody...the same goes for a shopping experience..if you dont like the prices or the quality of items in the store..dont shop there. No one is getting their arm twisted to buying anything. The lack of purchases and word of mouth usually reflects the integrity and reputation of the store owner. Ned nailed it head on!!

+1, and it gets to be quite frustrating to hear collectors who refuse to do their own homework complain about this dealer or that dealer who ripped them off. If they'd just do the minimum research required and post prior to buying instead of thinking they've discovered some underpriced one-of-a-kind find of the century, one that everyone else seemed to miss somehow, and because of this have to buy it before it's snatched up then maybe they wouldn't get burned so much. I mean if I can get the basics down, anyone can, lol.
Completely agree Larry, as you can see in my prior post, but just because I like someone doesn't mean I'm not going to bring a fake to the attention of the collecting community. As for Bills reputation, he's doing just fine IMO, and any serious collector should know by now he is one of the honest ones.
I never said we we were bashing ....Let's "NOT BASH" When one says bad remarks about SOMETHING or ANYTHING it is a signal thet some..Perhaps, may take as gospel.. As pointed out by Moderator Stevenson "Too err is human.. To forgive is divine"
Ah, I see now, but you really didn't specify that at first. I had also already made that point in post #5, so I figured you were saying "as a forum lets not bash a site" such as.... has done or is hinting at etc. Anyways, apologizes for that, just a misunderstanding on my part. I, however, still don't quite understand what you meant in post #22.
Now, as for the original topic, does anyone here feel the tab in question could have any kind of connection to the SS?
