Found one at Kitlinx. Have never ordered from them but I sent $ and they sent the deckels. Good company. Order with confidence. Thanks to faclon74 for the back up plan. BMH

Just got a notification from Kitlinx that said the sheet is on the way, so I may have actually found one. Appreciate the reply & thanks, BMH

I found one (I think) but don’t have it in hand yet. You’re the backup if the retailer falls through, and the fact you’re an eBay seller is an excellent reference. I’ll check out your listings. I’m mostly a buyer but have sold a few things there. “Ancat” is my eBay ID. Appreciate the reply. Brinson.

Ha! Same guy just told me to contact “owen,” who had the P-61B sheet I posted a LF last week. Told him I’d found one, and, just curious, why didn’t “owen” contact me directly? Account was 17 hrs old and that was his first post. You probably got his second. No, he and his buddy aren’t going to get any $ from me. Sheesh!

Another scammer. I asked where he was located in case my deal fell through, and he replied “I stay in Miami.” That’s not how distinguished university faculty types talk. Beware of the email above.

Just got another response on HS from somebody with a brand new account. His message to me is his sole posting. Red flag flying high. His contact: collinslyons842@gmail.com Another one to watch out for. There is a Collins Lyons on the faculty at Augusta University in Georgia, but the message used “mate,” like a Brit or Aussie would. The real guy is a distinguished looking older black man. Just doesn’t quite fit. Found the sheet at an online retailer anyway.

I haven’t bought or sold in a while, in fact the honor system still worked last time I did. I’m going to have a stash cull sale soon, so I’ll post pics. I wonder if it’s the same guy who says his friend Ryan Bull is one guy pretending to be two. I bailed on Ryan when he asked if his son’s PP account was OK. Three parties involved at that point. Google saved me some $ and hassle. One search for the HS guy showed he was in Nigeria, the land of princes with millions who need your help and promise a big piece of the action. I’ve never responded to those, but a friend does every time and says

Just for laughs, check out this pleading with me after I said no to the HS guy: From: christophercharels97 Recipient: BrinsonMH 1 day ago [quote="BrinsonMH"]No. Google your name and you’ll see why. We’re done.[/quote] I don’t understand what you are saying Are you still interested or not Please buy from me He understands perfectly.

You’d think he/they would give up at least for today. I messaged Ryan and told him I’d pass because I’d Googled Oltmanneric and found many examples of fraud and attempted fraud. Told the other guy on HS I’d Googled his email and found the same thing. Don’t these hucksters read the forums they use for scams? Small time clowns. They could get dead end low paying jobs and end up wealthier in a lot less time. I guess interstate wire fraud must be fun to them.

Ok, no deal. Near miss, but I’m not out any $.

Oltmanneric’s ARC account is 4 hours old. Not a good sign.

Was the 3rd party who supposedly had what you were looking for named Ryan Bull? Email ryanbull283()gmail.com?

I was. He said a friend had a decal sheet I posted a LF in the plane trading. The friend answered the email I sent and wants to know if his son’s PayPal was OK. The original oltmanneric sent me a private message, not a response on the trading board. The flag is looking redder, will do a little more searching.

That’s exactly how I ended up with a 300 year supply of kits, decals & resin. Life interferes with hobbies. But I’m set if I ever do get some spare time.

No problem, and I’ll hold on to the sheet until you get the other one in hand & it’s yours if the deal falls through. Kinda shocked at how many decal sheets I have in the stash, ditto kits. Hadn’t looked in a while. A brick & mortar hobby shop guy told me years ago if anything new comes out and you think you might want to build it or aftermarket decals or resin sets, buy ‘em while you can. Took his advice and now have a lot of OOP stuff. Just wish I’d grabbed the Superscale Iwo Jima 1/32 P-61 sheet. Now it’s nowhere to be found for sale. I snoozed and losed on
