Title: Redneck Anyone?
Post by: Dannywhac on October 22, 2012, 09:36 AM: Yeah, know the seller's a known shyster, but bugger me it's nice seeing them all in one place :)

Post by: SaMAlex on October 22, 2012, 09:52 AM: Mmmmm. Very nice. But $2600 for 8 stems? :idiot2:
Even selling them on their own I can see he'd get £325 each. Or maybe he would? :-\

And he calls them "80s stems". Bless him ;)

("Largest collection known"? Mine aint NOS but I have more Rednecks than that :daumenhoch:)

One man cannot need that many Rednecks Alex, just pop a couple in the post pour mois ;D

Post by: midschooljon on October 22, 2012, 10:29 AM: Some guys on Facebook are saying that seller is a machineist and used to make new items and sell them on as NOS. No one has said those stems are made by him, but general consensus is to avoid his auctions. Apparently he has sold his home made reissue stuff enough times to get him a bit of a reputation in the USA. ::)

Post by: Dannywhac on October 22, 2012, 10:47 AM: Yeah, you can guarantee that even if the stems are kosher, the Wedgie's won't be :)

I have (had) a bag of 10+ wedgies not long ago. I got them off Seventies :daumenhoch:
