For all of you who collect old GW models (that\'s stuff mostly from the 80\'s - the classic stuff), I just thought I\'d mention a couple of rogues who you might wish to avoid dealing with.
There\'s a guy on Ebay selling under the name of \'mac-ace\', he\'s based in Kansas City (US) I believe, who is reputed to be a rather productive re-caster. He always has a lot of \'old\' GW models for sale. Besides those buyers who know their stuff, the big giveaways are the fact that everything comes pre-undercoated (ideal for hiding the colour of the metal used), and of course there\'s the frequency at which the guy has certain models or sets of models available. How many identical 40k squads can one guy supposedly dig up?!
Then there\'s a fella in the UK (Sheffield area) by the name of Mark Hydes (I\'ve seen his surname spelt differently and a very poor German style surname that involved a \'z\' somewhere in it!). This guy has too many user ID\'s to list and various e-mails. Some folks have had good dealings with him, others have had problems, and others have been ripped of by him from the stories I\'ve heard. A bit of a dodgy character all round really.
