I am with you Morris and have posted about the treatment he gives otherwise restorable vintage horns. The one that upset me most recently was a nice Vega he ruined. The general feedback that I got was support for Alucard and comments that "I should have bid more."

Well I could have but the real problem is that people continue pay 3-10 times more than the horn would have fetched before his treatment. So, unless people quit paying him to do this he will keep on ruining ould classic horns.

I tried to buy a horn from him at a profit over what he paid but without the treatment. He would not take the offer and eventually sold the horn for more than what I was ble to offer. It must be relatively inexpensive to perform his treatment.

The otherthing that bothers em is his claim to be selling off a collection when in reality he is just buying and reselling. Kind of misleading but people still pay the price and seem to be happy from his rating.
