As for the picture. Its the only Bren a had.

Hi Peter, well I assume from what was said this was the only Bren and strangely it does not match what was in the picture he posted, if there was another Bren and it has since been sold then maybe one of the other options may be of use, will wait to see what happens, I can't see anything positive happening, am trying to be flexible on possible solutions, in the end I did not get what I purchased and the seller lives by his own rules which do not work for anyone else. This will end up being a lesson for everyone else.

Actually I think he sold the Inglis first and used the Inglis pictures for the Enfield...but whatever.

I don't like that "Grow Up" comment so it may be he'll just ignore the situation.

Good luck. Peter S.

Received the following by email from Jon Skagfeld, whom I've known well for 35 years, addressed to Adam:

"I found it disturbing that you would misrepresent an item, i.e. the Bren, which you sold through MLU.

I then found out about the shenanigans that you purportedly pulled when you sold my
previously owned Chev 15 Cwt. You also had the audacity to show my picture of it, taken on my lawn, in front of my house, in order to show it for sale.

Then I start to wonder what misrepresentation you might display with regard to other of
your items up for sale in the MLU Forum.

I've now come to the conclusion that your actions indicate a person who cannot be trusted.

It's up to the Forum's owner/moderator for his action in this matter, but I'm filing a formal
request for you to be banned from MLU.

I do this for an altruistic purpose: I'd rather not see another member of this Forum get ripped
off in the same manner."

Unless Adam has an answer for all of this, there seems to no alternative but to remove his posting privileges on MLU. Adam, you have two days.

I bought the PIAT he had for sale on this forum, and was happy with it. No complaints with that deal.

The collecting community is a small one, and a good reputation is a valuable thing. Hard to believe someone would toss it away over a $1200 (or less) deal.
