There's no "a" about it, and it has been happening for a while.

I didn't know about Pam's experience until this week. That's Carl and Dean's "mistake" plus one.

I did know about Dean buying Thunderbird chips from Rene at the convention a couple years ago for $25 each, listing them on ebay without disclosing the new find, and entering the convention wearing a fake name tag that had the name "Tony" on it. That's Carl and Dean's "mistake", plus Pam, plus a blatant example of witholding information on items made available for sale, plus his entering the convention bourse floor wearing a fake name tag.

Throw into the mix the deal where Dean sold Rich Hanover a chip that wasn't what he pictured in an eBay auction, and we have six "mistakes" that appear to be outright shady dealings at best.

This current series of threads didn't start out of the blue. They started as a reaction to Dean Clark's post in this forum promoting his new website.

His problems with the CC & GTCC aren't with the members of the club as to why he isn't a member. He states that he makes many sales to club members. He could easily ignore members who rub him wrong. ...but, he can't run his business and adhere to the CC & GTCC code of ethics....

The "dead horse" pointed us to his new webpage.

Apologizing for Dean's past behavior is very unbecoming...
