Honestly can't remember mate, I'm not even sure how it came up in conversation.
I kept all my old Rs pm's, but this was during an Email chat we had.

ive heard this guys name banted around here for a few years now, so just so im in the loop in a nutshell this guy is bit of weirdo, once back in the day was a good sw vintage collector known in many vintage circles and was a expert on uk and euro baggies and had a vast collection of said items. but one day after a while he used his knowledge and starting producing fake baggies for what ever reason made vasts amount of £, got caught out big time, changed alias within the community several occasions and has continued selling fakes but he also sells genuine ones also.....

& has a bit of an odd & disturbing fetish - bar that I think you summed it up pretty well :|

 

[**Delboy75**]

Thing is he could still be amongst us.
I'd bet at the very least he still reads the forums.

Wow..he was uploading pictures as recent as yesterday..

Loving the rarities he is amassing..,factory errors and non sonic welded figures..(lol) perhaps we are going to get a second wave of tampered with Billy figures?

Liam if you are happy with the baggie and its legitimacy then that is all that matters, at least with you guys buying from him it has exposed him again. Always nice to keep tabs on Bill!

I had some email chats with Billy about Palitoy when I was starting out in the hobby pre baggygate and he knew his stuff back then.

The pink bear stuff looks like a fetish!

Everything looks pukka in those pics, obviously with Unpainted stuff you need to see it up close but I do know Bill owned tons of factory errors as he was photographing them for his 'book' (good luck with that one Bill)
I wouldn't touch one from him personally, way too risky IMO.

since you're reading this **** knuckle Billyboy, one day you'll be crying in a ditch wondering why life has ****ed you over. Just remember all the lies you've told & the money you've stolen from people. Always keep some lube in your pocket to ease the pain. Karma doesn't always come back to bite you but I guarantee family members & people close to you will have a hard time too.

Temporarily locking this guys - nothing to worry about but please hold off on opening any other threads about Bill for now. Thanks!

Just to let you know we have received an email explaining that its billyboys family selling the item....cough..ahem.

in full admittance that fakes were sold and money was taken and never repaid, i think a sensible way to move forward without threats would be to arrange a meetup and for people to be paid back what they are owed, maybe the profits from these star wars sales she be given to the people who were sold fakes eh.

this will be discussed across the forums so feel free to join in if you are reading this, private PM's will be dealt with properly.
