I just came across this thread and since I have had a couple of dealings with Chris (turbo electronics)I had to read every thread.
I agree that he has some CRAZY prices on some of his items but who on fleabay doesn't, the trick is to pick what you really want and what your willing to pay and roll the dice and pray. I have learned how to use the GET WHAT YOU ORDERED OR ELSE policy when it comes to being satisfied with my purchase. This guy may be a tool but he is not preying on defenseless people or holding a gun to there heads. Are some overpaying and getting screwed out of there money-sure they are and maybe they need to learn from there mistakes. My first purchase off of ebay some 12 years ago or so was a authentic Mauser bayonet with scabbard for 59.95 and I was thrilled when it arrived. A couple of weeks later I was at a local gunshow and came across a guy with a box of those same bayos with scabbard for 5 bucks each
Anyway I would never pay 800$ for a mint cobra 2000 but maybe a person that is not on a budget or even a individual who for whatever reason just has to have it for what ever reason will buy it. You and I call these people crazy,stupid,victims and some even call them dumbasses.
Anyhow this is just one dummies opinion (mine) and I'm sticking to it.
