Hi, I can tell you about my experience with his auctions. I have won 2 of his auctions, one for the Venetian Opulence Barbie and one for the Arabian Nights set. I didn't have any problems either time. The only thing that was different is when I won the Venetian Opulence Barbie he was accepting money orders, for the Arabian Nights he had switched his policy to Paypal only. The dolls and boxes have been in great condition, the only thing I noticed is there is a black slash on the bottom of the box on the UPC. I am assuming he gets his mdse. from one of the Toy Clubs in CA, but I don't know that for sure, and that is why his starting bids are so low. I am having a hard time not bidding on more of his auctions, but I can't afford to keep using Paypal, don't need to run the credit card up. :) Plus, I am getting ready to go to the Barbie Convention in Denver next week. Yippee!!!!!!!!! If you don't feel comfortable bidding on his auctions, then you shouldn't. Hope this helps and hope I didn't run my mouth too much.
