If anyone comes across feller named Robert Michael, offering to sell you gear DONT DO IT! He's a fraud. One of my guys lost a good amount of money that he is in the process of reclaiming, as well as at least four or five other fellers that I have come across.....
 
Seems to be mostly hitting the FB B/S/T pages.. and he has sold and resold flies, knapsacks, ground clothes, shelter halfs, odds and ends, a musket. In the case of one of my new troops, he sold him a rifle, rubber blanket, shelter half and odds nd ends, and then sold someone else the exact same items. Tracking numbers never match up, he cant keep a story straight between UPS and USPS, and merchandise never ships.... the guy is a total fraudster. Everyone that has done business with him has gone through paypal for refunds... Stay away from this guy!

Is this a private guy or does he have a company/sutler name?

I hope they have reported him to Facebook. He needs to be stopped. Thanks for the warning to everyone.
 
Yeah, he's popped up on... either Trade Blanket or the Civil War Traders group several times now, and I've seen multiple people warning others about him. Sounds like a real piece of work. It's a shame, too, because the used gear market is great for people starting out in the hobby (especially people who are trying to buy more authentic stuff), and I've had really good luck with everyone I've dealt with- no issues whatsoever as far as stuff getting to me, items as described, et cetera. It sucks that someone would take advantage of people in a relatively small community where (I think) most folks are pretty trustworthy and want their word to mean something.
 
It is well that at least we have been informed. Spread the word wherever and whenever you can.
