That greek guy was initially selling that Target few weeks ago (together with first Vulture) but it didn't reach the reserved price ...

Am I being paranoid or does this really have "ex-pe-di-tor" written all over it?
yes: this gal is the same guy...100%

Yeah, it's ex-pe-di-tor...
you know why???
Because that Destroyer 666 demo I sent him a few months ago.
he begged me for it, and was going to send me some stuff in return, but I never got anything.
It's a 1st gen copy of my original! Original tape is plain black.

… then I explain to you as it would have gone: (it appeals to me because I have followed all the movements of the sale) i follow this seller greek from when he was called in another nick. The CD of Vulture and Target they had the reserved price.
At the end dell' auction only the Vulture had exceeded the price of reserve, the Target is NOT SOLD... .. MAH!

So who is this guy? What is his real name? I guess "deathfiend666" and "diabolical slaughter" are pissed off because most probably they spent hundreds of dollars on bootlegs... unbelievable. Of course now they are forced to believe and prove they got original tape for 200USD or 300USD.

I bought the Master's Hammer demo from ex-pe-di-tor because I got confirmed from a czech friend that it looked on the auction like those that were sent out by the band.
Now I didnt see them popping up again but others like Impiety
And many of the demos share a detail with the xerox band logo label on tape which is suspicious (see Jurassic Jade).
The Barathrum demo by the other account is a fake because it originally had a pro cover and tape

I guess they are all boots and I was fucked over too. Very clever scam artist.

I remember those Masters Hammer and Satanic Evil demos were done in the same style. If I find the pix I post them here.

The Master's Hammer demo has this logo label too.

Apperantly the original ones had a similar style, unfortunately.

I guess a lot of people were fooled. Even I was fooled at the beginning thinking he was selling originals, though I never bought from him. Who would suspect anything when the seller can add letters and details to the auction? Ofcourse, when the letters turn out to be fakes...
My guess is it's not someone new to the scene, because in the end he still knows a lot of details about the bands, obscure compilation tapes they might have appeared on. On the other hand, with the internet everybody can find atleast some bit of obscure information always.
The worst is that in a few years, the buyers will be selling their bootlegged tapes again confirming that they got this from a very reliable source and definately originals, which they are not. Glad to see that atleast with this new account, there has been a preemptive strike on his feedback.

Yeah if I'd seen these before I probably would have been prevented to shell out 60€ for the Master's Hammer demo.

edit: sorry if the tenses are fucked up

Yes thats true, do not forget sellers like afm4500 + some more (who mentioned Argentina?)...

I asked that seller this simple question:

Are you Mike (ex-pe-di-tor)?

And this was the reply:

What's up?
I got yer message and i gotta be honest.
You are the 4th person to asked me that since the first auction I posted, sometime last week.
So this is very awkward for me.
I've been told that because my pictures are pasted from my online photobucket site, I must be mike because that is what he did.
I've also had people think that because we both live in ohio, it must be the same person.??
I have to laugh at that one.
But in all honesty I know mike very well. We never dated or anything but we have attended shows together through acquaintances and called eachother evry so often and talked about metal.
His wife though we were having an affair but nothing happened because i'm not just some slut. I believe in true commitment and so does mike.
But his wife left him last year sometime and he was bummed. But i recently contacted him because i was bummed and he helped me to set up an ebay account. Plus he showed me all his secrets that gave him success. He also brokedown and said that the reason for his failures and late shipments was because of depression of having lost his Family. He actually is not allowed to step foot in His wife's house which is owned by her dad. Because her dad thinks he is not good enough for his daughter (over some Bullshit), so the only time he see's them is when she goes back to the home that he built for HIS Family. It's some unfortunate shit. He has no internet, otherwise I'd have you email him. After i sell some of my demos, I will use some of the money to get his feet back together for hooking me up with an ebay account. Read my ME page to learn more about me. The pic is not me, it's an animation, but it describes how my heart feels had I shown it through my physical side. So, once I sell some of my tapes, i want to pay mike's cable bill, his ebay fees and his postage costs. Just so he can start selling his demos and LPs again.. I don't have much contact with him because his wife is extremely jealous so i will paypal him.
