Stellacon -- the free parking lot flea market was well run (thanks, Drew!), had a good selling day and got a hot dog to boot. A great day! Thanks for doing this. |

Too bad the company is run by crooks. |

Editor are you referencing the credit card fraud/identity theft? Because if so absolutely they were crooked. My understanding is that Rick Berry served his sentence and paid his dues to society. If so I would say it's time to let it go. It's been almost 15 years. If it is something else then please detail your accusations. |

I agree with "Editor in Chief Bill" screwed me over once or twice, on back-orders – strange folk. |

How so? I'm legit curious not critical because I've used them in the past with good results but it's been four years and I'm contemplating another order now |

With me it was a Paypal issue – backorder items were over 6 months and won Paypal issue – but was never payed back. After waiting and waiting for refund I gave up and send an E-mail donating the $30.00 USD to their coffee fund and told them sorry that they were so hard up about money Never heard from them – not even a thank you. That was about 6 years ago – never ordered from them again. So they might have gotten better with their customers now – buyer be ware. |

Rick Berry ran up quite a large advertising bill with us, which Michigan Toy Soldier refuses to pay or even discuss with us. So in my mind, they are still crooks. |

Two transactions with them … there won't be another. |

I've had no issues with them. I order stuff from them every month or so |

Those are both valid. When I ordered one item was on back order. They sent me the rest promptly and about a month later I got an email informing me they were refunding me for the back ordered item because they weren't sure they could even get it (March-April of 2020 so understandable). |

I believe that is referring to the 2011 Peter Jackson credit card theft. He used Jackson's account to purchase about $100,000 USD or more of merchandise to restock his retail store. If I remember correctly, he has since paid all of that back and also served some jail time, but was also allowed to keep the merchandise if he agreed to properly pay for it. I've never shopped there so I don't have any further insights. |
