I've never bought from them, but these days I block them for several reasons:
1. They usually don't include pics of their auctions, which is a no no.
2. They charge $8.90 for shipping no matter how small the item is.
3. They post auctions on the US site as a US seller, but they are located in Germany.
I'm not going to pay $9 shipping for a $15 or $20 item. And I don't ebay anything from overseas.

This. I received my items in decent time from Germany, but the list like they're in the US and aren't.
If the shipping wasn't as high, I'd consider using them, if there's a pic. Also agree a pic is a must.

They had an auction for a Gamesday Slann for $168 buyout with no pic. That made me chuckle. An auction for one of the rarest modern WFB models with no pic?
