    How bonkers is that !
    Sounds like an attention seeker, probably locked in a dark room on his own as a child by his parents.

    All most of us ask is people to be straight with you, not too much to ask?

    It takes all sorts to make the world go round mate.
    He's let you down a few times but you should just put it down to experience.
    Fair play for flagging it up though, it's worth others knowing.

Most people on here wouldn't have a problem with that and it's an unwritten rule that people I have bought guns from have 'first refusal'.
    To nurek

    Personally speaking I would have just given you the gun and money back and we would have had a brew and then left as friends.

    Lucky

    Guess I way lucky , I put a wanted ad up for a Webly Vulcan , he replied saying he had one and a deal was struck.
    For me he acted perfect , arrived in super quick time and was packed very well.

    Jonny,

    He's not a thief, just a weirdo, eccentric dealer so he has to sell some stuff to make profit. It's just his behaviour and manner... He's not the collector he makes out to be.

    He is notorious for this and I don't know how he manages to stay on here.. He always danced along the line of a trader and a collector with a huge collection. for me he as always been out to get the largest profit possible and is thus a trader..

    I don't know how he survives here when others don#ts

    Piotr is a really good guy...And is a genuine collector... not someone out to make q uick buck..

    Shocked

    I am truly shocked to hear all this as when I done a deal with him I thought he was a perfect gent.

    Oh well you live and learn .

    Thanks Alex, I used to be a shooter, now am more of a collector... a genuine one though

    Sometimes I wish I just had the 1 gun and knew how to use it

    There is no way I would have accepted the extra £100 from you but then again I prefer the value of friendship.

    at onestage Camcoll had several usernames on here... i don't know if this is still the case... I don't have the inclination to find out... But people should be aware... and make their own judgements

    Time wasters are really annoying as are people who don't have the courtesy to respond to PMs or use basic manners when asking for help. Luckily idiots like this are few and far between but still more than you would like to see on this fine forum.

    Kindest regards

    Camcoll is not your ordinary timewaster.. He is a trader, who manages to remain on here despite some dubious practices... Its a shame, but its the case..

    Time wasters are ok to deal with...usually they are simply dreamers without the money... Peter or Keith is not a dreamer...

    Well Barrel, that's a shame.... he will be as nice a pie with you when he wants something, but should you aska small favour from him... He suddenly becomes very cold/rude.. In my case, it was asking for a picture of his Bowkett gun...Which he was pretending to have no idea about and was wanting advice... He rudely refused...

    I know John Bowkett well and he knows Camcoll well too...
