http://www.tube-classics.de

The other Ebay ID he uses is "tube-classics".

I've had long emails back and forth with him...

That's obviously a funny thing

I also know the guy Karsten Schmidt with the website http://www.tube-classics.de and had several emails with him in the past, concerning German made E84L tubes - but in the fake auction with the Mullard's I've won (and not payed) he's correspondend with me as a "Heinz Posingis"

Are there some more names, he's using ?

Larry, he always signed his emails as Karsten to me, but it's been a while since I've emailed him. I used to warn the bidders about the sham auctions they were bidding on, and then he started making the bidding private....boy was he pissed. I see he went back to showing the bidders again. Anyway, I gave up on emailing him and warning bidders.....it's too much effort and you can't make much of a difference that way.

Can't remember who the seller was, but also spotted somebody in the U.K. selling I63 Mullards with a 1965 date code and the LATER LOGO?
The boxes looked right though.
