This guy was selling GI Joe for a while and he was driving the community crazy with his law suits. For instance, you would buy a Grunt backpack for 50 cents on eBay, he would then invoice you 50 cents, plus postage (2 dollars), envelope (2 dollars), wrapping up (2 dollars), petrol (2 dollars). If you would not agree, he would immediately start threathening you with his lawyer. In reality there never was any, but he really believed it. He even tried to ban people from eBay that never bought anything from him!

He also used copyrighted material from YoJoe in his auctions. When the site claimed the rights, he had a fit, started to harrass people by mail, etc. He would send tons of pictures of himself portrayed next to his toys, proving he was a real collector and the pictures were his.
