I can't find his store, and all of the links posted earlier in this thread are now dead. Jerry Burkhardt has posted about.some Saudi revenue fakes he bought from Mr. North, and that's why I looked tonight, but I cannot find him.
Actually this is the lot i won.. :-) a different seller? https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/collection-lot-6046-saudi-arabia-2-revenue-stamps/42616420 not complaining as i like my fake stamps! LOL (for $1+ $2.50 shipping) he also sells Afrika Korps -> see the # of bids! <- https://www.hipstamp.com/store/hellbillyrichard?show=store&keywords=afrika to add, as in the saudi fake overprints.. i suspect that even the cheap stamps are fake so it is not just a fake overprint on a cheap stamp but a total fake item. many many more items are fake there also. high percentage so certainly not an accidental listing and not known. in this case i guess the quality of the fake overprint and fake 5cent stamp is sufficient to fool most of the bidders or they are ok buying fake stamps that are so bad they even give "fake" a bad name.
The air feels cleaner already it’s interesting the seller could have just removed the fake nazi overprinted stamps instead of packing up his briefcase. I guess that was his main act.

Either way, I'm sure this thread was influential in the disappearance. Well done.
How many fakes can you spot in his Auctions? :-) https://www.hipstamp.com/store/hellbillyrichard/?listing_type=auction&limit=96 i counted 18+ and i don't do postal stamps :-) then there is the small matter of the bidding history... and how many of these stamps have been sold here?
