Anyone who is purchasing magazines or "vintage ads" from Cafe-King, Auction-Mania! Or Silvrrein on Ebay should be aware that these three sellers are operated by the same individual. Potential buyers should also note certain problems that are common to many buyers:
Non-delivery is a recurring problem.
Late delivery (2 months or longer) is a recurring problem.
Failure to receive promised refunds is a recurring problem.
Angry or abusive email responses from the seller is a recurring problem.
Failure of the seller to respond to emails is a recurring problem.
The seller's contact phone number provided via Ebay is an answering machine, and not all messages are returned (or acknowledged via email).
The individual accumulates large numbers of negative feedbacks on whichever of his Ebay IDs is currently active, then stops selling on that ID and starts a new one, on which the previous feedback histories are, of course, not revealed. For a thorough overview of the feedback problems, go to these sites:

The individual leaves negative feedbacks in quantities that seem large by Ebay standards — to the objective reader many of these might seem unnecessarily abusive. The follow-up responses often claim that his negative feedbacks are retaliatory. Potential buyers should make their own assessment of that by going to these sites:

Numerous buyers have reported that some or all of the magazines they have received have pages carefully torn-out. When an alternate copy of those issues have been found, it usually turns out that the missing pages contain "vintage ads."
I have tried to downplay my personal assessment of the severity of these issues, so that the reader of this report can make an independent judgment of their own.
