I almost gurentee the claw has been put in from the bottom. Besides other reasons, it looks tampered with.

Just imagine how far in life Alex could really have gone if he had just invested all his dishonest energy into something legitimate. He could have been a great person, but he'd rather play games with fake ebay accounts.

Hell, he might have even moved out of his mom's house by now if he had his priorities straight.

I’m calling question to the authenticity of the purple claws, the last one and the purple arch look too shiny to be used and vintage.

I don't doubt the authenticity of the figures Alex puts up for sale. It is the seller himself that is inauthentic.

I don't know man...I wouldn't put anything past him...ANYTHING!

Well...He does have a lot of money on his hands. That, and pure unadulterated greed, can do that to people.

I vote we stop giving AF ANY attention anymore here at LRG. His f%#*ery is already well known enough around these parts.

I think that's the point though because it affects his bottom line, plus letting members know and giving them the 411

I saw that his last Purple Claw "sold" for $500 something bucks (I'm sure he was looking for a grand)

That in itself is a moral victory, I really think had the listing not been called out it would have sold for much higher.

OK kayfabe, on that point I can agree with you...It might even spare some newbies to the M.U.S.C.L.E. collecting community a lot of grief and lost money than otherwise, had they not known beforehand :thumbsup:

What happened?

 

Has a second one been listed or did this one get re-listed?

A new member just mentioned acquiring a 4 Pack with a Purple Claw. Maybe it was the 1st listing?

I was lazy. Different figures in the two packs.

 

I'll be mentioning it tomorrow on UofM.

One other question, was anyone here a bidder (besides the winner)?

 

I hope there is. I hope it was mostly LRG members. If it wasn't, then old school M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors have a new and bigger problem.

So this interesting tidbit may border on doxxing, and I don’t know if this forum is OK with that. If not, then please remove it. If it’s not a problem, then enjoy:

To connect the dots, Forbes is getting married to someone named Alexandra Giglio. The eBay account being discussed in this and other threads is “algigli0”. He is using his fiancé to dump an increasingly suspicious amount of desirable purple M.U.S.C.L.E.s on eBay.

Thank you

Removed your post.

Was that a public Facebook page? If so, it isn't really doxxing. However, she isn't a public name here, so we will leave the reference to her off the board even if he is semi-involving her by using her eBay account to sell the purple claw 4-packs..
