Well, good morning to you all, or afternoon, or whatever. First off Mr. Roundbadgedude, I was not complaining about missing out on the deal. I wasn't even a member here until well after this offer was made. I was simple referencing the facts that had been made previously in this thread and how they could lead someone to the conclusion that there were no drums for sale in the first place. This, Mr. Snurf, should be a concern to the entire forum. If somebody, anybody is making fraudulent claims in their offers. I think the well intentioned members should be aware of who they are dealing with and not have it hidden away in a PM just because it makes you uncomfortable.Mr. Roundbadgedude,[COLOR="Orange"] I have read almost ever post that Mikey777 has made on this forum[/COLOR] and I will be the first to admit he knows a great deal about vintage drums and has provided many, many members with parts they probably couldn't have gotten without him. I'd even go as far as to say that I am convinced that he is a great asset to this forum, as long as one sticks to actual vintage drums and their several parts. But, once he starts in on his personal stories they are, I'm sorry to say, complete fabrications. I can say this without reservation because I have done my research and have managed to find out who Mikey777 really is.Mikey777, I have no intention of outing you here on this board. I've given it a great deal of thought, and although you may be a liar when it comes to your personal life, I can't find where you've ever cheated anyone. And, as I said before, you are a great asset to this forum. I'll leave it at that for now, Mikey, but remember, the Internet only provides so much anonymity and anyone who knows what they're doing can find out pretty much anything they want. You may think you can get away with coming on a board like this and making yourself out to be someone a great deal better than you really are. But the facts about your truly pathetic existence are out there if your know where to look.Oh, and one more thing before I sign off here. Mikey777, is English your native language? If so, where the hell did you go to school?Philly (Mr. Know-It-All) Veritas

I read this one and several others that were posted by Mikey777 and for some reason things just don't add up. So, I've been doing a little research. Just so you'll know, I'm a retired newspaper reporter that worked for many, many years at the largest newspaper in Orange County, CA. So, I'm used to digging up facts. And usually when my instincts tells me there's something wrong, they're right.[COLOR="Red"]So, this thread... Mikey777 said he was posting these 40 drums on this forum before he put them on ebay, so this was his only source for buyers. He said that he would sell them on a first come first served bases and apparently he sold all 40 drums within 2 hours, exclusively to members of this forum.[/COLOR] Yet nobody on this forum seems to have purchased any. Mikey777, what happened to the 40 drums? Did you ever really have them?[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]His Christmas Present story has some questionable math to it also. He states he left at 1:30 am and he dropped off the last set at 7:00 am. So let's see, that's 5.5 hours to drive 500 miles.[/COLOR] So, Santa/Mikey777, you were doing 100 mph and your brother was throwing the sets off the back of the truck while you sped by?I don't know Mikey777. Maybe you just like to exaggerate, or maybe you flat out lie. You've got me curious now and I'm going to have to do a little more research.
[COLOR="orange"]Wow, you've been busy the past 4 days....!
Unless you started reading before you joined on the 26th of December.....
1200 or so posts a day....?
Shoot, let's jut call it 1000.... at 30 secs per post.... I know, a bit long, but you would need to read the entire thread, not just Mikey's post to make any sense of them.....
[COLOR="orange"]So 500 minutes.... 8 hrs+ per day for four days straight.........??
I'm calling bull**** on that one. [/COLOR]
[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]When was that stated?.... "exclusively to members" and the "only source for buyers before going to eBay"?
If I missed it, I apologize..........[/COLOR]
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Who gives a crap how long it took him to do it, at least he did it, or are you saying that's a fabrication?[/COLOR]
