Quoting from one of those auctions:
Rod has been working in conjunction with Martin Napier Company Director Bogner NZ with Electric Guitars and also the prestigious Bogner Amplifiers USA as an extension of supplying a better product to to customers
I believe I won't get a response to my email as I think RC has fallen for the smooth talking, gold plated tongue of this dude...

I find it frustrating that despite all of the unanswered questions on his auctions and numerous people reporting them, for the most part TM are just leaving his shady listings up

Some of you appear to know this Rod Capper, so why don't you direct him to this thread - might give him a different perspective on his relationship with this "goldplated" character.
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.

Great idea. May be better him seeing the collective 'feedback' from all of us rather than contacting him on an individual basis, should at least make him take a step back and think

Not so sure thats a good idea - that might lead to the loon himself coming here, and thats the last thing I'd want!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

As said before, it appears Rod has fallen for this dude and given his permission. Obviously he doesn't realise what character he is dealing with... I have not seen his response to my email so a person who knows him well may be better positioned to alert him.
