Ahhhh The Jersey Kid......... He has ruined more Helmets from Boston ! ! Just ruined that L23 helmet selling the device after taking it off the helmet and the helmet is up with someones else selling it!

Nope I think he's selling the newer L23 front he had already (probably at a loss too) and keeping the one he got off the helmet which he bid $335 on but didn't buy. And believe me there wasn't a big difference between the two of the fronts to begin with. He "negotiated" to buy just the L23 front he wanted off the helmet for $99 (or so) after jacking up the price on everyone else.
The "L23" helmet is being relisted by the original seller with no front. I tried to explain the reality of the situation to her, but I don't think she really understood. She'll understand when she can't bring down close to the $335 winning bid price when she could have got $330 from the under bidder if she told the Jersey Kid to take a hike when he wanted to play let's make a deal. But she got her money back after buying the L23 helmet at an auction in Medford a few days before Thanksgiving (which I now kick myself for not going to), so she didn't care. Me I'd be pretty pissed if I was about to lose maybe $100 or so out of my pocket. Funny thing is he could buy the helmet at a lower price now and put it back together and screw her even further.
I was just about to give the kid a second chance after I bought some stuff on ebay from him. He just does not get it. Unless something is completely beyond salvage I don't see any good reason for wrecking a piece of history. What ever happened to not buying something unless you want it and can afford to pay for it?
