Yup, most definitely. There's a pudgy guy who runs a booth at all the shows here, soupbowl haircut, glasses, looks a lot like Dr. Octopus from Spiderman 2. I bought one of the FEG HiPower copies from him a few years back. He had it marked as NIB. Took it to the range that day, trigger fell out pn the third shot. Took it to a smith, he said there was a part of the trigger mechanism missing, it would cost around $40 to replace. I asked him about peening the pin, he said DO NOT do it. Took it back to the vendor. He refused to give me my money back, offering to peen the pin even after I told him what the smith had said. I managed to get partial credit towards a flintlock pistol. Took the flintlock to the car, cut the ziptie that is required at all the shows here, and lo and behold it wouldn't cock. Seized up solid. I marched back inside and demanded my money back. He refused. I then informed him that if I didn't get every penny back immediately, I would stand by his table for the rest of the show and tell my story to everyone who paused at his table. He coughed it up. He counted out onto the glass display case 3 $100 bills, and 5 $20 bills, picked them up, and handed them to me. At this point, I had a single $1 bill in my wallet, nothing else. Put the money he handed me in my wallet, went straight home, no stops anywhere. When I got home I went to take the money out of my wallet, and guess what I had? 2 $100 bills, 5 $20 bills, and the $1 bill. The guy had cupped one of the $100 bills off the bottom of the stack when he picked them up off the glass case and handed them to me. I went back to the show and complained to one of the promoters, and several policemen who were present. Got the same story from all, it was my word against his, wouldn't hold up in court.
Be VERY careful not to do business with this guy if you're ever at a show in the North La. area.
Oh yeah, I still see him every show, buying and selling without an FFL, with that FEG for sale marked as NIB. He ended up spot welding the pin in place then buffing it down and rebluing over it.
