Hello Mark,

First: it is too obvious and visable to everybody (because Mr. deForest posted that directly by himself!) that he sold his Allach cup to me right in this thread.

I can forward you all the E-mails that he send to me: first (09.02.) he said that "something has arisen and cup not available at this time."

Then (10.02.): "Hello and again, the piece is unavailable. If money is received, it will be duly returned. Please do NOT send money. Thank You, Regards, Lloyd."

Then (10.02.):"Hi again, it is my understanding that the german authorities do not want or permit Allach pieces into Germany and I will not even attempt to circumvent German policy by sending this piece to you."

It goes on in my next reply...
