Hi all, Is this person a member on the forums here? He seems to have a ton of articles and alot of original DMC paperwork from the factory. I'm always interested in obtaining info and factory pics on both my current and former DeLoreans. Has anyone here purchased from this person before and how did it go? Also if you are a member here please PM me I am very interested in obtaining any information possible on these two cars. Thanks!
Checking would be easier if you provide a link to the related e-bay page.Quote:

I don't believe he is a member here.
One thing I know for sure, if he tell you he is selling original documents, original documents you will get.
I bought a lot of documents from him, check his feedback, not a single complaint.
I know others who bought from him too, I meant others from this forum. Do not expect to buy Delorean signed documents very cheap either!

I've seen his ads before and I think my wife may have bought a few trinkets off him in the past for my birthday or Christmas. But he seems to have incredibly rare one off items. I was hoping he was a member here. I'm always hoping I'll come across an old document or picture regarding my current and former cars.
He's one of the son's from the law firm that dealt with the creditors against JZD/DMC. I've actually been to their offices in Detroit before to interview the lawyer who dealt with this over 20 years. They sell these original items as a way to raise more money for the people who were owed money from DMC. I've bought a lot of stuff from them, and it's all legit. Some stuff they have is multiples (original copies, etc). So your best bet is to buy original items with original sketches, etc. They have file cabinets full of stuff, pretty incredible.

I do not know about thse things. Pretty easy to reproduce.
I bought a so called original plan of the production facility at Euofest. There was a guy selling those right there among with the vendors, next to DMC selling parts. The plans look darn original and aged. I asked the seller where this came from and he told me he noticed dumptrucks driving back and forth the plant and the dump after the bankruptcy. He decised to follow the trucks and nose between what they were trowing away. He found boxes full of plans he said. I talked to one of the former employees later that day and he reacted it is just a scam, no way these are real.
So be careful with those things is what I'm trying to say.

Tamir knows what he is talking about, so I am.
If you buy from DMCSELLER, you are buying the real deal, some times he sells copies but he will tell you that fact.
Just be careful, DMCSELLER on ebay, not DMCSELLER anywhere else.

I wonder if in his stash of documents he's got the manufacturing detail print for the binnacle:wiggle:
He might, but it would be worthless now. Binacle is one of the easier parts to make.

?? why should it be deleted??? Seems like there is good info on the veracity of DMCSELLER here.
Simple:
People still skeptical, even people who "KNOW", still believe he is selling copies or reproductions, this thread is going no where.
And the second reason, the more people interested, the less chance for me to buy cheap! :D
I used to buy some documents for less than $20.00, now some even go for $1000's
Admins here knew of this seller for long time but, they ever volunteered to start a thread regarding this seller?

I was joking when I said to close this thread.
Bet not everyone is willing to share those documents as you do!

I've slowed down considerably in buying these things because it got too expensive and was exhausting. I now reserve purchasing for only super rare items that trickle their way directly to me rather than on eBay.

I can't answer for others, but I suspect most collect because they like the subject matter and have that obsession that goes with collecting things. I don't think investment value plays into it. I could think of a lot better things to invest money in than Delorean artifacts.
