Gary runs the Beatles 4 me website . So he'd be in step with the other dealers.

I’ve purchased several items from Gary and sold him a couple of items over the years.  I’d give him an A+ rating.

That’s great.  So...if I ever wanted to sell my Lennon book (which I don’t right now), would Gary’s LOA be comparable at all to one from Perry Cox or Frank Caiazzo or Roger Epperson...or PSA or JSA?   Love your handle btw...fab432.

Not wanting to rain on the parade but years ago I had a run-in with Gary; he wanted to purchase a sealed mono Beatles LP from me off eBay for $50. I politely told him "no" and proceeded with the auction - which went considerably higher than $50. While I suppose it's alright to low-ball people, I was puzzled and insulted. Since then, I haven't had much respect for Gary.

I can see both sides.  Gary was hoping to get a great deal for himself which you might say, “Can’t blame a guy for trying.”  But from the seller’s perspective, it’s like, “Don’t insult my intelligence!  Seriously.”  It leaves a bad taste.
