The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hi guys,
did a little browsing around on Etsy after following Retrogardes link to his Cigarette Packs there and discovered a guy calling himself MovieGunsInc he seems to be selling a lot of Colonial Marine Gear at HORRENDOUS prices! I also suspect that he is the same scam artist I bought a "Genuine Pulse Rifle Data Card" from on Ebay a while back, as he is also selling them on Etsy and his spelling it as "Manuel" is a bit of a giveaway.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Looks like auctionsherpa (or whatever he changed his ebay name to). Same pics for the same overpriced gear anyways.

Exact same items for sale/pictures, so it's definitely Auctionsherpa/Auroraproject2011.

A jerk.

Wouldn't give him my last dollar if my life depended on it.

The "best" one is the $50 "pulse rifle sling" (which is clearly just a canteen strap).

Oh the humanity.!!
Sadly s/he wouldn't have them listed if people weren't buying them at that price.

I do like how s/he is using other peoples images though.

A grand for armour, a grand for a pulse, and 300 quid for a helmet??? Spat must love when morons post such horrendously overpriced stuff thatd rives more business h
is way, I know I would :D


Christ, for 1,200 quid, I could buy THREE live SMLEs, or get an SMLE and a metric fuck-ton of ammo to use on the range. For 1,200 bucks I could get a live firing Vickers hmg!!!
Love how he takes a horrid dig at model kits, but fails to mention the fact his costs 6 times more than some model kits.....

Can't find it, so I could be very wrong.
But I'm certain the name was mentioned in conjunction with some very poor armour. Sorry can't be more useful

Here is a thread I startred about him concerning his business practices:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12339

In this case it is about his blatant lying when describing a GRiD laptop; claiming it was the same model used in "Aliens" when it clearly isn't, and not even close.

Also has an example of how he reacts when called out.


Goofball. Don't give him your money.

He's the dick behind Golden Armour, don't even consider it.

Someone to avoid when it comes to armor.
Members here have bought his pieces and every one has regretted it.

Anyone know if Golden Armor and Auction Sherpa were ever members here?

In my head is sticking this image of them standing before a AL tribunal, having their Legacy and USCM patches ripped off before pulling an about-face and being escorted out the door. Now they are out there, bitter and defiant. Lurking in the shadows like mercenaries with an axe to grind and using their training for evil...


At least thats how I picture it.
