Although he always seems to find nice militaria he is an e-bay seller of everything, i.e., a jack-of-all-trades and Master of none.

Yes especially if he is not a collector you can't expect him to know everything I suppose. I wasn't aware that he sold anything else except Militaria.

I just had a conversation with someone who knows this seller and, I was told that he used to sell stamps and coins and "branched out" to militaria by picking stuff at the local gun shows. Besides that he knows next to nothing about badges and patches.
