Forum feedback thread. | G&B interview #1 & #2 | https://www.instagram.com/_harry_seven_/
I called the guys at Reverb, no DoS reported. Turns out that this guy's definition of "denial of service attack" is "a few people from a forum reporting his Reverb listings for being inaccurate and possibly false".
He actually went on Twitter to Linode, claiming DoS, tagging the FBI again asking them if ignoring such things is how they treat army veterans, so I called him.
Oh, dear god. When I suggested that was a definition of "denial of service" that nobody else in the world used, he lost it and started yelling at me. So I said that, since he has an active forum account and was now claiming defamation, he should flag all the threads and comments with his concerns because we have too much content to be expected to read it all (as per the law).
"That's a laugh, you've got a tiny little forum with maybe fifty comments a day, it's worth nothing and I know all the big players in the industry, they all think your pathetic little site is completely insignificant, Just delete everything!" (paraphrased for brevity)
"Err...if we're so insignificant, why are you so upset about this?"
That was the point where he hung up on me. I still, to this day, don't know why (oh, and when I asked Linode about the complaint and what was happening, they said they hadn't bothered to contact me because it was obviously a nuisance compaint with no substance).
EDIT: For what it's worth, when I was talking about server logs proving there was no DoS going on, and that unrelated people reporting listings on Reverb didn't constitute a DoS, he told me I was clearly a low-grade nobody who'd never worked in IT, and he knew this because he's a serious engineer who's been doing work for "huge global companies" for years. As well as being a US Army and Air Force veteran, and being a world-famous purveyor of high-end gear who hob-nobs with the elite musicians and company execs of the industry.
I'll admit, I found it a little difficult to take him seriously
Looking at his Reverb shop prices he seems to only want those customers who are prepared to pay *anything* for a particular item they want more than anything else.
Some of his items for sale are more than what you'd buy them from a shop from, particularly the studio gear.
Also, I'm pretty sure he is a grade A bullshitter.
Take this: https://reverb.com/item/27112793-chandler-limited-abbey-road-emi-tg2-mic-pre-legendary-two-channel-preamp
He says there that "We are a Chandler dealer".
But if I go to the Chandler website and look at the dealers list there is nothing to indicate he is.
He's also selling it as a 'new' product which only a dealer can do.
I'm pretty sure that if you ever tried to get any sort of support out of him you'd struggle.
The SSL 6000E console he has for sale is about twice as expensive as others have sold for too, approaching the price of a brand new AWS924 with a warranty.
It seems that many products he has for sale is in some way owned by a famous person and he basically doubles his price for provenance that cannot be actually demonstrated.
