A dealer disappears

This is the story of a record dealer called Soufriere1 from Canada.
He's obviously something of an expert.
Possibly a nice dude.
Almost certainly a little flakey.
Maybe something of a rip-off artist.
However things went belly-up.
Maybe owing to personal problems.
Maybe mounting debts.
One can track the fallout across the net:

He defends his use of patois here

More kvetching about the patois and then on...

This is his old eBay feedback where one can see things going wrong.

He gets himself a new eBay alias.

The winning bidder here fucks up his auction of an item. Clock their name.

People complain about his attitude here.

The full tale of woe, some people defend him, but many present tales of being burnt.

Where is he now?
It's a matter of time before his latest eBay alias is cracked.
Certainly if he presents his sales in the same way.
The story is interesting in the way in which it opens up that tension between anonymity and reputation.
