Where have you been? Just the parts box sold for $3800 on ebay a few months ago and it was won by a single bidder. This was a supreme deal as far as over priced ancillary TSMG accessories go!

I know that I need my head examined, but I just bought the rod for my Colt 1921 and FBI case. But, I have the original case, and need that rod to go with it, I guess.

Exactly AZDoug. For instance, maybe someone could tell me if that is genuine Colt string (numbered or not)!

The asshat who paid 4K for a tin box is in the lead right now IMHO.

warning!! Frank Gallati

Just to warning on this guy. A few days ago, he posted some Colt Thompson accessories to include a spare parts kit, semi complete at $2000. I called him within a few minutes of the posting (on this board) , I asked if it was still available. He said yes, that I was the first caller. I told him I would take it. He said it was mine and to add $15 for shipping. I said money would go out same day. About 6:oo that night I get a call from another dealer asking me questions about how to tell if a spare parts kit is authentic. I asked if the pertained to the kit that was on the board earlier today. I told him I had already purchased it. He said no, Frank sold it to him! I spent all day trying to track down Galati, he finally left me a voice mail saying that the kit was sold to someone else and he would try to get another one at the Creek. My guess is that he got more money from the other guy. The reason that I'm writing this is that there may be other guys who have sent him money for the kit or other items he was selling. This guy is a real stroker without any ethics! The guys name is Frank Gallati in MO.

Oh sure! Dealers in WWII TSMG parts are all honorable Mother Teressa's. Perfidy knows no boundaries. No doubt dealers in Colt parts for your Mattel Toy are all above board.

Great job on the part of the readers... I have been burned one time, took time to locate the person, but after a long time got my money back. An EBay purchase.

It is my opinion his demand was so high that he realized that he was so underpriced. I too received an email that he sold the metal spare parts kit to somone else, funny he did not mention that when I spoke to him, or that I needed to overnite funds to get it to beat someone else. He is going to sit on this stuff and quietly sell it for it's real value to a collector. I know one guy I will never deal with again.
Arthur as for your comment on the drop in prices on metal spare parts kits, I don't see it. The last "empty" metal kit that sold was for $3,750 I hardly consider that a price drop. Price drop from what? What would it cost to find original parts to fill that one?
Further, I do not consider this last transaction and we are not sure that anything really moved for $2,000 was a real transaction, maybe more a slip of ignorance. It was also missing key pieces as the firing pin was not Colt and there was no original extractor or chamber price. Chamber brush would be easy to find, now the firing pin and extractor would take some doing. Regardless I guarantee Frank realized he underpriced it to the market, whether he shipped it or not.
On the other hand all of us woke up big time on this guy, Frank. I bought stuff from him before and now never will be able to deal with him again.
