This account was probably taken over by scammers: https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=dennisvanooijen

It has no new seller feedback since 2018 but just listed old and rare sets recently.
Also listed the new Dungeons & Dragons box of 36 for only 90 EUR.

Better not placing orders, it seems too good to be true. Member has been reported.

They had a lot of buying history recently though. I wonder why they have unregistered
the user rather than temporarily suspended them.

Probably it wasn’t the admins, the account is now reactivated, already listed
an AT-AT UCS for only 500 EUR.

No paypal onsite payments will stop the majority of potential buyers being scammed!

I hope he's real and is back!
He's a great guy building rides. We had many orders from him (and his friends).
