Airing out some dirty laundry

For any of you who think that Scott "Safestuff" Evans is still throwing straight dice and might some day release Marble Man, despite it having been literally years since he's contributed anything to any MAME developer, get this: Apparently he posted an auction on eBay for a Batman arcade PCB, using a photo of a clearly prototype board, to artificially drive up prices. He then sent the winner of the auction a standard retail Batman board, then gave some lame excuse of "Oh, I sold that board already, it must have been an old picture".
Although this transpired on a private e-mail list, I feel the behavior is unconscionable enough that it should be called out publicly.

Well fortunately he is not the only one with a complete cabinet.

I wished I had saved a long ago thread from the old ztnet's MAME.net forum thread where safestuff had replied to a different collector. iirc it was safestuff was annoyed at that collector for not giving up some item to safestuff. It had to do with one of the Atari games, but I don't remember what game it was, but it was some cabinet hardware component piece that sfestuff wanted for his own cab.
btw: There used to be a youtube clip from a movie scene from the 1973 version of Dillinger [Warren Oates playing role as John Dillinger] that would fit in nicely with this post, but the clip is no longer available.
