I sent an email to them Monday, once I found an active link. I'm wanting to part with an HK P9s Sports Group III package and they auctioned the only other recent one I've seen for a VERY high price.
I think I better wait due to the change. There aren't too many examples being offered on the new S15 Guns on GB and there's probably not much traffic due to the change. Hate to see it go for a penny.
Years ago I asked Jim Brewster about the Woodlawn Boys obvious connection and he affirmed.

I thought maybe he didn't list guns around the holidays and January because of people spending money for Christmas and paying off the credit cards. Cash flow would be slightly down around then. Larry
I also am unable to get him to return messages.
He has 2 of my guns he was to sell for me.
A week ago I sent him a certified letter, waiting to see if I get a response from that.

If I remember correctly, he is the Treasurer of the S&W Collectors Assoc., or was last year. I don't have a Journal around to verify current status, I gave them all to a new SWCA member.
If anyone considering using

OMG, phone disconnected and a new identity at Gunbroker, etc.
Gunbroker may well want to hear about this. Here's a link to them.
Just a moment...

This is completely false information, that you have no idea about...
My shop number is 715-566-3533. I changed it when we moved from a sole proprietor to an LLC.
If its easier than putting up false information, please give me a call....My number is in the journal. But slander on something you dont know about isnt helpful. Thanks
Ive always been a man of my word and those who know me....Know me.
Sorry for any frustration this has caused anyone....

David Carroll owns Woodlawn Boys and is the sole owner of Woodlawn Boys. He has nothing to do with Sarah15 other than he has hired me to photo, list, and ship his items. I do not have any ownership stake in anything Woodlawn Boys or David Carroll. he is a Fellow S&WCA member, Mentor, and friend. He has done nothing but hire me to do a job and I think I have done a great job for David and hope to continue to do so.
Regards and Hope all is well with you and yours.

You have some nice firearms and I have sent you an email response. Obviously you arent going to do business with me, but if you would like some help with a great consignor there are people Id love to recommend for you to help you with your HKs. Just send me an email or PM and I would be glad to point you in the right direction.
Regards
Jim

If your following this I sent you a pm

I said I'd better wait, not abandon "S15 Guns" until thing's smooth out. Most of us had no idea what happened to Sara15. Transitions aren't instant or easy but the results will be worth it for everyone.

Good to hear you're doing OK, Jim.
When your new auctions quit showing up in my email every Monday morning, I started to worry about you. I guess I need to get with the program and follow your new name.

Based on my attorneys instructions I can not disclose anything on this forum. If a consignor wants to reach out privately Id be more than happy to communicate with them. My phone number and email are both in the journal. Or PM me.

YIKES! I have done business with them in the past, including at least twice last year and had nothing but great service from them. Apparently there's some changes happening that can frustrate things sometimes, but I feel sure everything will work out. Jim has been a big part of this forum and an officer of the SWCA for a good while too, and was very honorable whenever I dealt with him. I hope you get your situation resolved in a way that makes both parties happy, John! To me, any time lawyers get involved with things it has a tendency to make things more complicated which can be frustrating.

Brewster off Board
I received a phone message from Bill Cross this morning. Rather than face an ethics panel appointed from our Board of Directors, James Brewster resigned from the board effective immediately.
Additionally, another member of our group in good standing reported that GB advised him that they are suspending the Brewsters from selling on their platform. I personally am owed over $30,000 in consignment fees. No disputes - just no payments. SWCA member M is owed $5000. His name and story are on file with our board. Member V is owed about $13,000 . His name and story are on file with our board.
Apparently Brewster never self reported these egregious matters to the board.
Complainants sought 3 things: 1 ) remove Brewster from the board; 2) remove the Brewsters from our organization , and 3) most importantly, stop further harm from being done.
Brewsters "defense " is that he is being sued by another consigner in Wisconsin state Court, for about $200,000 and has been advised by his attorney not to pay other consigners . Make any sense to you ? No, me either. Hopefully some good member can post a copy of the " can't pay you " letter here for ALL to see.
.
Before I ever heard back from the board or from Brewster, I called the US attorney's Office in Western Wisconsin. Not to gain advantage, cuz I know I won't get my money, but to stop a serial scammer.
Plaintiffs name in Wisconsin lawsuit is Lawler and his attorney's name is Peyton Engel of Madison . Simple case of not paying sales proceeds to the consigner. I will be reaching out to him.
At this point, the evidence is in possession of our board, for a hearing that won't be necessary .
If you are owed money by Brewster on pure consignment deals,pls lay out info below or send me a private PM. I'm not promising to help you personally, I want people who make charging decisions to have a head count. Dave

John Messick $7000.
Well a simple check just now disputes that.
S15 Guns and Sara15 East are still active on GB. Looks like Sara15 East, (DBA LTD Outdoors,) is now helping with woodlawn boys offerings judging by the images.

I'm sorry to say
I too am having a serious issue with sarah15. I am owed $5000. It is now 6 months with no payment. Sara15 sold my guns on GB in Aug of 2024. I received a letter from sarah15 in December 2024. See below.
I had thought I was the only one that had this issue with Sara15.
Once this issue surfaced here on the forum and I realized the growing scope of this matter, and that there is a real possibility other members of this forum may be harmed financially I commented.
I have reported to GB. GB replied that they are aware of the situation with this seller and are taking action. However GB could do nothing to assist in resolving my case.
