A search of Ebay showed them up for sale. A search of prior sales showed he had sold more than $40,000 dollars worth of stolen Performance inventory. Thru Ebays records, the seller was found out.

Thanks for keeping us up to date Rev.Chuck. I wonder what is going to happen to those who received the stolen goods. In some states, that merchandise would be recovered and returned and the buyer is out of their money. This could get interesting!
