He's not a rude guy. I have bought some Lego from him in the past and the deal
went very well. He's giving a real offer and I'm keeping his mail in case
there's something I want. If you don't trust his offer and are not interested,
then delete the mail. But, this is a public forum and you are giving the guy a
bad name. You could have asked a question on Lugnet such as "Has anyone heard
of a guy named Helge Viker? Is he a good dealer in Lego?" That would have been
much nicer and still would have alerted the Lego user community of the email
you received from him.
