Henry, who runs it, seems to know his stuff and seems to be a straight up guy who is after satisfied customers. Not the clear room environment of 928 intl, to be sure, but the price reflects that. You might also want to consider talking to Mark Benton, who runs the 9 source...another alternative 928 supplier.

Bought several items from them and have been satisfied. Fair prices (use the best offer when available) and fair shipping costs.

I have bought a lot of 928 stuff from Henry. I went there last year to pick some items up that were too bulky to ship and I was going to be around there anyway. His set-up looks a litttle cramped, but was very orderly and his program appeared organized. He is a very straight shooter and had kept my list of items stored carefully for me to pick up. In fact I had not kept a list myself, except in my head, and when I forgot a couple of smalll items he was quick to produce them to complete my order. His eBay prices are very reasonable and, as mentioned, his charges for shipping are pretty low, In fact I suspect he is eating some of the shipping on some things.

original company name was L.A.P.D. , but they were told to change their name due to obvious reasons. LOL

The company normally sells 911 parts. ... but sometimes post 928 and 944 items on evilbay.
