It got messy, and it's not good for anyone--except maybe Strake for sheer entertainment value..
Ok, so let's clarify the Players in this mess:
ddoplayer98 is the original "FACE" of the dupe store. He has fulfilled numerous orders and, by all accounts, has done well by his
customers. You can order from him by PMing here.
DupeHero is the former partner of ddoplayer98 who broke away to run his own store. He claims ddoplayer98 was not a good partner. You can order from DupeHero as well.
Winzer is another former partner/source of dupes ddoplayer98 brokered for. He claims he remains unpaid for at least some of his deliveries
ddøplayer98 is a troll sock of another Vault user who decided to sow some chaos. Bless his heart. You can ignore 100% of what he says. He does some..appreciated work elsewhere. But not here.
Bìshop is a sock of ddøplayer98 and the same commentary applies
Bishøp Another Unrelated Vault Sock
Bishop is unrelated (I believe) to any of the above. His background is... complicated.
Head-Meat/Meat-Head is a longtime Vault user. He doesn't troll. He spends most of his time in P&R. He had quit playing DDO mainly. But, the duping breathed new life into it for him. He has no sock accounts, and (besides the "Sock Monster" himself**) he has the most all-time posts of any Vault user at this time. The point of that is just to say anyone can look at my post history and see that what I've described is accurate. I am a moron. Don't get me wrong. I'm just generally a well-meaning, honest moron.
So where does that leave us? Well, that means there is at least 2 vendors legitimately selling dupes. They are ddoplayer98 and DupeHero. As far as I know, they are reliable to order from if you're interested. I very well may use one or both of them again in the future, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so if I needed to.
As for the partnership allegations from DupeHero and Winzer toward ddoplayer98... I don't know. All I know is that from a CUSTOMER perspective, ddoplayer98 has delivered. Winzer even agreed with that.

I know he delivers to his buyers.
So... there ya go.
If I find out any of this is incorrect, I'll edit it. But, I'm fairly confident of the above.
**The Sock Monster is a Vault user with a dozen+ different accounts who has popped up and caused drama several times. Often he has talked to himself in various socks.. which the relevant troll user described above accurately imitated in this sub. The Monster still exists on the Vault in a less prolific, milder form.
