Hell. No.
Out of curiosity, why?

Honestly? I really, really don't like the guy. He's pushy, bullying, and condescending as all hell as a salesman.
My 2nd Gen Con, I think it was, back in like '97, I had a "run in" with him. Meaning that I was wandering around and stumbled upon his booth. It was this itty bitty booth, with this ragged older guy running it. I stopped to look at what he had, as I had done at most booths I had. And he pounced. He came over and launched full bore into a spiel about his dice. And for those that know me, I'm a nice guy. I like to be polite. So figuring that this would be a couple minutes of him telling me his dice are cool, I settled back to listen.
And listen. And listen. And listen.
Those YouTube videos on his website? Both 10 minutes long? Yeah, that's more or less the exact same sales pitch he gives everyone who wanders by his booth at cons. I didn't want to be rude, and didn't have anywhere to be, so I sat and listened for like 15 minutes as this guy went on and on about how perfect his dice are, and how utterly shit every other dice out there is, with the implication that anyone who used other dice must be an idiot to keep using them. (It has to do with weight, and balance, and precision dice cutting, and a bunch of other fairly meaningless crap).
Like I said, I found the guy fairly offensive. And to make it worse, his dice were pretty damn expensive (At the time, anyway. They're much more competitively priced these days, as he has a much larger operation now). Plus they just feel wierd... they're too big, and the edges are too sharp.
A few years later he ambushed a buddy of mine as we were walking by his booth. I knew by then to avoid eye contact and just keep walking, but he didn't. And like me, he was too polite to just walk away or interrupt the guy, and that;s when I realized he gives every customer the same long-winded, condescending speech about dice.
Meh.
He's very passionate about his dice. And supposedly he's a pretty nice guy at the gaming table. But like I said, he just rubbed me the wrong way, big time. I don't like hyper-aggressive salesmen, especially ones who have long-winded sales pitches that rely on belittling their competition (at great length).
Bull
