The arrogant dismissal of all reissues tells me everything I need to go about the guy-I've got plenty of reissues (MFSL, DCC, Friday Music, etc) that smoke the originals, some that sound only marginally better and/or different and a few that aren't as good. As Fremer noted, there's no hard and fast rule.
Anyone armed with a smartphone (for the flashlight app), a magnifying glass and same basic knowledge of how to read deadwax and other pressing related knowledge can do the same thing-if he's selling a Buffalo Springfield "hot stamper", for example, you can be certain it's not pressed at Columbia (the Monarch pressings are WAY better). He's a record concierge for the lazy and well-heeled.
