eBay Sellers To Avoid

Eloquently stated Mandalore. We all come here to help each other, and to spread around the knowledge and resources from hard work, and trial and error findings. Are we not all working towards a common goal? A little civility goes a long way.

Hey Cal. What's up? Hey everybody...everyone should relax.

One thing. Last I remember, Boba Fett gauntlets belong to George Lucas.

That being said...recasting finger pointing here is just like when all the helmet makers were at war a couple of months ago. And frankly, I bet (not for sure, but I have a hunch) most or all of the BF/JF helmets sold on this board by the top 3 or 4 helmet makers... are recasts...or originated from a mold made from a recast fan-made helmet or a Don Post deluxe. No offence helmet makers. Just stating it for perspective.

Same for gauntlets...all gauntlets. I bet they are very incestuous and/or mysterious in their origins. Big deal.

Take it easy guys.

sjy you would be correct,as for not slamming my character dont you remember what you said about my wife in replying to my email asking why had you posted extra feedback,my email had no insults or bad attitude in.
thats when you blasted into me with insults.
then you blocked my emails meaning nothing could be sorted out anyway. i had to find a way to communicate with you ( i retaliated to his insults, not the best thing to do but.....)and i did but then i saw this thread and decided to sit back and watch.
newfett is a freind who i showed the email to and that particalr part ( you know what im talking about) really itched him so he joined the forum.

the gauntlet plugs i use were made from wood and body filler after a freind bought some gauntlets which were crap and so i started making my own.

sjy,if you want to talk to me ( unblock my emails) then lets do so privatly and get this sorted, if not then dont.

i will now go back to reading posts in the forum and not posting unless i have to.
 
sjy, i take it now ive studied your thread more closley that you are playing people into thinking im sending loads of emails trying to wind you,you said

"You don't need to continue sending e-mails to me through eBay and any other means you can find. It's pretty obvious who's sending them, what with the subjects being "Lying Conman!" I am deleting the e-mails and have blocked you from IMs"

i suggest you contact ebay and report this to them as they will be able to trace this emailer and either warn them or remove them from ebay..

i will say this though.....its not me ,i sent 1 email in retaliation to the 1 you sent, unless of course this is fiction about the emails,however contact ebay as they will be able to trace any messages sent through them.

Not exactly true, there have been a few great helmets that were sculpted from scratch.
As for gauntlets, I know how mine were made. I sculpted them out of clay over casts of my arms. No usage of any pre-made gauntlets.

Darth nut, what do your gauntlets look like? or are you F-N-S?
 
sjy
i just checked ebay. if sending messages to members it gives auto headers.
things like general question, or question about postage.or just contacting members the header says( auto header) question from ebay member.
so how can they be headed...lying conman.
i will check ebay.com to see if that allows for users own headers.
can anyone enlighten me..am i missing somthing.

ruffkin: do you refer to the original glassfibre, vacu formed or the new gauntlet plugs im making right now or the cast gauntlets?
which are new scratch built which address the issues brought up here and some other issues like making them slightly bigger for bigger people.
solid glassfibre that should fit together perfectly, i will found out if my measurements are correct after the weekend.so email me to remind me and ill send a pic.
 
Ruffkintoy said:
Well if you are Frank-n-sons from ebay then I mean the ones being sold on ebay. Is that you?


yes but which ones...the solid glassfibre ( old ones) then we started making vac formed glass fibre reinforced, now we are going straight to all glassfibre.

just curious though, are you wanting to know so that you can join the slamming or wanting to know out of idle curiosity.
 
I refer to the one you sent via eBay (which, yes, did not have anything but "Message From eBay Member" as the header,) then the ones to my AOL personal address, then the ones to my AOL professional address...

This is what really gets me about you, FNS - you play very innocent and make mis-translated comments about things I and others have said in an effort to make yourself look like the victim.

And please re-read this thread. Not once did I make a disparaging comment about your wife, merely that you kept blaming situations on her (the tracking, the non-replies.)

And I will not un-block you. I have already tried to work this out with you like an adult and, as you failed to respond until I left the negative feedback and then only with insults, I don't see why I should even bother. Go ahead and try to twist my words against me, I have stated my case, I have told the truth, and I am not going to continue this arguement - not in a public forum or otherwise.

Well, I haven't seen pictures of the vacuformed ones yet, I have seen the fiberglass ones and would like to know about the origins of them?
Also are your vacuformed ones just copies of the fiberglass ones?

I'm not into slamming, I have never purchased your gauntlets as i have no need to. I was just curious of the origins. Thats why I asked new fett about it and then he stopped talking.
 
fine ...dont bother, again i sent 1 email, you can have the emails traced by your service provider or like i said through ebay if thats how i sent them.
i have only 1 email address for you , i dont know if that private or work but clearly your the one trying to twist it, as for what you said about my wife, what cant you remember?
i sent an email saying
hi there
i just noticed the follow up you put on the feedback,i notice you failed to mention that you said you would keep and repaint them.

you then sent an email back...what ,cant you remember what you said.
then you blocked me and i sent 1 email back in retalitaion through your website. now your imagination is running wild but there is an easy way to prove what you say.....contact ebay and your service provider at home and work and get them to find who ( if anyone) is actually sending you emails....easy way to sort this isnt it.
 
hi there ruffkin

basicaly my gauntlets plugs were made from wood and body filler, i took measurements from a set of gauntlets my freind bought and made casts for glassfibering, then i got introduced to a freinds vacformer so my dad made one, we then made some solid resin plugs for the former, i was going to sell them as vacformed only but my dad wanted strengh so we glassfibred them, ive never had problems putting the bottom halves in but i also teach jujitsu and didnt take into acount that maybe i have strong fingers, so now i took the old moulds and have rebuilt them from scratch and added some more size to them, i cant show the new ones yet as they are not done.

i would like to add though that thanks to this forum opening my eyes on this thread ive been able to correct the bottom shell problem.
i will send pics of the new ones when finished.
 
sorry i wasnt very clear lol
i took measurements from my freinds then made scratch built using the measurements and made moulds for glassfibering,ive just also finished pred gauntlets moulds but im thinking of restarting as i want to make them fiberglass not vac formed and i think they could have the same bottom half problem.
 
True, there are a few great helmets...and there are several that are recasts. I was just generalizing. And I am not saying you are a recaster...but as a prop maker, you are an infringer of LFL intellectual property (I am too, so don't get mad at me) See my prototype...

Step right up and get some Clone Commander Pistols, only $299.99 a pair, made of highest quality resin, sold in pairs with Vac-formed ABS holsters...la la la. I bet we see version of this down the road. If so, I will be flattered...AND ANGRY!

...Also Ruffkin, I have seen your gauntlets in person. They look very nice, but feel a little thin. C*E*N*O*B*Y*T*E had some at C3 and he has a cool way to reinforce (PM me - or him - if you want the info).

It is odd that no moderators have said hi.

I know if I get riled up in forum and say something baseless (that I can't fully corroborate), yet opinionated, like... "SFP is Anton, the kiddie-porn guy that ripped off a bunch of people"...then I get slammed by the mods.

Bring the pain. I have been missing you.

Bigaboyfett, you basically called all gauntlets recasts.
Same for gauntlets...all gauntlets. I bet they are very incestuous and/or mysterious in their origins. Big deal.
I know it's LFL intellectual property and never said it wasn't but thats not what is being discussed here.
As to the reinforcing, I do offer FG reinforcing if people want it. I don't feel it's necessary as mine have held up well for over 2 years. But thanks for the offer.


darth nut, if your gauntlets were scratch built and you made the molds then why are your details not sharper? Now if you would have said that you cast a set a vacuformed ones I would have believed it. I do believe they are recasts of mine, if they are not I will apologize here openly. I would like to compare your's to mine as I sculpted certain things into them that weren't exacty accurate on purpose.

I will post Pictures of mine on this thread and ask you to do the same. Will you do this?
 
Just offering tips...I heard your styrene melts if the customers don't apply the paint just the right way, and they are very fragile...that is all.

Maybe LFL should decide who has made better copies of George's ideas...or even better, a moderator could perhaps just put this pie away...that would be simpler.

This is the first I have ever heard this, I don't know how styrene would melt if you didn't apply paint the right way. I really don't understand this. As far as being fragile how so? I have only had one person let me know of a problem with a shell ripping.

I'm also not understanding this comment, who besides you is saying anything about LFL here or who makes the best parts. I am not saying mine are better than F-N-S, I was saying they look very, very similar to mine and I would like to compare mine to his to see if the are recasts. That's it, like I said if they are not cast from mine I will apologize.

You also seem anxious for the Mods to lock this thread down, I am curious as to why since it really doesn't have anything to do with you.
 
ruffkin: you said you werent into slamming and now your calling me a recaster. i already told you on this thread what i made. again if your saying that the ones i took measurements off were yours then again i wont repeat myself or say anything bad about you but read my other post.

sjy why have you not come back and defended yourself, do you also forget about the OTHER EMAIL ADDRESS YOU GOT FROM YAHOO in which you sent me emails under another name, clearly you have twisted this thread into a " lets all feel sorry for sjy" , have you contacted your service provider yet and ebay , or is it all imagination, how about i just show the emails you sent me under your own name and the yahoo address, maybe i should have done that from the start but i thought i would give you a chance to sort this the proper way, instead you carried on with your little fantasy, so think carefully about your next post, i offered you a chance to end it and you just carried it further.
let me make no mistake on this, this whole argument is not about the quality of what i sold to him its purely about the insults and "untruths".
 
Ok people lets all grow up a bit! All we have acheived here is arguing, back-stabbing, snipping and bickering. Lets all step back from what has become a flame war (he said this, you said that, your a recaster, such and such is unreliable) it's childish, immature and not worthy of TDH. Like Mandalore697 and others I to call for the Mods to lock this thread, and infact I will PM them requesting they do just that.
You either like FNS2's products or you don't, you either buy them or you don't. You may, like me and others, buy from him (or others sellers on eBay) and then at a later date find somebody else that can provide the items you want in a better quality (although you may end up paying more). That's how it goes. I can't (and wouldn't) comment on emails sent back and foreth, he said, she said, solves nothing. It took a while for my purchases from FNS2 to arrive but I never had anything but pleseant emails from him (infact he put up with a fair few emails from me asking him questions about this or that). Yes his guantlets aren't the best out there and his armour lacks some of the detail that a screen accurate set has(sometimes TDH gets WAAAAAY to hung up on accuracey!). But at the time I found them affordable, and until I upgrade (which we all do eventually) I still use them (after a bit of work).

What ever your feelings on this matter, good or bad, this is not the place for attacks on other people. If you have a problem with another member of TDH, someone on eBay or anybody else keep it off the boards. Solve it (or not) via email, letter or in person.
We should all be ashamed of ourselves, ALL of us.
