WARNING: I've Got A Bad Feeling About This!"

Im new here but if i take all the info correctly then i need to avoid sfp and spideyfett.
So does anyone know where i can get a good full sized helmet or should i ask on another thread.
theres a big difference between SFP & SF. SFP items are just plain crap but SF's paintjobs (from what ive seen so far) are one of the best ive seen on the forums. i agree this thread should be closed before this goes any further. prahaps a moderator can get both SF & GBH together & the three of them can discuss how this can end in the best situation possible. the only reason i have the little info i have i is because i asked SF what the deal was here cause i had just finnished talking to him about schedualing to have a helmet painted right before i stumbled accross this thread. i then wile talking about the paint job i may hire him to do asked him what the deal is with this and he just simply answered my question.

Well if its all the same with you i wont be ordering anything from him,9 months is a joke without any comms.
im guising by comms you mean communication. if you read one of GBH's posts he says its only been about 2 months w/o any communication
;)
 
Well…I'm sure that most have been waiting to hear from me, probably because WE, me included, just like the "drama" of this thread and/or are simply nosey…those that are closest to me know the Truth….

I make it a practice to never divulge any personal info or transactions that I may have done with anyone on this open forum…..but I think with this False Thread its time to say something, As only portions of Truths are being expressed.
And in the END it is really no ones business….as harsh as that sounds.

So I will post on this only to show that posting pics of your painted buckets and how too's is NOT the only thing you can learn around here……….hopefully this shows others that in the END you DON'T know the person you are DEALING with and I hope this will be looked at as a way to help. So with that …here it goes.

In all actuality it is allot simpler than GBH makes it seem. The biggest mistake in this whole thing was assuming that GBH and I had developed a Friendship back since before C3……BIG mistake!!
Based on his previous actions and things that were said to me by him, and of course with recent events, they have made me realize that I'm the one that has been SCAMMED here….I guess this is what I get for being nice to people.

First off GBH is a "REPEAT" customer…..as he has failed to mention that he already has a Previous MS Helmet I painted and sold to him…..which he currently uses for all his 501st functions…(this part will make sense in a minute)
So obviously he thinks I do good work, or why come back, right?

I will say that I did agree to a "FAIR" trade that involved me ONLY PAINTING a bucket on a MS Bucket that I already owned and was in my possession….but in the coming months have found out it involved MORE time and effort that WAS NEVER AGREED ON, as more and More requests were made and added to the Bucket.
EXAMPLES:
#1 A fabricated TWO part Earpiece….which on the MS bucket does not have…..done. Had to order a "lipped" ear piece from Marrow which GBH did not pay for.
#2 A Fabricated Waivey Brow..ESB MOM accurate. Done
#3 Then he sent me a Hyperdyne System SERVO…...ahhh I paint buckets ONLY….so I got WOMO68 Wayne to install it….meantime GBH is bitching because he is not willing to pay Wayne, much less what he disserves….again as he listed he only paid him a 100$ when Wayne FABRICATED a whole new CUSTOM GEAR exchange on the STALK…..I say he got a bargain on that one.
#4 A REAL Dental Borden TOOL installed..ESB mole. Order never paid for. Paid by me.
#5 Ear pieces that are Screwed in , not glued on.
#6 Install of a head liner, he sent it too me which I guess he assumed it would magically be installed on it’s own..
Again keep in mind I only paint Buckets…the original deal.
#7 Finally an installed visor and PAINT job. it's Pretty much done now….
I'll let you Guys decide what all that is worth...

Now most of us think that trade means FAIR, right? Well listing prices of what YOU paid.. as apposed to what it is ACTUALLY worth are two completely different things….Lets just take the SO called Ruffkin toys Gauntlets he supposedly sent me….I would be more than happy to post the pics of the SFP gauntlets that I actually got. By the way one was a JANGO SFP Gauntlet and one was a Boba Gauntlet….These Gauntlets had about THREE LAYERS of paint on them from as many times as they were changed from ROTJ to ESB…and after removing the paint they are not worth 5$. And would be an insult to fellow members to try and even sell them.

As we all know SFP is basically CRAP…..as matter of fact Mr. GBH has posted several times on SFP and how not to deal with them ….but yet he sent "HIS FRIEND" (me) this same stuff…….
As Far as anything else ..ALL OF it is SFP, maybe it's because GBH doesn’t post here much, as noted by his 16 posts, but I think he just doesn’t know what he has…..EVERYTHING he sent me is CRAP…. Again would be more than willing to post pics to prove my point.

NOW after all this , did I agree to this?? …..YES . As by this time we had, again what I thought, was more than a Business relationship…So As I friend I didn’t complain, what could I say?…..I just thought he didn’t know what he had. But it is Safe to say that not one of these things he sent me will be apart of MY final Fett……As I would be too embarrassed.

As part of the "DEAL" I explained to him UP FRONT ….that he can send me the stuff for the trade (suggested by him) BUT I had other orders ahead of him……he stated it was not a problem, So I thought.
HE chose to send those things to me, that DOES NOT MEAN I was going to start his bucket…..As I had other commitments to fellow members……. At the time HE Agreed.

Last but not least and MOST important …LIFE happens….
things came up on a PERSONAL Level Which he was made aware of ….I will not explain any part of my personal life….but he was made completely aware…..Heck he called me every day.
And this supposed non communication from me…..whatever…
When someone harasses you with calls to your house and cell phone simultaniously…and then asks "how's my bucket" rather than "How's your Personal situation"…….well that just drew the line for me …and I made a decision to keep this relationship purely business related by not responding to him. Was that wrong?…..probably.
NOW PAVESPAWN has been more than Gracious throughout and has relayed every message to him……Thanks Gary.
So to say he was not aware of the status is COMPLETELY wrong.

I'm I upset …yes…..upset that you think you know someone and then look what happens……I truly hope someone learns from this…
In the END his bucket in almost complete….I have had other members that are ahead of him and have paid me accordingly.
I not asking for more money from, I'm simply saying that a DEAL is a DEAL…..and he just has to wait till I complete my other obligations…and not all of them are Fett related.

**SO to you MR.GBH…"you will have your bucket"……………..however one-sided this deal is, because I DID agreed to it….again that is my mistake. And I love all the sock-puppet accounts you have.:lol:

Thanks to those that supported me.

Spidey.

Spidey, I think we all knew there were two sides to the coin.

I applaud you for posting eventhough I don't think you needed to get into that much detail, but I am sure I would have done the same thing just to clear the air.

All in favour of this thread now being locked? /e raises hand - just my 2p
 
53 replies and 753 views, on a thread, that technically doesn't have anything to do with any costuming, rather a trade dispute. That's double what a lot of other stuff gets, and this thread isn't a day old. Let's just hope they can work something out so we don't have to see more and more of this go on.

It appears both sides have made their statements and "Galactic Bounty Hunter" received a response from Spidey Fett, so this thread will be locked before it degenerates further.

Also, I will not tolerate open accusations of sock-puppet accounts. If a member suspects someone is using a sock-puppet account, please PM a moderator with your concern and supporting evidence.
