Hello,
I am fairly new to this board and did not set out with the intention of causing a stir; however, I recently brokered a deal with Curtis Cronin; “Curtis” was offering up his entire ROTJ Fett suit for the sum of $2000 plus shipping.

Since I’ve spent some time in the 501st and gained the knowledge that this is a great bargain for a beginning Fett costume I jumped on it. Curtis and I shared several PMs about the suit, what it included, sizes, etc. before I chose to make the purchase. We agreed on the following items for the price of $2000 plus $200 shipping

kk the only think that will need to be finished is the chest and helmet but im sending the armor from the pics too and ill take some pics from my cell sorry its the only camera i have
thanks
curtis
These are the images he sent

At this point I finalized the deal and overnighted Curtis $2300 in USPS money orders; $2000 for the suit, $200 for shipping and an extra $100 for express delivery back to me with insurance. This afternoon I received my suit in 5 separate boxes with theses contents
old goldsmen jet pack
ruffkintoy gauntlets
homemade jumpsuit
home made rotj ee-3
cab boots
girth belt, side pouches, gloves
cape, ammo belt
spats
wookie braids
DP 95 w/ broken RF
Sintra armor
Notice there was no mention of Sgt. Fang helmet, MLC armor or the toe spikes in what arrived. I could have overlooked the spikes as a simple mistake, which could be remedied by sending after the fact but not a helmet and full set of unfinished armor when he assured me everything was packed and ready to go after I confirmed he received the money orders Friday afternoon.
Now as I stated above, my intent was not to jump in with guns blazing at the first perceived slight but I do believe Curtis was under the impression that he could get away with this. I’ve sat on this for over two hours after trying to each Curtis both through e-mail and pm from this board, explaining that if he did not provide an answer and remedy that I would go through with this posting among other things, I have yet to receive any correspondence from him. I fully intend to pursue this legally and above board but I thought that the information should be shared so that others can weigh their options before dealing with Curtis in the future
