I've always thought about buying from him, but I've never heard anything about a purchase from his website. This here today is the only negative reaction I've ever seen.

A feature stolen from ebay, but his average rating is now:

Don't know if this is possible, but do you think that the Admin Staff might be able to create a Buyer's Beware Thread? and from this thread would generate an OFF LIMITS roster that could be posted annually? These measures would happen only after the customer (who has exhuasted all means possible.) can report this individual to one of the board members. From this list it would have the names of those faulty sellers and thier aliases. This would be kept in the data base along with their information for those third or fouth party member who would try to come back to the forum. I know this sounds leangthy, but if we all pitch in this will save not only us, but the board members as well. and thanks for the heads up on this guy. Let me know what you guys think. C Oh, I almost forgot you can also report this guy to the ICCC (Internet Crime Complaint Center www.InternetCrimeComplaintCenter.com ) they work in hand with the FBI. It worked for me hope this helps. Spread the word.

There really aren't a lot of people on this board that are like this seller. He is no longer on the boards, to our knowledge, and this would also create a situation where a member might get fed up with a seller after they take a longer than normal amount of time to deliver an item. I think it just kind of leaves a lot of what ifs to be answered when you blacklist someone, and what would keep them from coming back to the boards under a different name time and time again. I do think that there should be some kind of new member approval that goes on though. Because as it is now anyone is able to register on TDH, and I think that is why we have seen an increase in the number of spammers over the past 3-4 weeks (which the mods have been doing a great job dealing with). That is just my thoughts on the matter.

I did sell him a few sets of gauntlets, He had approached me about selling mine through his site and I figured why not. Then all this happened on TDH with his site and he wouldn't show any pictures of his work. Guess now we know why. Anyway, I no longer sell to him so if anyone else gets something from him claiming to be mine then they are not mine(at least not from me)

Yeah I knew that they were a set of yours, but he just did the worst job painting them and "weathering" them. lol

The ones he is selling now are probably recasts of yours. The are made of kinda thin ABS or styrene.

Makan, we suffer from the same problem. Guys our size have a hard time getting armor pieces and flak vests to fit right. We're made to suffer its our lot in life.
That armor you bought really looks bad though. We should convince BM to make a plus size set of armor in fiber glass. I would buy that first in line.

That armor looks great for trashcan! Im around the same size as you and while some could accuse me of going too big with the chest pieces and they might be right by 1/2 inch overall I find it looks better than the templates designed for a Calvin Klein model. No offense to you skinny guys.

Are the pouches attached to your girth belt? Just wondering how you got them under your leather belt?

I have industrial strength sticky back velcro on the back of my ammo pouches and regular sew on velcro on the loops of the cloth pouches.

I believe it is. But if it's not past 90 days, you may be able to open a dispute with your credit card company assuming you paid with a credit card.

Ruffkin i really like your chest! (Hmm that sounds a little odd doesnt it?)
To answer your question im 6:0 at 195 lbs but i cant seem to get chest armor that works right for me I either come out looking fat
or the armor looks too big. Its massively annoying.

Man I am glad that I didn't buy any armor from this guy while he was around. I would have been extremely disappointed.

I guess I've just been lucky thus far as no one has shafted me as you certainly were. What I've done is to try and email the person several times just to try and build some kind of repoir with them and basically see if their credible and honest folks and not someone telling you what you want to hear so they can burn you in some, well ANY way they can...In the end you're always taking the chance, but if someone does even the slightest thing that makes you uneasy about a sale, don't do it and trust your instincts. That's about the best we can all do in the end I guess...

However I do find it highly commendable that you personally didn't try and pawn the armor etc you got from him onto someone else. If only everyone had similar ethics as you...
