Buyer beware

I've done so (and in all fairness he has not had time to respond yet) However, I'm not the only one that has reported issues. I just realized I got the name a bit wrong. It's Frank-N-Son-Part2. If you do a search for F-N-S you'll find another report. From what I understand this person was banned from here for being a recaster. I bought these in Feb right before I joined up and would not have if I had seen any of the posts on this forum. Just wanted to add a new post for anyone new post for other new guys like myself. I have no idea what the resolution is going to be on this, but I'll post a positive one if it happens. Just wanted to give a warning about purchasing things on ebay. It's a much better idea to buy things from other members here

Yeah, I blieve he recasts ruffkin's gauntlets. I almost bought from him, luckily at that time when the auction was over, he told me paypal had seized up his account and I wasn't able to pay for them. Lucky me.
Well he responded to me fairly quickly and is sending me a replacement part. So he is trying to make it better. However, I've already contacted Rufikin and ordered a set of his gauntlets. I'll most likely fix these, clean them up a bit, and resell them.
Help me Ruffkin, you're my only hope!

Yes, F-N-S or F-N-S part 2 (same thing) sells recasts of my gauntlets, very poor quality too.

I highly recommend NOT ordering ANYTHING from "EDC Studios"
Boy, I hate it when I see this happen. Sadly it happens way to often. Why people are still buying from Bloodsports is beyond me??? I peek at there ebay feedback every once in a while just to see if there buyers feedback will ever truly reflect there products. Sadly it dosnt and the funny thing is they allways keep the auctions private if they have to do with a fett prop. I was tempted once to buy a cheap item just to throw some neg feedback but felt that wasnt fair and I didnt want to give them a dime. Perhaps one day recasting will become more rare, but not any time soon.

Does bloodsport recast a lot of stuff? I've checked out their site, got some useful info but I find their stuff to be way overpriced
Is there a list of recasters available to those who are not aware? I believe that would be helpful so those new to collecting pieces to create their Fett costumes don't throw money at those who recast thus providing them the means to perpetuate it. I'm sure it would be a bit controversial in some aspects. Just wondering.

That is actually a really good idea. I like the sound of that. I got screwed on ebay once also...a $165.00 recast mystery helmet that was constructed horribly. I have to admit, I HAVE purchased something from bloodsport, even after i joined this forum, I ordered was collar studs, I won an auction of his on ebay for $0.99. I have to admit, they weren't bad or anthing. (But how can someone mess up collar studs?). So that isn't much to say about him. Just never buy from him.
Oh, and we should star that list that MacRory suggested. I think that'd be a wise move. Or, just make a Sticky Thread where everyone lists evil Ebay sellers.
And about those gauntlets, I'd just get them repainted and re-worked. The shape looks okay, but the paintjob looks as though it was painted with finger-paint. Cheers!
