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!
