Recaster Alert!! 'treckfreek' On Ebay!!!

Sorry to hear that.

It's good to know he's a recasting scumbag though.

Fore warned is fore armed!

And what's worse, it's a crappy looking recast! I mean, if he's going to recast your stuff, you'd at least think he'd take the time to do it reasonably well...

Kidding aside (the last part, not the first, it's still a crappy recast), I noticed he had a couple other similar "bust plaques" that look similar in style. Specifically, it looks like he's got one of Hayden Christensen:

Anybody identify it?

Sorry to hear that. He won't get any of my money.

As a seller don't you have the right to cancel his bid and block him as a buyer?

I really do not know, as i never had to use it....

I need to sell it... what could happen if he buys it?

What do you think that he will do with it?

Thanks

Honestly I think that your particular helmet is safe and that he actually wants it. Because if he just wanted to recast a helmet there are far cheaper kits

Cool !!

Thanks.

But what i still do not understand is that he bids only 1 dollar? maybe he just wants to have track on the item, so if someone outbids him ebay will send him a message.... right?

Managing bidders and buyers

There's the link showing how to block a bidder.

I agree that it's probably safe. Chances are he's there cos it's cheap and once it goes beyond a certain point he'll disappear. If he were genuinely after the item he'd watch it til nearer the end before bidding in case he pushed the price up.

But i see no point...because there is a reserve price.....

i only do things like that if the price is very good, so i bid so the owner will not cancel the auction......

I bid on items occasionally because my phone has an app that alerts me when an auction I am bidding on is about to end.
That way, I don't forget to snipe

^ I do that too. lol. I just looked at Trekfreek and he sells TK armor too. So again I don't think he wants to recast it.

It will be a grat honor to have a recaster as one of my clients..

Trek freak is friends with Bently o'toole . the armour he is selling is fobreglass copies of an fx suit with an ap bucket. all fibreglass.

sorry to ask this... but who is Bently o'toole?

Another well known Aussie recaster.

I see......

Thanks

Bentley has been selling on ebay for years all he does is change his name and moves so no one can track him how do I know this I have been one of those people that get screwed over for a fast buck even one of his friends chris hull has returned more than once on ebay the moral of the story is do not trust any aussie ebay members before asking questions on here first

Could these 2 be the same person?

Madrid, If I were you I'd cancel the bid and block the bidder. Better to be safe than sorry.

Personally, I have zero tolerance for known recasters. I have a lengthy blocked bidder list on eBay. Even if he already sells something similar, he may be looking for something to replace his badly degraded mold with.

I wouldn't knowingly allow a recaster to buy something, regardless of how badly I need to sell or how innocent the situation might seem. Especially if it isn't my piece.

Wow! That just sucks! People like these give Australians a bad name. I've dealt with both Jedimaster and Chewie15 in the past. Jedimaster sold me my endo - great transaction. Chewie cut down a bust to fit in a box to get it to Australia - great piece. Just sad that there's so many floggers out there!

Hes been recasting for ages, the Batman community noticed him when he was selling recasts of various cowls. All horrible recasts for stupid prices. I wish more could be done to those who rip off great artists. He even admits it to people and doesnt see anything wrong with it. Makes me angry as hell.
