he has them on ebay these days for 350 shipped and I am leary
FWIW, I payed the 'old' price of about $410 shipped. As I said before, took him over a month to ship, but I got it.
I had to file a dispute with the auction site, and they locked his account, until he shipped. Otherwise, I think I would still be waiting for it. Lol
So you got it on ebay too. What is with all these ss builders that they seem to have issues. Do they get over there head or something. But it seems like almost every one has had a issue.
he CLAIMS to have one ready to ship but when I ask for a picture of the kit with my name on a piece of paper next to it I get nothing. I recently bought a kit from Randy Cooper and it was a smooth as silk trnasaction
I actually bought the kit from him because I thought I was going to lose one on another auction. As it turns out, I wound up with 2. It was to be a gift for a close friend, otherwise I wouldn't have been worried about it. The second one is sitting in my closet. I'll probably never build it.
I'm not crapping on Scott, just sharing my experience with him.
He may have a lot going on in his life, but I frankly think if you're going to sell something (on eBay, or wherever), it should be ready to ship. Not 6-8 weeks from now, unless it is stated that way in the ad.
Hell, I have taken items with me on a business trip so I could make sure I shipped within 24 hours of receiving payment. I believe holding someone's $$ and leaving them hanging like that is quite rude. If it is understood up front, fair enough. If not, it's plain rude.
Just to set the record straight, I still own the patterns to the Capt Cardboard X kit. A few years ago Scott asked me if he could do a small run of kits so that he could buy material for his other projects. He had a pretty good casting on hand so he used that as his "pattern" I still have the original pattern here.
I granted permission to him because I did not want to be an obstacle to people here at RPF or others in the modeling community getting their owed kits, even though theoretically it cost me. I do wish Scott would ask me each time he decides to do a run, I am sure i would say ok for the fore mentioned reason. I am fairly confident that he has used at least partial funds from those sales to buy resin/rubber as he has gotten some owed kits out (at least it looks like that at his site).
I have no other comment on the situation, but I did want to clarify why he would be looking for a fresher kit to make new molds from.
