Isn't that Jeff Parks?
The very very bottom of the page says "Copyright 2007 Parks Sabers, Inc." so I'm assuming it is. He's probably just trying an image/business upgrade and is trying a name change....which won't change anything.
Also, his site caused my virus windows to pop up with threat warnings. It's never done that before.
From what I understand it's a guy who buys from Jeff direct and resells it, not actually Jeff himself.
I spoke to Jeff years ago before he had a 'parts' section on his website. He wanted to maybe sell parts, but he didn't want to deal with questions, emails, packing, etc because he already has so much business from his regular sabers. He mentioned wanting to look for someone to take care of a parts business for him. From talking to him a few times since I believe it's actually someone else 'running' that site.

Sorry about that. Nothing popped up on mine....
No need to apologize. My programs caught and got rid of it, and you didn't make the site.

Maybe not i'd worry more if they don't hold stock and just order, that's if it is a third party,Parks aint known for hasty deliveries.
Main issue is do you really wan't to give Parks money ?

Maybe not, but you'd still be supporting Parks so why order from them in the first place?

Thanks for this. As a newbie here, I had no idea about this. I was actually tempted by his MPP...not now!

Wow, small world. I've known Dave Snedigar for years. I had no idea he had to go through something like this, much less with Parks.
Amazing to see some of these horror stories and people are still out there doing business with no resolution. I really thought the biggest problem around here was recasters :^)

I acquired a OWK ANH saber from the junkyard here and was thinking about getting a phase blade version but after reading what he did to GH
i dont think i want to do business with a guy like that im sure someone around here will come up with a decent looking duelable OWK ANH one day and i guess i'll wait it out

I ordered some parts from Saber Kit. Let's see how long it takes for them to arrive. I was pretty tweeked that they only accept Google Checkout and have a 3-8 weeks delivery.
But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. If they do well. Then it's all good.. If not, then I'll post it here for all to see.
