matt black Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Great reply Lucus. Shame on him. You shouldn't have to deal with this crap. Quote
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Has anyone shown this guy the pic of the real ones that was posted on the previous page? Right there is proof he didnt cast them from an original set. It looks pretty obvious to me these were cast from Marks. What a loser. Quote

TK-4510[501st] Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Did you contact makerofthings? Quote
sskunky Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Posted March 27, 2012 Did you contact makerofthings? I just got a reply from him to say that the only set he sold on eBay was a copy of Sds mic tips so they wouldn't have had the same interior parts as mine. Quote

TK5492[TK] Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 I've never seen anyone just come right out and say 'why buy from another maker' and actually specifiy a name. That's.... I don't really know what to say. I'm so sorry this guy is doing this. You want me to take a bounty out on him? Quote
sskunky Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 I got mine back on. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130672629748#ht_1133wt_1398 Quote
xaoslord Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Mark, are you sure you don't have a time machine? Maybe you bought your tips from him and then took them back to the past? Just trying to see this from his perspective...hard to do because I can't get my head up my own backside... Quote
Mojo Posted March 28, 2012 Report Posted March 28, 2012 Sorry to hear this mark.. they look identical to the ones you've made! Quote
Cavalier Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 i bought a set of those a while back from a bloke in the U.K for a fair bit more than you are both selling for... may have to hunt him up (cos they look the same again....) Quote
BGHUNTER Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 I saw these close to a year ago, an as they looked good I purchassed a set, as I did a set of trooperbay and a set from someone who had an extra TE set, an afew other sets, from secondary sellers on other forum though at the time I didnt know of Marks, and I was interesed in these as they were 3 piece only oppn ispection of my RS helmet did I realise these an the trooper bay had the logo in the wrong spot so I looked in to it more and realised they were dircet copies of Marks (Which I think I did point out to him) and asked the seller the history, on which I got the dead dad story so I asked if I could see a pic as by this time EFX had shown pics of a real one, and on being told they were locked in a swiss bank vault (ok mabey I made the Swiss part up) but they were now to presious to be let out of the vault so the pics are not possible, Any way I acctually think this guy now believes his story, Quote
andyoda Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 There's always 1 out there Mark "unfortunately." Having a set of your hovi tips which are tops I loathe these a......holes Not only is the guy a joke but is also a lie unto himself. It's obvious yours are not a re-cast from the originals and are unique to you and it's sad that this quince is not only copying your art but also selling it I've done some more work on my trooper and will send you some more pics soon mate. Cheers, Andy. Quote

Scootch[TK] Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 LOL! freakin' mic tip recaster. So there's a Faucet aerator with the same shape as a microphone tip? cool. Quote
Darth Hilarious Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 LOL! freakin' mic tip recaster. So there's a Faucet aerator with the same shape as a microphone tip? cool. That wsas the most hilarious thing about this guy- he actually claimed that they're faucet aerators. I mean, dude, if it was that simple, we wouldn't have to recast them, right? We'd just buy them from a plumber... Quote

But good luck finding the right one that's 35+ years old. Quote
Nicholls Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 ah i saw these on eBay... something (probably the force) told me not to buy. So i got yours from trooperbay! Quote
sskunky Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Posted August 9, 2012 I see he's at it again. He's still advertising mic tips cast from original areators! Strange coz they are cast from CFO mic tips! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 Problem is some of the info for first timmers should be updated, sooo many threads I have found and if you don't keep researching then you buy crap Quote
andyoda Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 Another thing Mark and that is he is stating that his are cast from the originals and that he's casting them in black and not painting them, so if the clown know's what he's talking about why did he cast all off the components in black then? That's a rhetorical question of course I'll shoot you an email later mate to show you some of my latest works. Talk later dude. Quote
mrcosmo1[TK] Posted October 14, 2012 Report Posted October 14, 2012 I just read this entire post and it really bothered me that someone could get away with lying about his product and no one on eBay has any idea. I have a pair of CFO mic tips in my AP lid and they are great. Then I realized that there may be something we could all do to make this guy go away. It's a little nuts and we would help the recaster in the short term. What if 50-100 of us bought something from his eBay site and then told the truth in our negative feedback. Just a thought, probably wouldn't work but I'd do it if we got a big enough group to support one of our own. Quote
