What would you do. I filed a dispute with him 3 weeks ago. PayPal said he had 10 days to ship it with proof. I did receive the gun. PayPal has sent me back my money. I guess he did not provide the tracking info. Or he ignored the email. Now, the gun is assembled but no electronics or paint. I waited 8 months and sent him the electronics to install it. I one point I told him to send as is, no paint because I was not going to wait 6 more months. So don’t know if I should send him some money back or nothing at all. Almost as a punishment for not getting everyone else props to them.
That's absolutely not your place, dude.
If you have the money and the gun, send one or the other back.
It's not like he's a scam artist deliberately messing folk around; the poor bugger has been kicked in both balls by life, hard, and repeatedly. He's doing the best he can in an insanely shitty series of situations.
I have stated as much in this regards as you have. This is also part of the reason why nickatron props dropped out. Everyone was selling cheaper knock offs of his stuff too.
Matsucorps issues are more he has more pending orders and he keeps getting cancellations and he partly lives off doing props so he kind of screwed himself having too many pending orders.
The problem with his stuff though is outside of SD Studios he is the only other shop that does any metal working for prop making.
And in all honesty this is not too terribly different than the issues pit viper studios and Lem King is having with his order fullfillment but most of his issues are a life spent working with fiberglass casting and cutting and painting and literally be broken back and broken body.
