Hmmm, assumptions.... You are making an "assumption" that no one would want a non 100% screen accurate pack. You discount any possibility that it may not be up to YOUR standards, but may be to their's. If someone asked me if my packs were 100% accurate (and they sometimes have), I'm honest with them. If they ask for additional pics, I provide them. By your definition of dishonesty, Hasbro is being dishonest with the lightsabers they sell because they don't have a big label on them saying they aren't screen accurate. I don't think I've ever recalled people advertising items as NON screen accurate. Seriously man...
This whole thread was simply someone seeing me as another vendor whose out there. The question was raised, "who is this guy"? and I just wanted to say "hi", yes I'm a real person and a legit prop maker. Some of the non accurate parts of my packs was pointed out and its a matter of OPINION how accurate a pack SHOULD be. I'm not super fussy and some people are. If someone asked me to change certain things on a pack they ordered or "upgrade" it, I'd be happy to work with them on it. I don't just sell products for people, I help create them, and most of my props were first made because someone specifically asked me too. If there was something particular that really turned people off, I'd look at changing it. So far, I've had happy customers with my packs.
The fact that right outta the box you attack my personal and professional integrity is what really set me off. Cause its simply not true. I'd see about rounding up a couple hundred customers that can vouche for me, but that may take awhile. I'm not gonna argue further, its pointless. You obviously have your believe and you're welcome to it even if you're wrong.
alright.
here's an assumption.
im a new person new to ghostbusters props, i have 1500 dollars. do i want the most accurate available props or do i want yours?
im doing my research, and i noticed that you have one for sale. for the price i am wanting to spend. let me look into why i should give you my money opposed to someone else.
so far so good. i see you make packs. let me see if there's any feed back about you because 1500 is alot of money for something i may only wear once a year. so i go to google.
http://www.google.com/search?q=hole+in+ ... =firefox-a 4th link from the top is about you, here. hey! im a member of gbfans. i wonder what this thread is about, and its about this seller that is making a pack i am thinking about purchasing.
wow. this guy is really shooting himself in his foot. i should probably take these as notes for when it comes to the final decision of whom i should purchase my pack from:

1 The cyclotron is 9 inch diameter (cake pan) which is spec I believe.
2 Gun grips feel fine when you hold it.
5 the gun "track" is partly covered by the hanger anyway
Really, a lot of that stuff seems nick picky to me,
Not sure what you mean about the "frowning". If you mean the bottom edge, it is straight. Its just the lighting.
.
why would someone pointing out issues with a pack that arent accurate be nit picky? was the cyclotron a cakepan or was that from just the first guy who made plans? i still dont know, maybe i should keep researching.

well thats a big red flag, i know plans are out there, because this guy needed something to build from to make is accurate right? i mean 1500 is alot of money to give to someone that still doesnt make an accurate pack, im still unsure because im new.

wow, ive heard that before from this other hobby i was involved in. someone was approached with accuracy and they blamed a toy for not being accurate, but toys are lisensed products and they go through a scrutinizing process to get damn near close accuracy before the suffer from being inaccurate, i know that the pke meter was a recent thing with mattel, and its damn near close.
look at his attitude about it too. i dont know if this is such a good idea. after all, i can purchase a proton pack on ebay for 1200 right now that was built by the owner of gbfans, thats already 300 in savings, and i can only assume that the owner of an internationally recognized ghostbusters community fan site would have an idea how to get the materials from the right people to make an accurate pack for my original price of 1500. i dont think there's any doubt in my mind now where my money should go.
so now we're back to me, ProtonCharger, good old Adam that "attacked your integrity." i took everything YOU said, did my own research, a few google searches and an ebay search and came to the final conclusion you have successfully shot yourself in the foot because all it takes is enough people to see that they cant assume they'll be getting the most accurate pack available from you for the price that COSTS the SAME as one that is.
you dont even have to be a seller here to screw up!
