No worries Raulin... I fell through on my end of the bargain badly. When I get to your order, I'll make some sales and refund your payment.

I'm really sorry it didn't work out.

Otto

pm'd you Caemgen

Otto

Still have a wide variety of gorgets and a couple of bosses just wait'n

Otto

3 months minimum...

Otto

Well, technically, I don't even have a website anymore, so I don't offer anything... I just sell already made items so I never get backlogged again.

I was just curious what others thought of it.

Otto

Arrakis, I sent you a pm regarding your order.

Otto

The normal norse style that I do has a flat tipped nasal... but Sigtyr asked me to do one with a pointed nasal tip.
Does one look better than the other?

Otto

*shnarf!*

Otto

Lordy...

if I was still in SCA heavy and had a bit of cash, I take the whole lot in a heartbeat! Great prices!

Otto

Violen, I checked my list and I think it's going to be a month, give or take, before I get to your order.

As always, I am sincerely sorry for the delay and will get to each of you as quickly as I possibly can.

Otto

I do a fairly good one of these which I can make to your size for about $200, though I won't accept any money til it's done and ready to mail. It'd take me about 2 weeks since I'm working on a couple of my back orders right now.

Otto

wirgl!

Otto

still got 'em all

Otto

Awww c'mon... you know you want one!

Otto

Still have 6 gorgets (2 of each size sm, med, lg) and 2 shield bosses ready to go in the mail immediately.

Otto

6 gorgets and two shield bosses still available... ready to ship today...

Otto

I do have printouts of everyones payments, so I won't lose anyones order. Right now, I'm attempting to contact Mr. Emerson to verify that he still wants the order and not the refund. Chief, I don't traditionally do full kits but let me get the old order list cleaned up first and then we'll see what'...

Otto

Glad to hear that it passes your inspection

I always worry about that when I send stuff out.

Otto

Cian, pm sent

Otto

magically bumptastic!

Otto

Chief/Chris

please let me know whether you'd prefer your armour or a refund and I'll get to it as quickly as possible.

Please note, to do refunds, I have to make and sell things to gather the money to refund... so please bear with me.

Otto

Waiting for what from when?
I hadn't heard of any recent shipments gone astray.

Otto

To complete Ben Gordon's order, I owe him $50 as a partial refund and I also have to make some to pay for shipping on the next back order I'm working on. To that end, I have the following items for sale. 1 shield boss, 9 inch diameter, 2 inch depth, 14 ga. mild steel $30 I have a couple gorgets of e...

From Otto's Armoury

I have a shield boss for sale... $30 plus shipping
It is made of 14 ga. mild steel.
Total diameter of dished area and flange is 9 inches.
Flange is 1 inch wide all around
Dished area is approx. 2 inches deep and 7 inches diameter.

I can take paypal or money orders.

Otto

The sale of the norse helm combined with the find of a lower priced sheet metal source enabled me to buy a full sheet of 14 and a full sheet of 16.

I can now start in on the back orders and expect to make some real headway.

Otto

sold pending payment

Otto

pm'd back with a question.

Otto

priced too high?

Otto

Otto

Sorry Broadway, but there's no other way for me to do it.
My job gets me free rent and $200 per month cash. I have literally no money to work on the old orders if I don't do some selling. I know it must irritate the hell out of those waiting on prior orders, but I have no other options.

Otto

Otto

As you've likely seen, I've used the last of my steel to make a helm to sell and enable me to buy another full sheet of 14 ga. and some 16 ga so I can really get serious on the back orders. A small hitch in my giddy-up is that I've been gifted with some new monthly bills that are mandatory. My dear ...

Which looks better?
