Hi, I have a number of orders completed and do have the $ to ship them (for now) but I have been unable to get to the shop since Saturday due to the weather. Though it is unexpectedly clear right now, it is 28 degrees at the shop, and the CHP is still requiring chains to access the village where my ...

Ebay then hired a large temp staff to doctor the scores, You really no longer have an accurate guide to seller performance there. Eric You never had an accurate g...

I have had 6 ebay clients return to him the $75 stainless full steel arms in the last 6 months and order from me instead. They only bend about 45 degrees. The sad thing is that for months ebay had been calling me to coach me to "be more like them", before booting me off for slow shipping t...

Will there be any opportunities to see your stool sample at any events any time soon?

ARMOURER ERIC

No, I never went out of business, in fact it was a record year in gross, but not so good in net revenue. It's kind of weird the rumors that go around the business, in fact almost all of the customers of my Halloween slam from the Goth/vampire crowd told me they could not reach you when they ordered ...

ARMOURER ERIC

As a matter of fact, yes, the legs I make can do that.

Well, rents is due tomorrow and I'm about $100 which pisses me off becasue since Tuesday, I've had $350 in incoming checks for completed armour orders bounce and last night when I went to deliver a local order in person (the client demanded that I bring it over right then before he went on vacation)...

ARMOURER ERIC

My Record goes to a SCA person in Pilot Point TX who emailed me 42 times in the initial 3 days of a helm perchase to ask if it was done yet. My fault, he had earlier in the year outright lied to me about the satisfaction with a set of arms I made him earlier in the year. (made one set, did not fit, ...

ARMOURER ERIC

Hi, I appreciate the good comments, I've not been as reliable as I would have liked since May, but it is improving, and you can always find me. I know what the problem is, essentially I've let things go on ebay for about 30% less than I should have, which was fine until gas tripled and steel doubled...

Randy, Things are good, I'm going to try and finish all the normans this week, the fires were about an hour and a half north of me, and so far none of my current/past clients were hit, but in 2 cases it was as close as across the street for them. I got reports that there was damage at Featherly RV p...

One thing people don't realize about my operation: I spend $20K a year on shipping being out $500 in the shipping account is a small pecentage and it's all from me not properly accounting for the 3.9% paypal fee when I divy up the income to the accounts, right now I'm paying $4800 a year in Paypal f...

Hi Gang, Sorry for getting testy earlier, I just don't need to be reminded that I owe people stuff when I'm spending 60 hours a week in the shop. I realized that my Friday message was actually posted to another thread, I'vew always been facinated that when I start a new update thread, that like 3 da...

ARMOURER ERIC

This is why I try to stop updating, nobody reads them. Leo, I PM'd like 3 times for a mailing address, did not get a reply, so I contacted your guys directly last week, got an address I think Wednesday, going to try and ship within 2 days. Mike, did I not give you an update by email last week? Sarit...
