People/collectors/customers need to to stop putting these businesses on some kind of pedastal and people have to be careful who they give their hard earned money to. One thing that I stopped doing that has been a huge benefit in doing business in this hobby is stop being too friendly with certain mask makers. I am sorry but if you offer something for sale and I give you my hard earned money and you state that it takes 4-6 weeks to get an item to me that is a legally binding contract. If you have waited for 2 years (!!!!) on a mask I can almost guarantee you that it won't show up and unless it comes gold plated and diamond encrusted it won't be worth the wait either.I can't stand all this talk about stand up guy this and stand up guy that. You are not a stand up guy if you can't run your business professionally and get your products delivered to your customers in a timely manner, personal problems or not. If your life is that troubled you shouldn't run a business period. Go get your life in order first.4-6 weeks is plenty of time to finish a mask, 2 years is just taking the pi$$.The worst part about this hobby is that most of these guys know exactly that most individuals won't take legal action because of the relatively low value of the item they bought but that is ultimately our biggest problem, not doing anything.Unless you are willing to spend lots of money on legal fees I would say write the mask off and go someplace where people appreciate your business and treat you like a customer should be treated - with respect.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndtotally agree with youAlex.
