Deker 3,491 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) On the other hand..... The vast majority of what he sells is listed and priced on his website so you or anyone else can see how much it costs...on top of which he does "custom make" a lot of stuff, and much of what he sells is very competatively priced! His advice is usually free and often helpful...but he is a character!! Edited March 16, 2009 by Deker Quote Link to post

ulverston moocher 60 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have had some stuff of tr rob and it hasnt been to bad mate and he was very helpfull on the phone with advice that normaly wouldnt be given freely but I have heard of people having paid over the odds for stuff off him maybe if he see's people are a bit green and lacking experiance he fleeces them wich is not a good way to do buisness but until some one confronts him this will not be an isue get your self and your pal back around there and ask him what the crack is.

gazguildford 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 all he can do is give a price and if people are willing to pay it then he is on a winner not good to fleece people but i always google items for prices before i go to a shop Quote Link to post
