He did - surprised me as I was one of the people he specifically had a go at but he still bought some stuff and then I told him in a reasonable way that he had an overinflated idea of what his stuff was worth...

Interesting to see this! Not right for me because of the 'errors'. I'm a stickler for doing things correctly.
And I'd be amazed if it sold for even half that. My customs have met with minimal/zero interest on feebay and they are much better than this [imo anyway...]
And 'twatty McFucknut'. Best thing I've heard all day by a country mile.

It must be hard to put a value on custom figure I guess, all the time & effort put into making them 'n' all against what someones willing to pay for the finished item.
Also noticed the re-carded Luke Skywalker this guys got for sale, I've a little uneasy on the idea of re-sealed Star Wars (or any type of) figures, to me it seems a tad too much like forgery.
I think its fine to make custom cardbacks for custom figures, it adds to the fun & artistry..

Stalker isnt exactly the hardest figure to make though, if it was a Quarrel or Red Jackal it might take some effort and skill but Stalker is just a bit of gray...

I would disagree with you about making a Quarrel custom Krakers all you really need is a Scarlett figure for it.

You know, I'm really not happy about him using the BFTB Colouring Project page for his cardback. Makes it look like something officially released through the site.

Sorry Ironblood (not knocking your custom) but I meant using the original Scarlett parts to make a "vintage" Quarrel. A fair amount of little bits to paint on that if you were going to but I dont think Quarrel is really rare or valuable enough to make a custom to sell on...
Gaucho on the other hand seems to be worth the effort, I got twenty quid for mine on the bay...
I suppose its the risk of everything being freely available - anyone can take stuff and use for there own gain - would have been nice of them to ask see what was said though...
