Title: Etsy Sellers?
Post by: Jin on March 20, 2018, 06:49:50 AM

Hi all. I've been looking to finally pick up a crystal chamber TFA. However, it looks like none of the sellers I remember from way back are selling them. There are some sellers on Etsy though. Do any of you have any experience with any Etsy lightsaber smiths? I've been looking at this one in particular:

I don't know the seller, but you might want to see if they are selling them for vintage/1st gen replicas vs korbanth 2.0 or other replicas.

I don't know the seller, but I'd probably go different route personally. The pricing seems strange/high on most of their products. The "warranty" is you pay them to fix it. Some shockingly high end materials, but unpolished construction, and a "laser" instead of a cree/rebel? Strange.

I've heard some stories of people having to repair this sellers' work..I would avoid, especially at those prices.  You need to be very careful in this hobby....make sure if your paying money to somebody they have built up a  good reputation.

Agreed. I would avoid this seller.

I second, third, and fourth what has been said above. Not only that but they way they handled some recent criticism and the record of event was uncouth and questionable.
