Another online resource for custom casts

[starwarsgeek]

Some of you may know that I started working with Dave and Slayer Design a while back, doing some casting for them. Since Dave closed the store, I was given the chance to open my own store to sell the sculpts. Actually, I have 2 stores:

StarWarsGeek eBay store (http://stores.ebay.com/StarWarsGeek-custom-toys-and-more?_trksid=p4340.l2563)

StarWarsGeek on eCrater (http://starwarsgeek.ecrater.com)

Why 2 stores?

eBay - exposure. For every sale that I've done on eCrater, I've done 25 or more on eBay. However, eBay tacks on a seller fee, so I have the prices about $1 more per piece to help me cover that. And it's not a small fee, either... last month I had to pay eBay over $300 in fees.

eCrater - convenience. As I said, there are no fees on eCrater so I can offer my parts slightly cheaper.

Everything listed on the eBay store is guaranteed in stock. This means you place an order and pay on Monday, on Tuesday I ship your items, and by Thursday *usually* you have them in hand. For the eCrater store, I set my items up with large inventory quantities, so it is possible that a piece may not be on hand when you order, but I generally run my molds every day, several times a day, so running out of items is rare unless someone orders 20+ of the same piece. But even if I'm out of something, within a day or so I'll have it cast again and shipped out.

I'm trying to get people to check the eCrater store more than eBay, but it's hard. I'd love to close the eBay shop and stop paying them monthly, but as I said the eBay exposure and orders outweigh the eCrater shop quite a bit.

Both stores take PayPal so you are covered 100% by the PayPal guarantee.

So if you're looking for some older Slayer stuff, check out my store(s). I'm constantly adding new items as well.

The ecrater site only shows a "It works!" text for me, nothing else. :(

Whoops. Fixed.

Excellent, have to check it out now.

Cool stuff. I'd crop the pics though. There's no need for so much unused background.

I bought a 1;18 scale Poswer Sword from SWG's ecrater store and it is fantastic! He shipped within a week and I like the inclusion of the little card with tips on how to paint your items. I know most of us know just fine how to paint, but I thought it was a nice little extra especially for new cuatomizers. I'll definitely be a repeat customer :)

Placed an order throught the ebay store a couple weeks ago. I'll be placing the next one through ecrater.

Do you have any casts off of the Renegades hooded Storm Shadow/Red ninja? I want to use that head in my Mortal Kombat Ninjas.

I hear that, but the thought of cropping ALL of those pics just made my head spin, so I left them alone LOL

Not yet, but check back in a little bit ;)

Unfortunately no. The rules for PayPal seller protection state that when sending items outside the US they need to have tracking and signature. The only way to get that service is with Express Mail which starts around $35. I didn't think anyone would want to pay that much for parts so I just don't ship International at this time. Sorry.

New items being added to my eBay store tonight!! Hopefully tomorrow or sometime soon I can also add them to eCrater.
