"Reliable" Resins

[sfhess]

Reliable Resins is back on the 'Bay

I paid for an item of his on eBay a couple of years ago and never received it.  Got a lot of excuses though.

Now he is selling again on eBay.  See my post below.

Now he is selling again on eBay.  BEWARE.

There’s a whole bunch of people on here who have been burned by him, myself included. I  got the item, after ALOT of whining and excuses, but the body was useless junk that stunk like stale cigarette smoke.

Amazing that he's maintained 100% positive feedback. I've heard that he somehow kind of blackmails people into it, but have no experience. I do know that I have heard nothing but bad things about him and his products for over 20 years! I also had the misfortune of talking to him on the phone, once. Struck me as a complete phony.

Motor City Resin has much better quality. I know MCRC has had issues getting product out but his quality is far superior to RR

[sfhess]

I got a reply to my eBay message saying he has all the unfilled orders in a "safe place" and intends to fill them when he is able.  Current listings are items he is selling "to keep a roof over his head".  He included pictures showing the results of a lot of surgical work to the back of his neck.

I had previously ordered one of his 70 GTO conversion kits.  I received that promptly and it's a pretty good casting.

Turn him in to postal inspector, eBay for fraud. 
Threads in here about this clown for decades. Calls people up and swears at them, etc. 

Don’t waste your money. 
Send product or send money back. 
Product ain’t coming.

Thanks for posting, I almost bit on their Vw altered body since I can't find an aardvark one 

[1972coronet]

I'd read somewhere that all of his castings are performed in the "pit" of a vintage outhouse.

Ahhhh yes… good ol UNreliable resin ?

Years ago, negative feedback could only be erased if both parties agreed to it. A seller once left me negative feedback, hoping I would erase his. I bought two books from him and it took several months, plus numerous phone calls and e-mails to get what I had paid for.  His company had said yes, they would combine shipping. The company owner said no, after the fact. I did not erase his negative feedback. I made a website called “ohojimsucks.com” instead. **** that guy.

Right on! Don't get mad, get even! I believe that's what Theune was doing. He's a complete a-hole.

I ordered "correct" resin tires for the Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport. I did receive them in a decent turn around but the tires were garbage. I complained through eBay and recieved a full refund. See how accurate they are! Don't even think about ordering from him. No one who has pride in their product would ever sell such poor quality.

Selling that garbage is criminal. It's not fit for a junkyard diorama.

The picture he posted on eBay was misleading for sure. And yes, it is criminal.

I always wanted his Mars Boys Vette Gasser body, I guess I won't be getting one now.

Looks like the garbage that he sent me. 

[Texas_3D_Customs]

Man I actually hate seeing stuff like this, gives small businesses a bad name.

[Bucky]

Looks like he might be training a five year old to make resin parts!

[keyser]

That’s unkind to 5yo’s. ?‍??They can draw round better than that. 

[Straightliner59]

And, he's been around for decades! You have to wonder just how!

[Mike 1017]

I don't think that this is even possible. Can this whole thread be sent to Ebay? Let them know more about this guy.
