JamesW Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 I have faith in Rick. If he says everyone will get their orders, they will. He's going through a rough patch right now, but he's a man of his word. His computer at home is still down and he's using his phone, of which I can vouch that the email app that is available on androids sucks. He may not reply to emails, but he IS filling orders and getting them out as time allows. Please be patient with him.
JamesW Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Very sad. I spent quite a few dollars there. I've sent Rick an email and left a telephone message letting him know that I'm interesting in buying Scale Dreams if he's interested. No word back. Jim, he's still not sure what he's going to do. I think he wants to finish filling orders first and then take a break to see if he can get back into it. I don't think he's done, he just needs a break. Running a business by himself takes a toll and he needs some time for himself and family.
Prostreet Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Joe my buddy is going on his 3rd. week, no reply to emails. My buddy is starting to get a little concerned. Man 3 weeks, I would just take a refund at this point to be honest.
Tony G Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Man 3 weeks, I would just take a refund at this point to be honest. I told him the same thing last night.
Prostreet Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I told him the same thing last night. I sent him an email, Doubt i will get a reply but figured it was worth a shot.
Bobdude Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Yes,I also have an order with Rick. I have been dealing with him for a lot of years.There's no doubt I will get my parts.To the others,I guess you have never had to make a life altering decision that affected your family.
Prostreet Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 To the others,I guess you have never had to make a life altering decision that affected your family. I have been dealing with him for a while also. Really no need to go there and get anything started.
Bobdude Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Joe, if you got your parts within 2 days from Rick,would you finish your project within 3 days? Yes or No.
Prostreet Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Joe, if you got your parts within 2 days from Rick,would you finish your project within 3 days? Yes or No. I don't even know why i'm answering this after what i previously stated at the end of my other post, i guess to humor you. I need them move ahead on my build, With that said i will just order more and have extra whenever the others show. sorry i ruffled your feathers, and yes i have had to make life altering decisions in my life before. I have nothing further to ad to this thread.
Steven Zimmerman Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Most aftermarket products suppliers I have dealt with estimate 3 or 4 weeks turn around on an order. Any thing sooner is a plus. I have dealt with Rick since before he opened Scale Dreams. From what I have seen, he has ALWAYS gone the extra mile to make the customer happy. I had a hundred dollar wheel order from him lost by the Post Office( allegedly stolen from my mailbox) He had no responsibility to cover it, and he did out of his own pocket. In my book, he id tops.....'Z'
george 53 Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Rick's a good man. He'sa mem,ber of our club. He is HONEST and forthright. IF you did order something YOU'LL GET IT! Trust him.We ALL have ruff times in life an this one is his. Just hope for the best for HIM, and have patience, he'll come thru!!!!!
IceMan Collections Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Anybody know how I can get a hold of Rick?
crazyjim Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Good luck. I've sent several emails and a few phone messages trying to buy the business and have never heard back. We lost a fantastic supplier with Scale Dreams. Fortunately, a few others have tried to fill in the void that was left.
Casey Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Anybody know how I can get a hold of Rick? Maybe try sending him a PM, but he hasn't logged in since March: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showuser=2415
Dinky Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I liked Scale Dreams, hate that its gone.... Me too, this was a great supplier to Holland
vamach1 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Turning a hobby into a business can suck all the fun out of it. My hats off to all the part-time folks out there that keep the cottage company spirit alive.
IceMan Collections Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Good luck. I've sent several emails and a few phone messages trying to buy the business and have never heard back. We lost a fantastic supplier with Scale Dreams. Fortunately, a few others have tried to fill in the void that was left. Yeah I was hoping for the same thing. Casey - did that and send him an email I had from a previous order. Maybe he'll respond to one of them. Thanks guys.
Jantrix Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 i take it no one picked up the ball I happens in the cottage industry. I thought someone would buy out Fred Cady's silk screens when he retired. It would seem like a no-brainer, but no such luck,
crazyjim Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I sent emails and left telephone messages with Rick that I was interested in buying Scale Dreams. Never heard back.
1930fordpickup Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I purchased some things from them at the last Detroit show in the fall. With a young couple and a couple of kids I see why they are not producing a product. Just not sure why they would not sell if they do not have the time.

Maybe they foresee a time when they'll be able to reopen the business?
1930fordpickup Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Maybe they foresee a time when they'll be able to reopen the business? I was wondering that myself.
