I think he generally checks the board about once a week - Generally stays in the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum -

I'm sure hes just gotten busy lately - he's gotten good feedback here if you're interested in buying a ring from him.

Thanks for the feedback ... He/She and I are in mid trade mode ... I was curious about what's happening ...

Mid trade is not a good place to be left hanging - hopefully he will get back on here BTW - he is on ebay I think under the same user name could always send him a note there

he posted his email you could send him a shot there

Green enameled silver ring. the green enamel has a very beautiful green hue that goes from light to a dark sothing green reflective tone. You will like it.

I can make the ring any size from 8.5 all the way up to 17, in 1/2 and 1/4 sizes. Rings are made out of sterling silver. Cost is $60 + free shipping. Buy 3 rings and it will cost $165.00. I have other styles, so email me for pics at topringz@yahoo.com. I am not looking to burn anyone so don't worry. I can accept Paypal and Postal money orders. There is a 2 1/2 week wait unless I post rings that I already have. I have a size 11 at the moment that is ready to ship.

I emailed him over the last couple days to purchase the 2 rings I want. He got back to me the same day, and once he'd given me the price, he sent me a PayPal invoice/money request. I just submitted his payment today. The rings usually take a couple weeks to arrive, but judging by the photos and feedback from people that have bought them, they are WELL worth the wait.

I'll post on the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum with my feedback about the transaction once it's complete.

I'm just concerned about him ... I have NO doubt that he'll come through on the trade, but I haven't heard back from him since he said he was gonna make some special alloy for my aggressive wear ring ... I'd imagine alloys require mixing with chemicals ... I'm simply concerned ...

As long as I know he's okay, I'm happy ... I'd hate to think something bad happened while he was working on something for me ... Ya know ???

Thanks for the replies and responses ... YOU rock !!!

Wow, his rings are cool and vry wel done. If he is the same guy I used to buy from, he is a good guy. He did seem to fade on me from time to time, meaning he would be very active, answer my emails quick, then have bouts of tardyness on making the rings and be difficult to reach via email. Ultimatly, I decided to remove the rings from my Mall of Oa as too many complaints of time delays occured. But the guy makes fantastic rings! I helped him make the #2 (Hal's current design) ring! And own the first one he made! It's my favorite! I thnk he may have health issues, thou not sure. Just give him a little more time.

Actually, GLKING filled me in over in the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum, in his topic there. The original guy, possibly the one you dealt with, went by the eBay username coldfuel. He DID/DOES have health problems, so some time ago (probably at least a year, maybe more) he turned the operation of his business over to a friend of his, who goes by the eBay username metalphene. But for some reason, metalphene has just turned operation of the business over to GLKING. So, I'm not sure if you'd still have the same delays, other than the reasonable delay (about 2 weeks) while the ring is custom made for the buyer, in their desired size.

That's reassuring to hear then ... When I finally receive the ring, I'm gonna throw in A LOT extra for GLKING for his troubles then ... Thanks again to Jack ... YOU all rock !!!

What ever happened with this? I was wondering how everything turned out.

What ever happened with this? I was wondering how everything turned out.

At this exact moment in time, nothing has happened between us ... We had arranged a trade ... I received one courtesy email from him on the 5th, but nothing else so far ...

However, I know how life works, so I'm not worried ... Something more immediate may have happened ... I know how that goes ... He'll get around to me whenever he gets the time again ... I'm getting really excited about the ring though ... When it comes to Green Lantern and Green Arrow, it's sometimes difficult to keep my excitement in check though ...

Still Waiting...

I'm still waiting for my 2 rings which I submitted payment for at the end of September. I emailed GLKING this past Wednesday to find out if my rings had shipped yet. Here's the reply I received:

I have ring number 7 and it needs to be enameled. I had a problem with someone and they decided to sabotage my work. I will try to get number four done by Friday.

Thanks

Since it's now Monday, I'm going to email him again today or tomorrow.
