Hey everybody,
I just wanted to let everybody know about whats happened over the past 2 years. I had a R1 gold plated by Max and bought a custom gold plated R2 done by him. The R1 took about a year to complete. I've also purchased some Japan exclusive shoes and had all of these delivered without a problem. After a bit I wanted to get a Mars Crater gold plated. He ended up telling me about a custom gold plated MJ. So I paid for both customs to be done. This was just over 3k USD, and sent July 28, 2022. I got a message from him on the forum about the prep work for the frames being done August 5, 2022. Since then I haven't received an update on anything. He stopped providing updates on here, so I had to send him $1 USD through Paypal to get his attention after waiting for over a year. He later emailed me and apologized about the lack of updates. Then again went silent via email. I had to message another forum member to get his WhatsApp info to get Max to respond. After yet more reassurance I wasn't scammed and I would be repaid or have the work done, he went silent on WhatsApp.
The timeline for me has been the following:
June 16, 2022: Sent $1489USD for gold plating (also screws) and black Dillon lenses (Mars Crater).
July 28, 2022: Sent $1529USD for gold plating (also screws), leather work, and Gold Tsuyakeshi lenses (Mars Jordan).
August 5, 2022: Sent pictures of the prep work on Mars Craters finished.
November 3, 2022: Asked for update (Was told you would ask tomorrow, never received an update).
March 21, 2023: Asked for an update (Was told you would ask tomorrow [person doing the plating was sick], never received an update).
June 5, 2023: Asked for an update (Was told you would ask tomorrow [Life happening], never received an update).
October 26, 2023: Asked for an update (*Responded November 20, 2023 - was told you would ask tomorrow, never received an update).
February 3, 2024: Asked for an update (*Had to contact you through PayPal: responded March 17, 2024 - Told you would ask tomorrow, never received an update).
April 17, 2024: Asked for an update (*Had to message another forum member for WhatsApp number to even get a response)
I have sent a message asking for an update on June15, 2024. I haven't had a response since April 23,2024.
So if anybody has outstanding custom work with Max, I don't think you'll ever see it or your money back.
