Yup ... and as long as Impact! is open you'll keep getting those until you have received 50% more than we pay a professional sculptor for the same size figure.Pakulkan escribió:Como apunte decir que yo sigo cobrando mis royalties del night elf runner varios años después de su venta, algo de lo que hasta yo me olvido la mayor parte de las veces... pero Tom no, aunque sean 4,5€ cada trimestre...
I need to clear this up I guess. I've been talking to Fabio yesterday via email. He made it very clear to Impact! that yes it is us he is talking about on this site. Gaspez believes that his figures sell so well that there is no way we could still have any left from his last order and so what we have left must have been recast. This logic is not professional though. I know several stores that still are selling some Impact! figures that sell well for us many months after their last order. I don't automatically assume that they are recasters and out them on my website. If I really had concerns I'd email them first and ask what had happened. I want to be clear that Gaspez never emailed us to ask about the stock we were still selling.2- Veo muy feo lanzar acusaciones sobre "empresas desconocidas" sobre las cuales das todos los datos posibles para que se sepa quiénes son, pero de las que no dices el nombre a las claras cobardemente.
I think it says a lot that the person that sent out the emails from Rolljordan that night was permanently removed from the company yesterday. Folks ran email traces and the messages came from the same server and the person removed and Fabio at Gaspez are known to each other pretty well from communication with the person removed in the past. I have no grudge against Rolljordan now. The owner stepped in an permanently removed the person who it appears worked with Gaspez to send out the emails ... I could not ask for a more professional way for Rolljordan to handle this.3- Qué coño pinta un mail de Gaspez en el mailing de RJ? Por lo que entendemos, amigos amigos no son. O por lo menos no como para compartir la contraseña del correo. Esto es sin duda lo más extraño, ya que, (aquí si tiene razón) RJ no parece tener nada que ganar y mucho que perder enviando este tipo de mails.
As for handling this matter on the forums ... I really didn't have a choice. Two companies worked together to accuse my company (now that I have confirmation from Gaspez that it was Impact!) of the most evil thing a miniatures company could do. They used website posts and mass email to do it. My only way to try to counter it so I did not look guilty from being quiet was to take my response to the public and make it clear that I think recasting is evil and would never do it.
Gaspez yesterday made it clear via email to Impact! that he doesn't think we still have original stock and offered to buy it all. We have 183 figures left worth around 400 Euros (that was what we paid Gaspez for them). I sent a full list to Gaspez last night along with a PayPal invoice for them. Yes I could make more money selling them from my site but if a company doesn't want me selling their figures and are willing to repurchase them ... I'm not a jerk who won't work with them. (again Gaspez could have learned all this if they just emailed me before starting all of this). I promised Gaspez I'd remove them from our store as soon as I had payment. I then sent the picture to show his merchandise still in original packaging sitting on my desk with a letter dated Dec 1st and asked him again for some professionalism to remove the false accusation from his website and I would work with him to settle this. I was disappointed to wake this morning to no payment, no email and Gaspez still having the false accusation on his site.
What is funny to me is that we were selling off the Gaspez inventory to get enough money to handle his minimum order size to switch our inventory of Gaspez from individual figures to full teams in January/February next year. We like the Gaspez figures as well and we saving up to place another order carrying their figures in a different way than we had. Gaspez sent us an email yesterday saying they were not interested in selling to us anymore which is their right. But to refuse sales based on an accusation that you've made that has been proven incorrect ... if the roles were reversed ... I'd apologize to Gaspez and take his money.
New plan is to take that money we were saving and use it to try and add another new sports game to our store that we needed $1400 USD to get produced (which is just slightly more than our minimum order with Gaspez). So its all good ... Gaspez refusal to sell to Impact! means we can work with a starting game designer to hopefully get his product in our store early next year.
That said ... I still really am not pleased that after the photo evidence that Gaspez is still unwilling to remove that notice from his website. To me that is really unprofessional since the accusation is so very serious in this business.
