I know there are quite a few makers that use pewter or lead and cadmium free cerro alloys on knives and hawks. I ordered a 2.5 Lbs bar of pewter from the only Ebay seller of it right now out of CA. His prices were very reasonable compared to the commercial suppliers. I received an envelope with a 2" hole in it along with a thin paded envelope inside with another 2" hole inside. The bar obviousely punched out of both envelopes.
I contacted him and explained the problem and let him know that I would send pictures the next day of both envelopes. He said not to bother and that he had the delivery confirmation and that I was being dishonest. So I had to start the dispute process with PayPal. In the last 24 hrs he has sent over 12 harrasing and threatening messages via Ebay (not smart). All of this hassle over $23! He could have had me promoting him on four seperate knife making forums by just refunding the money or shipping another bar but instead had to play hardball.
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up so you can avoid a headache/hassle.
