Chaz, I'm curious about pricing on case like Frank. In both 2x4 & 3x6. Thanks, Bikeman

I will clear a few things up for you guys since I am one of the few that actually got his case. Chaz isnt a bad guy, he just put himself in a really bad situation and then handled it worse. The quality of Chaz's work was of the highest quality. Yes you can tell he was young in the case making game compared to some of the greats like Justis, JB, Murnak, Cyrex and several others. But he had a ton of potential and only would have gotten much better. Chaz's issue was he had no business plan to start this business. Even if your starting out in your garage you have to have a logistical plan for the end result. Your cost for making, your cost for material, time, profit margins. A realistic timetable for turning out each case. These were the missing pieces to what prob would have been a pretty successful case making business. But these are the all important logistics and you just cant afford to overlook them. He did and as a result this thread is the finished product. I am pretty sure that he is prob only making a few cases locally if he is making at all. I can only assume that he still owes people cases/money for a while now. So I would hold up trying to place any orders until he can say, with backup from the customers, that he has settled all back issues with his customers. I was blessed to have Cyrex, an incredibly generous man do some finish out work on my case. This case is absolutely a dream case now. I had my day of negative posts about this, but I have been made whole on my case and as a man of faith I wouldnt feel right not sheding the truth on the situation. I hope Chaz has made good on what he has promised, or at least man up and tell those who has given him money the truth however ugly the truth might be. Good luck to all whom are still waiting. I hope that you will be made whole either way.

A friend of mine has one of his cases and it's falling apart. Cheap P.O.S. The stitching at the zippers is all but gone. Where he put the shoulder strap has stretched and almost worn away. If he was still making cases I would have definitely raised hell about it.
 
True

Brian, that is a good point. I am having a lot of trouble with the pocket zipper on mine as well. I got the lid and shoulder strap and pad done by Cyrex so its perfect.

pretty creative kid. jumped in way way way over his head. people on azb expecting something for nothing made the problem worse.

I am owed three cases. doubt I will see any.
 
WOW! Never saw this thread, or even heard about this unfortunate story. With 30 pages, I only skimmed, but what a sad situation. Hope there is some light somewhere down the road for all involved...
 
Yes

Yea he did. Well he was allowing people to just design some outrageous cases for the 250. I had no intention of taking advantage of him and just ordered a 2x4 with a big pocket and my initials on the lid. That was it. I ended up getting a 3x6 with tooling, my full name down the back with cherrys tooled at the end. I also asked for a shoulder pad with my initials. I got a whole lot i didnt ask for and almost nothing i asked for. He kinda just built the case like he wanted it. Luckily i ended up really liking what he did, but it wasnt what I asked for. You will not stay in business doing that. Yea I think you can write those 3 cases off my good man. I was really rooting for his success. I love to be a part of a from the ground type operation. I wish him well in whatever he is doing.
