Frank, before sending ANY of your business to Mr. Roush, please do a search on NMB to see what others think of his "prowess."

Ken, from the tone of the post, it could seem that Frank is not offering work, perhaps his reference to 'others' is a clue?

Frank,

 

For what it's worth, you are doing the right thing by reporting to law enforcement. It may not do any good as the wheel of justice is often downright sluggish and non-functional, but at least you are not going down without a fight. Best of luck to you and others in the same situation.

 

Regards,

Hoanh

follow Franks action . Time to shut his guy down for good.

Must mention the help I am getting from the board members especially Matt Lapoint who has been outstanding.

The Eric Roush Non Appreciation Society.

 

Is this a possibility?

 

Could you not!

 

Gather together, as many aggrieved parties as possible on to one list, and then as a collective take up a lawful case, sharing legal costs?

I live in Santa Cruz and am within easy driving distance of his "new shop" and the Watsonville courthouse. Eric has had a Kanezane blade of mine for two and a half years now and has ignored my communication for several long stretches of time during that period. I actually confronted him with a police officer at his house in August before he moved but he assured us both the sword would be finished in a month and he had actually done some "work" on it. Like an idiot I let him keep the blade and he gave me a few more bunk deadlines before ignoring me again. I have this week off work and plan on trying to track him down and if not file a small claims suit against him. Any advice from members who have gone through similar situations as I have never had to sue anyone before?

Also it may help to try and establish how many peoples items he still has as he told the police officer with me last August he only had three blades to finish polishing and then he was going to just be a dealer not a polisher.

Jay,

Wouldn't it be easier to file a stolen property report, and then take the police to where you locate him?

This needs more than a small claims filing imho.

Jay ,

He has one of mine nearly finished ?.

If you go visit I can provide photos and would be delighted if you took it away and then we can sort from there .

Live out of country so a tough one to sort for me.

Jay, Frank and Chris. Hope you dont mind me asking, have you paid him any money up front?. As he ever asked for more money with excuses like "is there any chance you could send me $300?, i need new stones to finish your blade". Jay, do as you did before, go with the police. My advice previously was spurred on by the fact i had to deal with a similar situation many many years ago, not nihonto related, but a complete pain in the ass.
