    you get what you pay for. i bought my first saber and while it is good i soon realized that making your own is far more satisfying.

    I recognize two of those hilts I have owned a couple at some point. truth is they are good hilts, mainly for show. Static hilt or stunt. Really did much better with building my own from TCSS parts. The maker of these has the right intent just that the hilts them selves are not all that great to try and work into a fully functional saber.
    thought I would do something pretty cool with the Zayne Carrick hilt, I really did not get that far.

    Ya, I'd stay far away from these if I were you. Unless you like a lot of glue and not much more.

    These have what you call "20 yard weathering". They look great if you put them on a shelf 20 yards from where you are standing.

    thanks for the info everyone. I'm finding more and more that a lot of these supposed sabersmiths quality work is maybe not so quality, even if their heart is in the right place. :/

    As a general rule, if you have to sell on easy, and the price is dirt cheap, it's highly likely that the quality isn't so hot. Most decent saber smiths do not need to sell on eBay, though it might happen from time to time, but the price will not be $100-$200.
