relicraider back in business, sort of

He's had to raise his prices, and only offers the badges for the #200 zippo, and he'll list what he has, when he has it on his site rather than taking individual requests, but still, this is a good thing. I hadn't seen a lot of activity on his site for some time and im glad that he's okay, and happy that he'll still turn out a few LC zippos from time to time.

Glad to see this... I'm a proud owner of one of his LC Zippos and LOVE it.
He was a great guy to deal with when we did business as well.

He said he's currently working through a backlog, but once that is done he should be able to post a few up on the site.

Dag right! I've got my ziplight with the metal badges. I want the regular badge kit to hook up my regular zippo.

It's probably my favorite piece of gear and I usually ONLY collect Raiders! It's THAT good! I have two (one #200 and one 1941 model).

Everyone should have one of these, I've got one of his 1937 replica zippos with the clover badges and I carry it almost daily.

I would like to order from him, but my system doesn't want to work when I click on his "Email Me" link. I can't find him in a search for members. Can someone help me contact his so I can place an order? Existing stock is fine with me. Thanks in advance.

You can't order from him via email anymore, he may have disabled the link. I have his email saved from previous purchases. When he has lighters available he will put them on the website and you can probably order them then. Until he has extra stock I think he is not taking orders, since he is trying to work through his backlog now.

I know he was having some personal issues, to maybe he ended up having to call it a day. Or, his local host is down for some reason. *shrug* Could be any number of things. I hope he's okay, though.
