Hi everyone,

1 year ago I contacted Nick Wenger for a project, but after few emails, where we decided which prop he could create for me, he stopped to reply. And yes, I wrote more emails to have some news...

Did he change email (I used the email on his website), or something happened to him? If you know him please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help! I really want to contact him Smile

Hello Everyone, I am Barbara Wenger, Nick’s wife. I know many of you have been reaching out to my husband and not had much success in getting a response lately. Within the last few months, Nick had been battling an illness that has kept him away from his work, as well as, social media. The positive news is that he is improving slowly and I expect that he will be back up and running within a few weeks to a month or so. For those of you who have business with Nick, I kindly ask that you remain patient and can assure you that Nick will be in touch very soon.
Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and support while he works through this difficult time. We both appreciate you reaching out and I will be back in touch with an update soon.

Sorry to hear this. Hope Nick is recovering. Has anyone heard from Nick or his wife since she last posted this 3-4 weeks again?

A post on FB says he is much better and hopes to return to shop this week.
I don't understand all I know about this

Well after a 2 year wait for my prop and 2 years of him not answering emails or calls.

Then receiving a junk prop that did not function.

Then him being a rude "insert" word here when I told him it did not function (he actually replied to that email).

Long story short I lost a good chunk of money and time for something that didn't work.

When I originally posted this years ago the cafe mods threatened to ban me, if I kept posting what happened to me.

They also deleted my post.

That's because then his reputation was stellar back then. Then when others started posting similar things everyone realized he's a scammer.

If anyone still wants to do business with him that's your thing, but I post my story to prevent the same thing from happening to you.

BTW Nick never made it right or offered to make it right.

He told me back then if I send it back and it does not work he would refund me 30 percent and keep it. However, if it works he would keep it and refund me nothing.

Since he's not honest I would lose all my money and send him back the prop to repair and resell. So it's still in my closet if he ever wants to make it right (though I might get struck by lighting first).

I have bought several things from Nick over the years and they always worked. Occasionally, I needed a repair and he always took care of it reasonably. Sometimes it does take a while, but he is not a scammer .

Wow, that's just plum crazy to say that if he finds it to be working that he would just keep it. He's off his rocker if that's true
