I have a Force 3 Version 1 silver mask with black padding, no harness. There are two little scuffs that I have pictured. $75 shipped. Screenshot_2016-10-04-21-26-17.png

Man, I really covet a titanium mask, but I've spent soooo much money recently that I just can't justify it right now :(

If I went with that then I'd never end up buying anything because not everything works for everyone.

I have a +POS ZRO-G that some people dislike but I find super useful. I was trying to buy another one on here and have it sent straight to Tony at Mask-It but he just stopped responding to me so I guess he doesn't want the business :(

I had one break from a foul ball, and I had one that has a dent. My back-up is in good shape, it has moved to back-up to my Rawlings.

The break was where the loop comes up to the bar at the bottom of the eye slot. Foul was in a D-1 game - had to switch masks mid game. The TW pads did their job.

He probably just didn't see your email. He's always been a awesome at responding for me.

He apologized (in a sense) to me on how long it's taken on getting my two masks back here to me, as he has been traveling for work. He finally got home after two weeks out.

Dyna-lite with doeskin pads sold, pending transaction. 

Sold! If you're wondering why I'm deleting them as they sell it's for storage purposes.

No, he did, because he was responding and said he was trying to figure out a way to take payment from Canada since I can't mail a USD cheque. I followed up four or five times over the course of about a month and never heard back from him after that. :(

If a/the titanium mask bent, it means it did its job and it was a massive force of impact that hit it. Titanium does deform, just like steel does. There are two problems unique to titanium versus steel, though... the first is that because its elasticity, mass (density) and creep is much less than steel it treats most impacts as unilateral and transfers energy through it into the pads instantaneously. It has nearly no absorption or dampening whatsoever. The second is that within moments of deformation (bending), it begins to harden, and to bend it back it takes a force equal to and just as abrupt to the one that caused the bend in the first place. This is highly impractical for most owners to accomplish, making it nigh impossible. Thus, your $250+ mask is now a paperweight. To fix it, you'd have to send it to a shop which would likely invoke a $150+ invoice. Not worth it.

I'll sell pads/frames separately if you'd like. I'd especially like to sell those Honigs mesh pads.

Mike, a number of years ago, I had to send money to BC. My US bank converted my US $ to Canadian $ in the form of a bank check/cheque, which I then mailed off. There was a small fee involved, as I recall. Couldn't you do the reverse?

Paypal should work in Canada. I just bought some imported pepper from a friend up in Revelstoke. He's even got a .ca email address.

I use an online bank primarily, so that doesn't really work. Besides the point anyway, since he's stopped responding to me.

PayPal does work, but Tony doesn't have PayPal set up. I offered that as the first thing and he said he'd look at getting it set up and then stopped responding. Too bad :(

I will try to help you, no promises though.
