This gets better and better..

On Amigamaniac's contact-page it reads:

"Sorry everyone, I've had to delete yet another webmail account as some lovely person has been inserting my e-mail address as the return path for mass spamming :-S I'll set up another e-mail address and post it here once I've completed all the back orders. *If you are still waiting for your order, I will e-mail you shortly, after which you will have my new e-mail address ;-)"

I think leaving the guy alone and let him get on with it. There's no scam going on here, he's had some problems and he's doing the best he can to set things straight.

It would be a shame to loose Nathan from the community, the prices and hardware top notch.

Yes I did. I think you have up to 45 days. I understand that health is a precious good and the lack of it can screw things up really fast. Doing a business today stands and falls with communication, which is a little more fastpaced these days due to internet.

Hope Nathan will get better, good luck to everyone!

Has anyone got a working email address? I honestly don't mind the wait that much but I'd at least like to know that he's alive and still aware I'm waiting. I'm as patient as they come but it's been nearly a year now.

@alc

same here.  now there's no contact, no updates on status of my order and this really bites.  spend over $100 ...  where is my stuff now?  approaching 1 year.  if he cannot fulfill orders in timely fashion he should refund people's money or provide updates???  sell what you have in stock ready to ship don't pre-order from people.

Nathan Cadwallen <nacad@amigamaniac.com> has disappeared.
 
I've waited almost 2 years for a working RGB adapter and a whole heap of other stuff, over $60 worth now.
 
I really want my money back....any ideas on how to get it back now!

Wow what a shame... His products were good. I got one of his rgb to svideo adapaters is anyone would like to buy one and have it shipped the next day, let me know... I got it when I still had classic amigas, tried it but didn't use it past that... 50$ by paypal shipped anywhere in the continental us, and I promise you I will ship it the next day after you pay and give you usps tracking info...

I don't have a classic amiga anymore but I was holding on to it just in case. Does not look like I will go back to classics, so if someone wants it, like I said can ship it for you the day after paypal payment is received. PM me for paypal info...

Hope he is okay, he was having health issues. Had many a good conversation with him via email.

Hmmm this thread is starting to worry me. Nathan was cool and very responsive when i did business with him about 3 years ago. He even had a bunch of new projects in the works. There must be something really wrong. :( Is there anyone nearby that could find out if he is ok?

Its unfortunate for the amiga community.

I dont know why but so far I never was able to get anything reasonable from that region of the world. nathan, and another guy from australia trying to sell a cpu board

First taking weeks to reply to a pm, then coming up with a lame excuse being away( although he logged in the forum daily) and then saying the deal has to be done within 24 hours...should have just realised then to give the boot to that chap)

Sorry needed to vent and that has nothing to do with nathan.

Hope nathan gets his act together.

Best we leave him alone for some time.

Several people have asked about the rgb to svideo adapter from him I have that I'm willing to sell. Someone even requested pics, which I sent... First pm who says they want it and will send paypal gets it. Will ship the next day.
This was tested when it arrived, worked great but never really used....

Otherwise, I'll just hold on to it for if/when I get a a classic amiga again...

Nathan is a straight up person who is just a one man band who was over whelmed by the number of orders.

However his current behavior is not normal, and he was unwell for sometime I just hope that nothing serious has happened to him.

Don't we have a phone number to call him?
Now that international land line calls are almost free for everyone, it would be better than just worrying on the forum.

Calling him is proabably an good idea... As I haven't got any email from him with his new address I totaly consider him an liar and a theif. DO NOT BUY anything from him ..
