Several PPC cards on Amibench

[prowler]

I WANT PPC CARD!  :-x  

-edit-

Just emailed him. And as for what we could do next there are a few possibilities.

Try and track down the card if it has been sent, if possible.
Get someone that lives in Germany to pay him a "visit".
We all meet up as a group and go down there ourselves!

Any other ideas?

Someone said on this thread though that they know him and he is reliable, apart from the delivery time.

I to want my PPC card as well as the CyberPPC GFX card I ordered. I really want to see some of those PPC demos that have been released over the last few years.

Once (if?) I get it, I should finally have an Ami setup to be proud of (And wanted since I was a starving High School student ) I have the 4000 waiting, I bought a 3.1 ROM for it to install AmigaOS 3.9 onto, 128Megs of memorya spare 40Gig IDE HD to plug into a budha controller, ethernet card and an old AD516 sound card. All I need is the PPC card, oh and also do that sound fix thing since sound seems to have died on one of the outputs

Can we do the trip option? I have never been to Germany before and it is spring there atm isn't it ? I need a holiday

This is only the third time I have ordered anything from overseas and both times before it has taken 2-3 months to get to me The date on the postage stamp also matched when they said they posted it. It is definately annoying.

Have anyone asked for tracking code? In some countries you could track your parcel when it comes to your country. I won ebay auction about a week ago. Seller sended that package to me as economy at 28.03 and it came to Finland at 2.4 German post is using DHL for parcels, they don't have online tracking for these ones, but maybe you could ask from them?

[JaXanim]

Nope. Not me anyway.

I haven't yet.  Anyone else got any reply?

[T_Bone]

uh oh. this looks like it might become depressing  :nervous:

I have had no email reply either yet. What we should do is maybe wait until the end of April at the very latest - as that would be over a month since he sent the card. Then we should have to take this situation by the scruff of the neck. What action we should take is another matter. Would we let him know about this thread?

Guys,

Since no one received their cards yet in ANY country worldwide, it is clear that he probably never sent anything at all. He may be late with availability or something, but I am very pissed in any case.

If he is for real, then he's got terrible skills at selling over the net. His availability to answer questions is practically non-existant.

The question is, what do we do now?

[punkpie]

Keep annoying him?  If we keep sending email he has to reply to at least one at some point.  I hope.

We could ask him for some sort of proof of postage?  If at all possible.

Also, has anyone here actually seen a photo of any of the cards he has? :-?

Hoya!

I do not want to be pessimistic but it seems you have all been screwed... :-(

It happened to me a couple years ago when I ordered my 06 from a guy. It was supposed to be fitted with 32 MB but I only got 16...

I hope I am wrong... B*stards are part of the peecee world, not of the Amiga one, aren't they?

@MAD:

Yes, it looks like so. The fact that no one received anything yet, in my mind, makes that theory in favor of others.

[Van_M]

Has anyone actually asked him if he accepts people for in-person collections and payment? If I was interested in buying, I'd email him and say "Listen mate I live two towns down the road, can I drop around and collect it myself?". If he said "yeah sure. Email me to set up a meeting!", I would write back explaining him I'm not really living in his area, and I would like him to post it to me. Sending that amount of money to a person that no-one has ever heard about before, is just plain stupid! Sorry guys...

[x56h34]

Well if you go back through the thread a bit you'll see a confirmation from Lemmink that the guy was legit when them two have done business in the past.

This still doesn't mean that Bernd didn't con us though.

[guest1955]

Maybe someone should pose as a buyer with a different email account, and then they could see if his response time is different to those he has already recieved money from. If he replies to that first, instead of replying to any of his other mail then you can probably take it that he is a con artist.

[guest1955]

Also, maybe it's time for a roll call, of who has bought something from him, what it was, and how much it was for?
Then you can have a better idea of the scale of things, and clarify if he has over allocated a certain type of card.

Couple of things id like to say here:

First off, i'd be very much suprised if he wasnt already aware of this thread, its not as if its on some obscure unkown site :-)

Secondly, has anyone phoned him to see whats happening? IIRC someone did have his phone number...

Thirdly, you all have his address, what town does he live in and is there anyone here living local who could call round if things do turn sour?
