Could they have ran away together??

Joking apart Sam, I have seen much more trusted and established members 'go bad' overnight, and alot of money be lost. There was a chap  on my shooting forum who starting importing scopes and selling them for much less than UK prices. It ran smoothly for months, everyone happy. Then one day he vanished. With tens of thousands of money belonging to his friends.

Stranger things happen gents.

However this wont happen in this case! Those of you who are expecting stuff from Mike, if you want pm me with what you are expecting and whether you have paid for it and I will collate the list and give it to him. He has been helping a man in need and will come good.

I know it wont :)

I'm glad someone seems to have got to the bottom of this now, and hope it can be resolved quickly. I just wish something could have been said sooner.

Yeah everyone has just come to accept it, which is probably wrong after we've paid our money! Good job its off season though.

Surprised how quickly some start questioning the credibility of a couple of longtime members. Thought reputation was everything in this business 8)

I think there should be a forum rule. When you list an item to sell you must be ready to post it within two days, because this is happening so frequently with Mike. I know he's a busy man, but we are all busy people. I'm 100% confident that your money is safe with Mike, but it is very frustrating not knowing whats going on.....

Show me where their credibility has been questioned. This thread is born out of frustration and a lack of communication, not malice. If sellers do not like threads about this being made, then the answer is simple, do not treat their customers like expendable commodities.

Perhaps spend a little more time integrating into forum life before stirring the pot again next time. When your £200+ suddenly vanishes for weeks I will expo t nothing but infinite patience and decorum.

Until all items have been delivered, as much as certain absent members are defended by others, the truth is we just don't know.

I'm not sure it is workable on a two day system, but certainly a week. There is a general lack of willingness by authorities on forums to punish shoddy behaviour of established sellers. Not a criticism, but a truth. Never does opinion side with the newbie who has been waiting weeks for his item. For all the kind words in this thread, we are no closer to getting our items, so I'm not breathing that sigh of relief quite yet.

@ jonpinson - I really don't see the point of three different comments one after the other on a topic which doesntr belong to you. People have their opinions and there are some people out there who, like Mike and Pete, who have more important things to take care of. I love how a person relatively new to the forum in comparison to Mike is proposing a new system with regards to orders. Just find out how many happy customers Mike has, he makes up for his lack of time in other ways.
