Just -- literally "just" -- received an e-mail:

Quote:

I promise you will get you groups.

I apologize for delay.

Regards

Eugene
We shall see, and you will know.

Maybe public kvetching works?

I sent:

Quote:
. . .

And advise details when sent, please.

I am sorry if you have problems, but with no communication your previously good reputation will go into the toilet.
To his credit, just in:

Quote:
___,

You are absolutely right.

My problems are not excuse.

I apologize for my behavior.

Regards

Eugene
News of receipt will follow. Gods willing.

Just to clarify the sordid tale:

I am still struggling to resolve the $3000+ group I purchased from Eugene almost two months ago (!). As bizarre as it seems, I have actually gotten the (very interesting) research before the group has arrived!

Money sent, checks cashed and cleared.

No word. No medals.

Many e-mails are sent. Finally I hear from him that he is "in Europe" (so he found a good use for my money?).

No medals, no more communication. Then, I heard he has been sick (personally, when I am "sick", I don't travel across "the pond", but "different strokes" . . . ??).

No medals, no more communication. Then I get an e-mailed "apology" and a "promise" that they'll be mailed on Monday, 19 November.

No medals, no more communication in any form (with almost daily e-mails sent). Have tried calling him (have his phone number, address, and even a Google Earth image of his apartment building in Brooklyn). Left several answering machine messages and one in-person message with an unidentified female.

No medals, no more communication. Now the answering machine has been turned off and the female person doesn't pick up (caller ID?). I think it is NYPD Precinct 68 and postal fraud investigation (ha ha!) may be next.

Now (perhaps due to postings here or elsewhere or interventions by friends?), recent e-mails have come in the past minutes (literally), as quoted above.

I hope -- I really do -- on many levels -- to be able soon to announce the new arrivals.

I would hate to see his reputation suffer, I really would.

And "victor" needs his group too!

I think we all hope that it is sorted soon. Please let us know when you receive your pieces so perhaps those who wish to further continue business with Eugene can do so.
