I know most of you are getting bored with this, but just an update: I have been calling on a daily basis. Left several answering machine messages, spoke once to a human (female) and left messages with both the human and the machine. Now, the answering machine seems to have been turned off.
I despair. And am profoundly disappointed with humanity. More than just $3000 disappointed.

This situation is not acceptable in this community. :mad:
Something needs to be done starting now. But what? :confused:

This might make a good "Law & Order" episode before all is said and done!

Depends on how good the boys (and girls) in the 68th Precinct (?) are?

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.

I VERY MUCH look forward to being able to convey the good news soon, Brendan. And I hope "victory" can do so as well!
You guys will be among the first to know (though you might be able to hear the cry of joy as I open the package in the presence of the postmaster!).
