How long before…..

Hi all.

I just bought a partial box.  The person had positive feedback.  Said they would ship out in a couple of days.  I did say “no worries at all, at your leisure.”  It’s been 2 weeks and I have written twice to say, “hi there.  Wondering if you have any shipping update.”  No replies. 

I always like to give folks the benefit of the doubt if they have something going on in their life.  Wondering what others would do?  I get that issues come up, but even when my dad died, I still replied to emails.

Just curious if I’m being impatient.

People have different definitions of "at your leisure." ??? ??? ???

Yeah yeah, this isn't Amazon but the level of business acumen and communication sure has gotten shitty over the years.

Has this person been logging on during that time?  Is the feedback recent?  Who is it?

[wailbait]

That’s a great question. I didn’t even know you could check.  I’m going to do just that now. 

I didn’t want to put anyone on blast.  Honestly I’ve been here for ages and have NEVER had this happen before.  (One dude did tell me dogs kept knocking over his bottles but at least he kept in communication.) I’ve just never felt ghosted before.

Ok.  Here are some updates. 

The user appears not to have logged in since June 17 2025. 

I have sent another follow up email to their personal account saying “Hi there.  Any update?”

I sent a dummy “$.01” payment to their Venmo with the subject line that said “any update?”

Anyone have any other ideas?  I might just have to accept it as a lesson learned but I have never been burned here before and I love the community vibe of this place.

Who is it? some might know who he is and can reach out is my only thought.

So you bought the Monte 4’s?

[wailbait]

I did!  It was a partial box with a few years of age.

That seller had very little feedback.  I've not dealt with them before but others here may have.  Hopefully it's just someone being empty headed, while not an excuse for this behavior, hopefully they plan to do right.  I think you should put their name out, it's been enough time and this way others will know in case they surface with other sales.  Even if she ends up making it right, others should know to be aware.  This way others can ask her to ship first next time.  Sorry bud, hope it all works out for you.

Update:
Seller wrote back saying:

Sorry for delay. It's been a busy few days. I haven't gotten them out but will get them packed up tonight and send you tracking

I will be generous and give the seller 48 hours.  If I don’t receive tracking by then, I actually think that is patient on my end and I will release the name.

I’ve def bought from folks with little to no feedback in the past and it has NEVER burned me.  Everyone has historically been cool.
