  1. Did you ever actually talk to Batfan (gilberto) or just received the funds through PP?

    No contact whatsoever. I know of someone that tried to contact him through his myspace page with no results, and this was just a few days ago while Gilberto was online. I was willing to give him a little leeway at first but it just appears now that he took everyone's comics/money.

    That's just really sad. I received the one book from him in late September, a little over a month after I paid for it. Thinking back on it, however, there were some warning signs that I should have given more credence to.
  2. I had hoped I would never have to post here, but sadly I must.

     

    I nominate boechler be added to the Probation List, justification as follows:

     

    Agreement to buy books from him July 6, and payment was mailed to him the next day. First inquiry about the status of books made towards end of July, with response of having been too busy. Inquiry #2 made near end of August, with response being he wrote the wrong address and the post office screwed up by never informing him the package was returned to the post office. Inquiry #3 made over a week ago, PM has not been read.

     

    I think that's been long enough.

     

    Interesting. I purchased a FF48 VG/FN from him and sent it back to him because of some undisclosed stained pages. It took him two months to send me my refund. He has a long list of excuses, uh, I mean reasons: so busy, away from home, wife is on crutches... Also, he does not accept Paypal which should have tipped me off. At least I got my money back.

    Sorry to hear of your guys trouble with him. I sent him a couple of hundred bucks for a raw book and everything turned out fine. (lucky me I guess)

    I think he might know Skinny-White-Boy shoot him a PM and maybe skinny will break some legs.

    I PM'd someone else who knew boechler - he said he hadn't seen him in quite a while. The PM I sent to boechler a month ago still hasn't been read. Don't know whether he's still alive ...

     

    Well good luck with your purchase hope it all gets worked out.

    The books I ordered from boechler arrived today.

     

    It turned out that he had (mistakenly) thought that he had completed the deal. He hadn't logged on here since August and so was unaware that I hadn't received them. The two and a half week shipping time via CanadaPost-USPS added to the delay. The matter is now closed.

     

    Thanks boechler for restoring my faith.

     

  3. To Gilbert's defense, I bought an AF15 from him over the summer, right before San Diego, and he delivered on time, as requested. I'm hoping that there isn't something sinister and that we hold hope for our fellow man...er teenager.

    As of now I'm still holding out that there's a good reason as to why we havent heard from him yet and will hopefully get our comics soon.

    He made this post a while back: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=56&Number=2620628&Searchpage=1&Main=137630&Words=grandpa&topic=0&Search=true#Post2620628

     

    I don't know what to think.

  4. My check cleared October 9th for Conan #1. I have posted another PM and am leaving the opportunity open for Gilberto to respond with the tracking number he promised twice. It is still remotely possible that if he did not use the shipping he promised, the package could be creeping along out there somewhere without a tracking number. I felt it was important to follow up on genrlzod's post in case there is a pattern. Hopefully nothing bad has happened to Gilberto keeping him from responding. However, I see posts in other threads Oct 28th and earlier for gilbertotorres. Right now, the situation looks pretty grim--but there's still hope the book will arrive. If it does, I will certainly post absolutely as soon as possible.

     

    If the book doesn't arrive--well, let's wait and see a bit longer.

     

    Cheers,

    During the VCC in September I purchased Wolverine issues 1 - 4 (mini) from gilbertotorres. I sent my MO out on Sept. 16th. On Oct. 22nd I inquired about the books and was told that they were over looked and that they would be sent out right away. As of today, Nov. 4th I still do not have these books. My last 2 PMs have gone unanswered. As of this moment I am out $57.00 and feel that I will never see either the money or the books.

    He's slow to ship but keep reminding him. He hasn't posted here or at another board he frequently posts in for a week now, so it may be that he's been unable to take care of your orders for some reason or another.
