1/8 IC Fan - Item Never Received
Hate to do this - he seemed like a good dude, lots of good feedback and an active contributor to the community but enough is enough. I know the guy works offshore. I know the guy lives near Houston and this was around the time of Harvey but I also know that he claimed to ship AFTER the hurricane went through and he has been on RC Tech as recent as 10/3.

Hello,
This is my last effort to resolve this politely - so I am sending an email to your PayPal email address BEFORE filing a dispute. I sent payment to you on August 19th for an RC car listed on RC Tech. I was told it would ship when he was back on land in the beginning of September. I said no problem. On 9/4 I was contacted and he said the car would ship on 9/5. I said thank you. On 9/18 I sent a message asking for a status update since I hadn't yet received the car (2 weeks after supposed ship date). No response. I sent a second request for an update on 9/25. No response. On 10/6 I sent my last message requesting an update and at that time I made my intentions clear that without an update I'd take further action.
I am now to the point where I am about to take further action - but in an attempt to not cause issues for anybody I am making this last attempt to resolve without filing disputes, negative feedback, etc.
If there was an issue with flooding/hurricanes/whatever then tell me. I've shown 100% that I am not unreasonable (since this has dragged on since August and it is now November).
In the end however I am not just giving my money away to somebody for no reason. I will be filing a PayPal dispute on 11/2/2017 unless I hear from you.
Feel free to reply to this or on RC Tech.
Thanks,
Drew Manzella
Sorry man but my patience has run out. I tried to work it out without it coming to this.

But... I am currently offshore for work, I will not be able to send this until I get back on the 1st.
But I can also hold it in the mean time.

Do you remember the period correct body I need to get for it? I want to say it was the Ascari but I've raced 12th scale on and off since 1988 so it all blends.

I also covered the PayPal fees since you are giving me what I consider to be a very good deal.
Thanks again.

I am 100% confident that I have been very easy-going about all this, sending 2 prior requests for updates (at 2 weeks and at 3 weeks).
I don't believe you are trying to steal from me but I am also at a loss as to why you won't give me an update. You have been on RCTech - and posting after I have sent messages.
I really need an update (just an update - if that update is "I forgot and then we were dealing with flooding - I will ship when I get my shit back in order" that's fine) or I will have to take the next step, which I don't want to do.
I'm likely one of the most reasonable dudes on here. Most would have filed a PayPal dispute by now.

Even if he's got a legit reason for the delay, there's no reason for you to have to wait this long. I would have filed a claim weeks ago. He hasn't logged in since almost a month ago.
He may still be legit and like his sig says he may be working. But that's still no excuse.

Man, I hate to see one of the good guys end up here. OP has been extremely patient and has gone above and beyond.
I'd be hard pressed to accept any excuse since the seller logged in here as recent as 10/3. A quick pm response goes a long way.

As far as a quick response - thats all I have ever asked for. I never sent threatening messages or gave ultimatums. All I asked for was an update.
I legitimately wanted to give him every opportunity possible to make it right before I did this because he does have a very good reputation here and the last thing I want to do is be the guy who ruined it for him but I'm not in the business of giving money away and this has gone on long enough.

Yeah i am back as of today. I have also comunicated with Drew.
I was focused on getting my house back in order after Harvey, and getting back to work to pay the bills. As such i was not thinking about anything else.
That being said, what feedback Drew left is fair and correct. I have been out of touch.

EDIT: And for the record - someone else saw this and brought it to my attention so I'm not the one who originally saw this discrepancy..
