AM member refusing to reply after accepting money

I hate to do this, but I feel that I've been left no choice.

Approximately 2 months ago I sent AM member Richard Davis ( Woodsman on CN ) a deposit for one of his custom eyepiece cases. There was a slight delay in building it (original quoted time was 2 weeks) because he had to wait to get the specified wood, and I was understanding of that. Anyway, on may 18th, Richard contacted me and stated that he had received the rest of the materials needed for completion and that he would keep me informed of the progress....never heard from him. After numerous attempts to contact Richard, I have yet to receive a reply :C I actually, out of concern for him, posted on CN to see if anyone had heard from him lately as I felt that maybe something was wrong- he hadn't posted in a while.

Well, this morning, I found out that he has been posting over here in the politics forum . I immediately sent him a message...and again have been ignored. I Really didn't think that Richard was a person of questionable character, but now?

Sometimes a little communication works wonders :S

Hi Kurt:

I know that Richard's Astromart private message box has never worked. It is simply broken for reasons unknown. I will bump him in politics and I imagine you'll hear from him soon.

Was this deal done as a result of an Astromart classified ad?

Or was it over on CN?

I sent my Tak to TNR for cleaning and realignment expecting a 4-6 week turnaround and had to get pretty pro-active after four months to get it done.

Waited a long time for my G11 back in the day.

I'm just saying that these small shops often do get behind (tscope). Sometimes they get pretty big and still get behind (discovery). Sometimes they get so far behind ya gotta wonder "what was I thinking when I setn my order in?" (Burgess)

Anyhow most of the time you get the goods.
