EURO LENS GROUP BUY it's not going down, Time to send money back Options

[phillstek]

It's getting close to 5 months now since I sent my money for this group buy and I'm starting to get annoyed as the lack of product and information really drags on and on.

I sent Shoe a PM suggesting that he should not have to be an apologist for AA and that perhaps it was time for George to chime in... I never received a reply so I'm going public with my frustration.

Am I the only one feeling a tad pissed about the delays and the distinct lack of input from George?

What's actually happening? How long is it going to be till we get these items?

Let the flaming begin,

Phil

OK, I'll bite. George a couple of things you fail to understand and still haven't addressed. I'll point them out to you.

The timing of your/shoes offer just happened to coincide with me getting my car back on the road. I expressed an interest in being included in the GB by adding my name. I thought this coincidence was rather fortunate for me, and like 70 odd members decided to take advantage of a great deal.

Shoe then revised the number down to 50 (on your authourity) and contacted me via pm saying it was time to ante-up. After a couple hiccups and some emails, shoe got my payment via paypal within a couple of days.

That was in September, since then I've been continuing to prepare the car to get back on the road after having it sit in my shed for 11 years.

If I'd been told these items could take 6-12 months to get I would not have joined the group buy and purchased them elsewhere.

I've owned the car for 22 years. I've just spent another $12k in that time (since Sept) getting the things done that needed to be done to allow to me to get her back on the road.

I'll still need to throw probably another $20k at to get it to where I want it to be.

If I totaled up the money I've spent on this car over the years my wife would kill me, including mistakes and being taken by the shonks I reckon it would be around $60-70k!! If I want to throw $100K at it that's my choice.

Your lenses are a drop in the bucket. They haven't dented my budget.

You don't have dibs on the passion people have for these cars George. You might have the best, rarest, largest 914 collection on the planet. No doubt you've made a tidy living from these cars. I'm sure your knowledge on 914's is vast and you are an authourity on them.

All I want from you is a straight answer on when I might expect to recieve the goods I ordered and paid for. If you can't provide that, then as the title of this thread suggests it's time to send the money back and I'll take my business elsewhere.
