All sample chips from my escrow is shipped, cheers! The status was finally updated after the chips have already arrived...

All sample chips from my escrow is shipped, cheers!

Nope, they're not dupes AFAICT.

I confirm that raging told me in a PM not long ago that he would be helping him to handle the stuff here.



1. Avalon have not responded to any of my communication methods (phone, Skype, PM, even the ticketing system)
Here's the last ticket I sent them regarding a separate order:

Being Processed since last 21 days 2 hrs

If someone would give me their addresses I would send a physical formal letter to them already as the communication's been absolutely unacceptable.

I would not release information unless he's absolutely away from the forums as stuff like this would be permanent. I admit that I'm pretty close at times to do so though...

Nah, Sandboxie's more geared towards keeping stuff from getting out from the box then to keeping stuff from getting in. 

If you were to think from a different point of view, you'll notice that the tag is essentially a pseudo-ban on the user's account here anyway. Most scammers would abandon ship at that point so the account is not used anyway afterwards. That's the same with the new rating system, where an account that obtained negative ratings would be abandoned unless the user wants to amend his wrongs. Trolls are banned outright as they do not care about doing business/getting funds from others - merely posting worthless stuff and trying to derail discussions.

Now that I've thought about it, trolls/spammers = want to post stuff and hence the way of banning them is to keep them from posting, whereas scammers = want to get people to send them funds and hence the way of banning them is to keep their credibility next to nil, where a scammer tag or the new rating system does.

Well, the forum policy since a long time ago was to ban trolls (as they impede the speech of others), and tag scammers. Scammers aren't banned outright as they could repay and resolve their issues, but they might still be banned if they start trolling. I believe terrytibbs (and Matthew himself) was one of the prime examples here.

Please note that the chips may ship without warning as I've received confirmation from another operator that the sample chips were shipped without any changes in my order page. Damn Avalon!

Please note that this is not my group buy, nor I have any involvement with this. I only have his information as I escrowed another group buy for him separately. I've PM'ed him to respond here.

Please note that the chips may ship without warning as I've received confirmation from another operator that the sample chips were shipped without any changes in my order page. Damn Avalon!

PS: Can you post the entire email header here (taking out your email addy if you want)



What?

LOL. Theymos sounds like my Nigerian prince promising me my own island!

PS: I believe all PM's and stuff have been sorted out at this point.

A bigger and more expensive ring, pfft.

Please post in the thread for future tx's, thanks. I might miss PM's and that's why I mentioned specifically to post here/PM OP.

As always, please remember this:


Please pay and confirm with OP and in this thread after you've done so. I assume that the transfer message will be sent out in waves so that to ease the load on poor friedcat. Note that the escrow fee is paid by the seller here so no fee would be required on the buyer's side.

Thanks,
John

Please state and agree to the conditions (if item is received damaged, item lost with tracking, customs fee etc) beforehand.

If possible, GPG sign your agreement to prevent any discrepancies later on and please ship with tracking to prevent problems during delivery. GPG signing is not a requirement, and any verbal exchange in the form of private messages or posts on bitcointalk.org, or email is effective as a statement of condition.

The fine print:
This Contract is solely generated for the purpose of facilitating the transaction between the seller and the buyer, which refers to the pseudonyms used on bitcointalk.org.
The escrow holder, John, assumes and gives no liability or guarantees on the satisfaction of all parties involved, although he agrees to mediate and facilitate the deal to the fullest extent he is capable of.  On the event that any problems arises, he will release the escrow to whichever party that presents him with the most convincing proof and/or after an open discussion with others or theymos. 
The verbal acceptance by both parties (or the failure to reject) and the sending of Bitcoins to the escrow address above constitutes the acceptance of the terms and conditions stated, and the activation of this Contract.

Please understand that I am assuming the risk of holding the escrowed Bitcoins, and I am using my own time to facilitate this transaction.   
I am imposing a fixed and nonrefundable fee of 1.5% for this transaction, pre-paid to 1NB1KFnFqnP3WSDZQrWV3pfmph5fWRyadz before the start of the escrow.

If I am offline when the BTC is received (please check on blockchain.info), please consider the escrow active (and go ahead with shipping etc) when the transaction gets 3 confirmations or more as the escrow address is unique for this transaction.
Also, please understand that I do not live in the forums, and may need up to 48 hours to release the escrow afterwards after confirmation is received. The average time for escrow releases is within 5 hours after the confirmation.

Thank you.

John (the escrow holder)
