[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 10325349, member: 40308"] after seeing this thread pop again i figured id give the OP and call to see what's going on and left him a vm message. id dealt with him a few times before in reference to buying some wheels and he was kind of wishy washy but seemed like a decent guy and not the type to scam people on purpose. i know he went to mustang week 2010 and hung out with Rob and Tango and some others. i figured maybe he just got in over his head on this which ive seen 1st time GB people do before. not as easy as it seems and can quickly get overwhelming, especially with custom jobs. he called me back. i just got off the phone with him. i asked him about this GB and told him how the thread was heading and just called to see if i could help out. he said that he didnt know this thread was still ongoing. he said he had a bunch of stuff going on in his life. when he started this GB, he was working part time and had time to deal with it. somebody got fired/quit so OP got promoted and was now working 12 hour days. on top of that, his father became really ill and was in and out of the hospital. and they moved to a new house. during the move, his laptop (only computer) was severely damaged, seriously limiting his access to svtp, paypal, etc.. pretty much when he'd visit his gf and get to hop on her pc for a few. he said he realized he was getting behind on these and wasnt able to get the emblems quick enough to keep up with the demand that was suddenly coming in. he said he saw on paypal that people started filing claims and started getting their money back. i mentioned that someone said they didnt get all their money back because paypal said there wasnt enough in the account. he said that he didnt see a negative balance in his paypal or any messages from them about owing them money or anything.
