well with 10 people reporting to have paid, hopefully all funds should have been cleared and the first order could be placed by early next week?

With about $1000 bucks too by my calculations. I hope you are taking the mickey for the sake of all concerned. Still glad I went out on my own, for the extra $20 bucks I should have mine before any of the others are even ordered based on the lack of clarification of our missing leader.

Dont stress, i was only joking. I'm sure he is busy with the normal work/family/chores stuff that we all have to attend to, and a group buy on an internet forum is probably NOT priority no. 1.

Just relax, everthing will be aaaalright. :D

No worries. It's reliable info too, thehanko told me himself the other day when I ran into him at the ca...si...no... Oh crap. :twisted:

if people only paid sat/sun then first time to transfer funds would have been Monday with 2-3 days for funds to clear most would not have been received until Wednesday. Wouldn't stress until next week.

Not that hard to find him if you check his profile/signature.

I am getting concerned too. Wish I had done it on my own I would have the thing by now. I really hope we haven't lost our money.

Call him Wednesday and see what happens.

You all gotta calm down. You were quite happy for hanko to do all the organising, get you a good deal and then post it to your door and now your all blowin up cause he didnt to it in record time. Hows about you give him a chance. If you all act like spoilt school kids no one will put there hand up to do something like this again.

Dominator, I think people would be greatful as long as there was communication. The original discussion was the order would be placed when 10 people paid. That has occurred so all we require is a status update and I think it would lay everyones concerns to rest.

I agree, there is no hurry at all, I (and others) are just concerned that there hasn't been an update since we all sent him our money "in good faith". The problem is not that we haven't got the stuff yet its that we haven't heard anything from him in over a week, when previous to this there were daily updates. I just want to hear something, anything.

yeah thats what i'm thinking too mate, were not worried about WHEN its more of a concern IF they're coming. But hey we could all feel really terrible when he tells us his dog died or something..... :roll: maybe.

Ha ha,

After getting through all the work sitting in my in box, I had time to read through all the posts since i went on holidays.

$1000 rip off scam, who would bother. seriously. my web site is listed below for anyone who is still concerned, there is even a map with directions for the lynch mob :shock: .

feel free to give me a call if anyone is concerned.

my mobile is 0401 646 349

or my shop number can be found on my web site.

Its all good guys.

we will have our gear soon - well those who paid anyway, only half have paid so far, the payments take time so do the payers.

I ordered a fuel heater from the states and it arrived in like 5 days. so fingers crossed this is the same.

it was 11 needed for the first payment, so now thats all in it can process it. group buys take a little time guys, you save 20% and thats the trade off. but am really sorry about being offline for soo long. got a little carried away with my first holiday in like 18 months.

and it was 8 days between the first payment and the 11th. it all takes time.


anyway the list of people noted above have all made the first order which has been lodged with auberinstrument and paid today, so it should be in a plane in no time.

Thanks

Ben
