Anyone hear from bbuckner22? He's had a 73 set belonging to me since June 30.

I'm wondering if anyone here has heard from bbuckner22. I sent him a 73 Topps set on June 30 to break on Ebay. He didn't sell it, and I haven't received it back.
Here's the history:
Sent set on June 30.
By July 30, the set had not sold so I asked about it. Here was the reply, via text: "I'll talk to you about the 73's after the National." (We had been trading texts during the show, at which point I asked about the 73 set). I asked what the issue was with them and got no reply.
On August 8, he indicated he'd been dealing with some other things so I took that to mean that had been the cause of the delay. I replied that was fine, and then didn't hear from him for 12 days.
On August 21, I asked to have the set shipped back to me. He replied he would and on Aug 27 asked for my address. I wanted to talk to him about something else so I asked if we could catch up on the phone at which point I'd give him my address. We never wound up talking on the phone.
On September 9, I asked again to have the set shipped back to me. No response. On Sept. 12, I sent another text message without a response. On Sept. 17, I called and left a voice message. No response.
I'm trying to be patient here and give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's frustrating. Has anyone here heard from him? I noticed he just broke a 1969 set earlier this week. All I know is I want my set back.

I saw that coming unfortunately
Hopefully this is a misunderstanding and you'll get your set back!

This may be a classic case of procrastination. Perhaps someone here that you know? Who lives near him and can help in some way?

You've shown more patience than most of us could've shown. He's received the benefit of the doubt and then some. Time to do what he's forcing you to do.
<< <i>I would say you have been more than patient. long overdue for buckner to ship the set back to you with an apology attached.

Sadly that isn't unheard of.

I'm sure Dwight Evans found it and picked it up.

<< <i>Dave sent me a PM after I posted this. I trust that the set is either on its way back to me or will be very soon. >>
Oh sweet, that's good news.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Glad to hear that things appear to be working out. Patience is a virtue.
Currently collecting 1934 Butterfinger, 1969 Nabisco, 1991 Topps Desert Shield (in PSA 9 or 10), and 1990 Donruss Learning Series (in PSA 10).
Hope it works out Ron. Crappy what was done to you.

The writer has been on the boards two years longer than you. That tells me he is pretty credible, especially since he was beyond patient in resolving getting his set back and used the message boards as a last resort.
<< <i>LOL, I'm not saying the OP's post in disingenuous, but length of time on this board has nothing to do with integrity. >>
Ain't that the truth.

The purpose of the thread is to call out a forum member who was holding a set of cards and not responding to messages.
It's bbuckner22's responsibility, if he cares, to reply to the thread with updates, not the OP's.
Ron, I hope you actually got all of the cards back. Hopefully nothing was switched out.
