I mentioned that I would refund the payments....I guess that I should've been clear that it would be Monday morning. Guys, I'm not going to run off with cash or anything like that. I know that we've had a few guys rip US off here on the boards, but I'm not one of those guys. Don't worry, I'll gain your trust back, I'm sure of it.
FYI: The refund requests sent to me were all honored this morning.

Thanks for the kind words and well wishes Mike. I really do appreciate it. And, great lookin' card there!
I'm really sorry how this thing turned out and I wish that I would've been more proactive in getting assistance from folks from the beginning. Well, lesson learned for me that's for sure.
Hopefully I'll be able to regain the trust of the people here on the boards and take myself off of that list of scammers. I am not a scammer and I'm sure that with the 5 years of interaction on these boards and the 28 years that I've been involved with our wonderful hobby that I will be able to conduct transactions here on the boards without others even having to wonder.
Sorry guys.

I received my refund thanks Arny. Just a little advise(not that you want it) if your communication would have been better and more frequent I don't think the guys here would have been as upset about the situation. Good luck getting back on your feet.
Just wanted to concur with Mike's comments. I'm glad that Arny has made good - I too thought it would turn out this way in the end. I believe it should have happened sooner and that there should have been better communication, but none of us are living in Arny's shoes. Hard to say how any one of us would have handled it.
At any rate, I just now finished making arrangements to have my birthday gift sent to me. I'll post here and in the mail call thread - I'm pretty excited to finally land this card.
<<<If everyone is patient - I'm sure everyone will be taken care of.>>>
Is 4-1/2 months (12-8 birthday) patient enough? I see 6 refunds out of the 14 or 15 in total. Maybe my math is off but there still seem to be quite a few refunds remaining.
<<<I hope everyone will find it in their hearts to forgive that incident and be able to work with Arny in the future.>>>
Once the debt is paid in full, I have no problem putting this behind me. The "work with Arny in the future" part is a stretch, however.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but maybe your "wants" outweighed the amount of money available to purchase them.
Arny has shown good faith in starting to refund the money...so I think the additional piling on is unnecessary. Stone’s post from which you quoted summed it up quite well, IMO.

Again....I would pay the difference on any of these cards. This is for both my HOF Player Set and my HOF Complete Set."
I am patient. What would be a nice gesture on his part is to provide a timeframe. I have had zero communication.

3 More Refunds sent today...please send me the bills for the refunds if I owe you funds.
Guys, can we exercise some patience please. Things are getting done and because I'm running around on the interviews trying to get my new job, I can't be on here 100% of the time to get everything done at once.
It's not a matter of not having the funds, it's a matter of making sure that the people I'm refunding are the correct ones and all of that.
Please send me a PM here if I still owe you. Thanks guys!

Good talkin' to you brotha!
Guys and gals, not that you'll be 100% interested (at least not all of you), but I just wanted to share that I went on my first "official" interview and it seemed to go very well.
I've got the drug testing to do now (which I'll pass with flying colors...unlike a few of you! ) and then I've got a follow-up interview/presentation to do next week. Thanks to all of you that have wished me well....it's working so far!

Mike, I'm in the 'banking' business. Tough business nowadays.
But, I am also in the contact center business (including customer service, sales and revenue recovery) and those are doing good as far as business goes. So, I've got a few avenues to pursue.
At this point, the most serious option seems to be the 'banking' one, but it's in a role that is tied in with sales and service. So, it should be a good one.
We'll see!

So here's what I did with my refund. I've been wanting one of these for a long time, and received what I thought was a very fair price from Josh. I'm very pleased.
Matt, for the love of all that is sacred, can you please change your icon if you're going to continue posting about your grande pene (allegedly) or if you're going to go into your scan archives. I mean seriously. Just look at your post. It ain't right.
When I was younger, I could put away a few. After awhile you could look deeply at things and see shapes and such , according to how crocked you were.
This is no lie, and I'm not even drinking or had any drugs or any LSD , but I really see the face of GARY in that pile. Matt you are a genious. I'm a believer now!!!!

Moral high-ground and all that kind of thing.
It's likely a CLCT TOS violation, too.

If the money was sent, and nothing was bought....why isn't the money readily available for immediate refunds?
More of a rhetorical question than anything else.
Successful Deals: tennesseebanker, jvette,
It was good to hear from you.
As I said earlier - I was confident that this would be positively resolved.
If everyone is patient - I'm sure everyone will be taken care of.
Arny's been one of our valued contributors here over my time here and fully trust him now and in the future.
I hope everyone will find it in their hearts to forgive that incident and be able to work with Arny in the future.
Last - Arny - I was sorry to hear about your situation - that's really hard when both are hit.
I wish you and your wife all the best - and hope you both find even better jobs in the very near future!
As always - your friend at CU
