For those of you also checking the Topps message boards, you're already aware of this; I apologize for the duplication.

The full thread can be read here:

And I repost my first Topps posting from January 16:

 Hello Richard,

Apologies for having to address you on the Board, I felt I had little choice since I haven't had any email reply from you in over a month, despite repeated attempts.

Recap details of our trade (of October 19 2004) run as follows:

My: Star Wars Heritage CARRIE FISHER autograph
ForYour: Return of the King Update PETER JACKSON autograph
AND Your Two Towers Update ARAGORN costume

I sent the Fisher auto Insured on October 21st, and you confirmed it's receipt on Nov 15th.
You furnished me with an Insured # for your package on December 9th. (I assume it was airmail)
As of today, (Saturday, January 15 2005) your half of our trade still has not arrived.

Given the length of the interval, I feel confident this package is not going to arrive, you should start an insurance claim on the lost package to recoup your loss, and prepare a replacement package immediately. Both the Jackson auto and the Aragorn costume are currently listed for sale on your WWWsite, so I assume you must have them available in inventory. I see no reason for further delay.

This time, rather than send them to me directly, Roz has kindly agreed to be a forwarding agent on my behalf, so I would appreciate it if you would post the cards to her immediately, whereupon she will forward them on to me. She awaits your confirmation of your posting of my 2nd package.

Respectfully submitted,
Andrew Allen
Minneapolis, MN

Thats is strange that MPC has not replied yet... he is usually pretty good with emails and while sometimes he has delays in receiving and replying, it usually is never this long.

Hope this gets worked out - MPC occasionally checks in and hopefully will see this and sort it out!

I've had a similar problem with him, but i have just received an email from him, explaning that his computer has had to be repaired so, he's now trying to catch up with everything

[cowblue]

I hope you get this resolved soon....computers down or not....still managing to sell but not to send?

Unfortunately I must concur.  He's posted in this forum as recently as the 17th of this month. (3 days ago)

He regualarly posts here and is clearly selling a lot on eBay, but he has not returned any of my emails since early December. He owes me some stuff too.

Still no word as of February 2nd.
The 2nd Peter Jackson he had on Ebay came down for awhile, I had hopes that good sense had interceded and he'd sent me my due, but no, it's on Ebay again.

I note the # of Ebay auctions he's keeping has INCREASED since this thread began.... so much for computer difficulties.

I note he hasn't posted since my thread began.  Have I chased him off Yakshak?  Is there anyone still dealing with him who can comment on his status?

Thanks,
Andrew

I won one of his auctions on 20th of Feb., but I haven't received it yet.  The only e-mail I received from him was the automatic one sent after winning the auction.

[Tower]

I was asking a question about one of his items 1-2 weeks ago. I never got an answer.  :'(

[olly]

Still not heard anything from him.  

[cowblue]

....that is so annoying......

Its not nice when things like these are being said about you....

Its  not like Richard does not know some of us forum members...what the hell is going on?



.......Perhaps Olly,  if Richard is having a stall at NEC, pay him a visit & see whats up?

[Sharon]

MPC are still definately sending out cards.  I received a LOTR chrome auto today.  It did take a little longer than usual but nothing for me to worry about.

Looks like I was lucky!

I received my card today from MPC.  I would have gotten it 2 days ago, but it required a signature and no one was home.  So it appears he's still doing business, but just not replying to e-mails.

I won't be at the NEC in April, which all I can say is lucky for Richard.

[Goofyjas]

I heard from him today, he was also on the topps board, maybe give him a ring olly

[Nienna]

Dunno if that's a good thing to suggest he do or not, judging by that last post of his!
At least you've heard from him Zach which is more than most have done of late ....

[cowblue]

Read his reponse on Topps forum


cheeky person...suggesting buyers running out of patience!

I have dealt with Richard on a couple of occassions when he was trading under old name...cant remember what it was....... & both times took ages to get stuff through & you never got responses to emails.

[Nienna]

That was probably his 'collectorsolo' ID ....

I must admit he's terrible at not replying to emails and I'm never sure if he receives them or just deletes them unread ... hate to say it but it doesn't inspire much confidence in buyers when there's little or no response from him does it?

[thethedew]

I have responded to Richard on the Topps forum.

Best,

[Nienna]

Good clear response there Andrew and I hope you get the same in return!

Good Luck and I'm keeping my fingers crossed this can be resolved quickly.
