Re: All members please read.

YankeesFan09 ~

In today's mail, I received all the items I purchased from you. I have also cancelled both PayPal claims.

I said I would offer a full and public apology if you ended up not being involved with other users IDs. From the start, I said this shouldn't turn into a witch hunt. It was not a "guilty until proven innocent" situation, as some said. Facts unfolded and some needed to "man up."

I got a lot of email -some attacking you, some attacking the other user IDs, some attacking me. I got all sorts of false and misleading information with allegations of users from Viriginia, to Missouri, to Michigan. Some provided other information: Ohio and Wisconsin, and matching IP addresses. Most didn't offer proof. And even as we waited for shipments, other questionable user IDs popped up as support. It just got deeper.

But what matters is the truth. I bought three items from you and you mailed the three items to me. Period. For this I thank you. That is all any of us on this forum want is a clean, honest, timely transaction.

I offer my sincere apologies to you for involving you in a "perfect storm" of bad events that were occurring on the board and had been for some time. It did need to stop and we all paid a price. But hopefully, the site will be a bit better for it. Common sense will hopefully prevail: that the multiple IDers will know we are watching, that sellers and buyers stick to the truth in their emails - our word is our bond.

I hope you accept my apology. And we'll all abide by the forum rules: one ID and honest communication. This forum is a valuable asset. Honor can't be bought. We earn it with friendship and trust. A chance for redemption is rare gift these days, let's not take it lightly.

"I got all sorts of false and misleading information with allegations of users from Viriginia..."


Not at all jumping the gun, but nipping any potential "issue" in the rear....

I certainly hope that line wasn't some sort of jab at me or directed at me in the least. Though it's obvious it was.

I've done nothing but try to be helpful to you. The information I came up with about individuals in Virginia was based DIRECTLY off of information provided by YOU. YOU said the user ID was UWMrules09......in reality it turns out it was UMWrules09. I based my search off of your typo.

I'll be sure not to assist anyone in the future. Apparently help isn't appreciated and when that person winds up being wrong in their assumptions...those who tried to help get the finger pointed at them for providing "misleading and false information".

Nice to know your true nature. Thanks.

Re: All members please read.

Exactly, one of the IDs was/is UWMrules09 not UMWrules09 as you keep using.

I didn't call anyone out by name for the emails and there were many more than just yours.

I apologize to you as well. I knew your efforts were very sincere in trying to help!

Yankeesfan09/Steve should be commended for how he handled himself and this situation. I'm not sure many of us would have been as calm, polite, or patient when wrongly implicated/unfairly treated.

Helen - Glad you got the issue resolved with Yankeesfan09.

Email me on the package I have had on hold for you for over 4 weeks as I really want to complete that.

Thanks! Andrew

Kind of ironic she seems slow to pay anyone, but has no problem calling people out for slow shipping.

Helen, as I stated in my email, the bats you agreed to buy are now for sale again. Any subsequent payment will be returned less fees. I will not respond to any of your emails/posts.

I posted this here because my last email to you went unreplied.

I am sure sorry you feel that way, but I understand. I got caught up in the middle of a scam that was happening on GUU and spent days trying to get them to send my items and research all the characters who were involved, tying up my PayPal account, and wondering if the next purchases were people I could trust. All the while starting another round of chemo.

I apologize for not being better at letting you know what was happening but I just didn't have the energy. I've always let people know approximately when I'd be able to pay and if they didn't want to wait that it was fine. Usually I get the deal done close to that date. I've made a lot of great purchases on here from a lot of great people.

I hope you are able to sell your great bats quickly.

Re: All members please read.

All,
I'd like to put in a few good words here about Helen. I hope she doesn't mind me posting this, but as the previous posters just alluded to there's a reason why she may be a little slow in responding to emails or perhaps even recalling certain deals she's a part of. Just be patient. From my own personal experience, she's been one of the nicest and easiest people to deal with here.
