Nope, paid him as soon as I saw the advert.
Have had a few messages that he was away with work, and also the books were in a village a few miles away and needed collection.
Last message promised to send them on Tuesday last week.
Have messaged to confirm posted and to ask for tracking number, but nothing received back.
Has anyone received anything off 67 July ?, hope this is not a scam ! |

Exactly the same story as me. I’ll give him till early next week and I will contact PayPal for a refund.
Not good. |

I too have paid for a copy and have not received it. It looks like July76 has visited the site yesterday. I have requested a refund so we will see what happens.

Said he’s away with family issues until 16th May.
I sent a message saying I will wait for a week from this date, unless he has posted with a tracking number to prove postage, I will request a refund as well.
Shame as I do want the book, hopefully will sort it’s self out.
Seems like there are a few of us waiting books ! |

| Lucky I paid with paypal so I can get my money back. Ive asked for a refund, you cant tell me that he hasn't got two mins to sort that on his phone etc. I smell a scam. Not happy. |

| If he were on the HAMB website he would be getting a visit from someone that lives close by. Just to encourage him to do the right thing. |

I'm leary of people who say "These go for $500-$1000 on Ebay and I don't think that's right. So I will sell them at a huge discount because it's just the right thing to do."

| Seller briviera2579 on eBay out of Spain got some recent negative feedback peddling the same book. Might be the same seller on here. |

| I believe it is the same person. My brother bought book on ebay, once purchased seller told him he was away from work and had to go pick up books from a different location as he had several.After initial response, seller has never contacted him again. Luckily my brother paid thru paypal and has filed a claim to get his money back. |

| The store operator for a car club I belong to had a request from Spain for a very large order, like he was starting his own region of our club. I googled the shipping address and it came up an empty lot. We never heard from the guy again. Is there anyone on Samba that lives in Spain that could pay this guy a visit? |

| All interested parties who have made the reservation will have their book sent by the indicated date. I have answered each of the contacts. I understand impatience but sometimes unforeseen events occur. Beware of threats |
