I really hope you guys get everything that Val owes you. I was one of the lucky ones, she sent me my Puppet Angel and Spike before she went AWOL. Good luck people. :-)

I think as soon as anyone of our "group" receives something from her they should either post here or PM the rest of the gang. At least, if we see she is making an effort, it will help reestablish her credability somewhat.
I also think anyone who has been defaulted on should email her DIRECTLY to see if she contacts you directly, rather than go through Jess. Remind her of EXACTLY what she owes you, cash, figures, etc.. It's been a long time for most of us and she may not remember everything. Actually, I would like to see personal contacts made and apologies given to each one of us.
Without divulgiing her personal situation, she could have emailed or PMed us something like this recent post to Jess, MONTHS AGO. Why she didn't is beyond me. It's unfortunate because if she did, I'm confident that the situation would not have gone this far. Good luck to all and please keep us posted on further developments! -S

I hate to do it as I have not had one single negative transaction...up to this point.
Xander000. He requested to buy a LARGE amount of things from me...totaling over $100.00 He sent me a pm sayong he changed his mind ans that he wanted diffrent things instead, totaling a much lower price. He then sent me another pm asking for more things. Then another asking for even more. His total was over $70.00. He then replied that he would think about what he really wanted because he couldn't afford the items he requested. About a weak later, I get a pm saying that he has changed his mind and that he will no longer be purchasing anythng from me.
My frustration is not that he changed his mand...frankely, I would wrather not do business with him after this interaction and from the things I have heard about his integrity. What upsets me is that I really need the money for school and stuff like that and other people wanted to buy ALL of the things I thought I had sold to him...and like I said above, they totaled over $100.00! I could definately use that money! That's like the whole price of one text book that I have to buy!
So, I advise not to do business with Xander000. He seems like a nice enough kid, just not that trustworthy when it comes to business transactions.
-Jon

Thanks for posting and glad you got SOMETHING from her anyway! Everyone please continue to post here if you receive anything from or have contact with her. Thanks!

UPDATED 10/30/06 Will update progress towards the defaulted deals with Val here.
At this point, I know that the following members have been defrauded or defaulted and their status below:
prophecygirl-rec'd her items 9/26 jesebold-recd items ordered on 8/17/06 becky-got the items she ordered and a gift 8/6/06 can I be anne-rec'd the figure she ordered 8/5/06 drufan granolademonic- rec'd the figure he ordered 7/06 shivi-was paid the money owed her 8/21/06 Willow- received something, but not what ordered- 8/4/06 captainperoxideluv-recd figures on 8/16 (some outstanding issues) sunnydale876-rec'd her items although they needed repair 8/28/06 sidestrike-received part of what he was entitled to 8/21/06
Names in red are still awaiting items/money
I would never do business again with buffyville or ebay user name: buffycustoms.
I also just recently had a defaulted transaction with Master of Pizza: the Collector. He asked me to order hard to find Charmed 1 figures for him. So, I paid out money in advance and in good faith for him. However, he strung me along without paying for at least a month! Now, he tells me he doesn't want them afterall. I would be very careful in dealing with him. Very disappointing.

I received a package and a letter today from Val and it included everything she owed me, and she even threw in an extra.

He did the same to me, and it's not that I don't understand, I just wished I'd been notified earlier so that I didn't hold the items for a week. I was an idiot to be so trusting.

Well I'm on the same boat with you guys! I haven't received anything since I made a deal with her. That is actually the reason why I sold my collection and rarely come on the board. I hope for the people who have been receiving their items that they receive an apology from her as well.

Sidestrike, I am so sorry to hear about your problems too. Especially, if it prompted you to sell your collection and not visit the board as much! I believe that this is a very unfortunate, but rare situation, where so many of us have been ripped off by one person. I've had 99.9% positive experiences up until now. I have added your name to the wronged group. Please keep us posted if you hear of anything.

Thanks for the update, Jess. I have not heard one word from her directly. Although, I have not emailed her thru ebay. I emailed her each time at her aol account. Is she emailing you strictly thru ebay? I'll certainly post if she sends me something. Hang in there guys!

I sent an e-mail to her e-bay account also and received a very nice response saying that on Monday she will be shipping out what I ordered. I'll post when I receive it.

Well, I never thought it would happen....
BUT, I did receive my figures from Val yesterday. I was missing some custom bases she was going to make and some cash she owed me. But, for all intents and purposes, I got the figures that I had commissioned anyway. However, I did NOT receive any explanation or apology about the situation.
So, please continue to post as people receive their items. I am more hopeful now that she will make good on everyone's outstanding transactions. And hopefully, we can put an end to all of this.

I got a message through ebay saying she had mailed my stuff a month ago, but it was returned to her. She said she will send it out on Monday.
