Has anybody had any contact with Curt Vendel?

I'm waiting on two of the Legacy Engineering Group's Atari 2600 PC joysticks that I ordered awhile ago. I've tried to contact Curt here, and haven't gotten a PM back.

Did anybody here order these items and receive them? Shortly after I ordered, the order status on Curt's site changed to these items being out of stock and that they were back-logged on shipping them out.

Curt has had health issues. I know that he was in the hospital not that long ago. I don't know if he has fully recovered or not.

Ok... well, I want to make it clear, I'm not accussing him of being a "bad trader" or anything. I suspected that something was up when the items didn't show. I just used this thread because I figured if anyone else was in my situation, this would be the forum and thread it would be showing up in.

I told him in my last correspondence there was no hurry. I think it was only $40. If someone could get a note to him for me, though, I'd appreciate it.

I hope it isn't serious and he gets better soon. If things are difficult for him now, the same thing applies, there is no rush.

power7714 was sent money over a month ago for a Pico, Snes games, Nes games, and a GBA flash cart. He stopped communicating, sent nothing.

Paypal decided in my favor, however, they were unable to recover any funds
from the seller's account.

STEVE Contact me immediately. Anyone who has information on this seller should contact me with his details. I'm going to be forced to pursue fraud charges against this person.

Well I shipped it out...2 weeks later I get most of my Neo stuff back, some in pretty bad condition, like my new cracked system.
Yeah they musta played the hell out of it....
Never heard from him again.....Always wondered who's atari games I got since he never recovered them from the theft at his house...
There is so much more I left out, but this guy threw out soooooo many sob stories and BS after I sent the stuff out.
LIAR LIAR LIAR at least keep your stories straight.
Sorry...just a VERY sore spot for me in my first year here.

This has been biting my butt for over a month. User atariauctions answered my wanted topic for a 5200, offering a boxed system complete in the box for $60.00 + shipping. I PM'd him offering $75.00 shipped. The next day he replied saying $75.00 wasn't enough to cover shipping, so I asked if he could find out how much shipping would be. Never replied after that, and I wound up buying an XEGS off ebay (several days after his reply). And what really burns me is that he had actually read my second post just hours after posting it, so I know he hadn't just been away. But of the bright side, I would definetly reccomend ebay user briansbizzar, ships fast and packages stuff well.

Unfortunately, that kind of stuff happens a lot around here. Get used to it. At least you weren't ripped off. Fortunately, getting ripped off does not happen a lot around here.

Avoid farthingwood74 on ebay. Another seller who tries to cancel the transaction when stuff sells at a low price.

THIS SELLER IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!!!
Sold me a NTSC Mangia for $400 - which was PAL and now I can't get a refund from him.
AS CROOKED AS THEY COME - will try 101 ways to get out of a refund.
Still going through the refund process with ebay - hopefully I will get it - but the seller will give you any excuse not to pay.

Next time you should ask for screenshots! And stay away from auctions like this...........NTSC Mangia, Bumper Bash and Gashog often turn out as PAL games........
