Did Anyone Purchase an XL1s from Tippecanoe_ites on eBay?	Can't Post

I did many weeks ago and still have not received it. I was wondering if anyone else has purchased from this person and what their experience was.
I have corresponded with a couple of people who did purchase and did receive their camera after a very long wait.

I think this person was asking an honest question and it is YOU who not only sounds like a complete moron but also and idiot! Get over yourself!

Did it take long to get your refund? She's been getting a lot of negative feedback lately, many complaining about how long it's taking to get their money back.

Nikki was put in jail, is out on bail. 50+ customers fighting for refunds. if you're not already getting email from this group let me know. PS the guy who went off on the original poster should feel pretty stupid now (unless that poster was Nikki Brindle in disguise) just the kind of tactic and just the kind of language she might use.

Thanks for the info. I sent you an email. And since you mentioned the possibility of Nikki being the one who went off on me, I remebered an email where Nikki said she saw a post I made on a discussion board asking about her. She was getting defensive about me "checking up" on her. How did you find out that she was out on bail?

I ordered a Powerbook back on June 12. Asked for a refund about a month ago of my $2,000 and she said it would be processed shortly. Now she's not responding to my emails. She seemed honest and responsive to me throughout the transaction, notw I don't know what to think. Will I get my money back?

I bought a laptop too and have been put in the same situation. Local authorities say it looks grim that we will see refunds anytime soon. The FBI says they are working on it and will be sending out affidavits to people who filed complaints to the IFCC department once the case is settled. If you haven't filed a complaint yet, here is the website: http://www.ifccfed.gov/

Please see this link. I too ordered a laptop then after 5 months of waiting, asked for a refund. It looks like we won't be getting any money back. But, at least she's not operating.

I have purchased the camera and now want my money returned (as she promised)... I emailed her, even called and left messages, and in the past 5 days (3 business days) I have not heard anything back from her... having over 2600 dollars stolen from me is not what I'm looking for, so she better come clean or I will press charges... She lives in Indiana, about an hour away from my house... I'll knock on her door if need be... So, as for right now, I'm not happy or comfortable with the situation!!! Neither is my lawyer!!!!!!!

:: I too have purchased not 1 camera but 2 cameras. It seems that she has been stringing me along since Sep 6th. I am out over $5,300.00!

Ive been waiting for 9 weeks and she has stopped answering emails. I think she got me for $2840.00, any advice besides filing complaints with IFCC?

Halifax Lawyer [In reply to]	Can't Post

I did a search in the search engines on "professional lawyer forums" and I found your web blog. I am a Lawyer in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and thus my interest in searching for a lawyer forum on the WWW looking to see how the rest of the world thinks about lawyers and see what trends and technology are happening in the world. I also was interested in a forum for my law firm, that is if I can understand the technology of operating a blog and from what I see I am somewhat hesitant at the present time.
The point on the benefits of forums over a basic website is practical but is it legally acceptable. We were discussing whether peoples comments are legal binding to non computer setting laws. In general is forum text (comments) legally binding and unaccountable/accountable, in that what section of the criminal code and by what geographical location is the law accountable too and why?
I will be back later to read your reply.
Respectfully yours
