Well, I have to tell everybody in this group buy, you've been great. But we have a problem. atlwteboy240 has seemingly disappeared. I've had no contact with him in well over a week. I'm totally flabbergasted. When Paul (Doohickie) stepped away, atlwteboy240 PM'ed me to help coordinate things and I didn't hesitate. I wanted everyone to get their decals. Even though I'm dealing with a lot of difficult issues in my life right now I was willing to try to do this.

But he simply hasn't done what needs to be done. I can't believe he's not embarrassed. Letting the club down. Disappointing 22 members in the group buy. I have no choice but to say he's now out of the picture.

Now we need to find a new source for the decals and here's where the problem is. I hardly had time to coordinate the group buy.. that was as much stress as I could handle right now. Going out and finding a new source for this is simply more than I can take on right now. Doohickie mentioned he might be able to get back in and possibly look for a new source but that's up in the air.

So... as of today I'll send refunds to everyone. The thing that kinda is no fun is that when members send money via PayPal, say, $15... it's really only around $14 because of PayPal fees. But I will refund the full original amount. Actually I guess we all lose because PayPal probably takes fees from your refunds, too.

So think about it. atlwteboy240 has me come in and do this. I do all I can in good faith..he pulls this disappearing act... real class guy he is, huh?

I'm sorry we couldn't pull this together. Paul tried... I tried.

Just know, I did my part the best I know how. I stepped in and stepped up so that the group buy would continue. But the guy who was going to make the decals apparently decided he doesn't care. In the back of my mind, I wonder if he still will try to offer these decals on his own at a higher price outside of this group buy. That way he wouldn't have to donate a portion to the club as was originally promised. But I don't know what his problem is.

All refunds will go out in the next couple hours.
