@didi/2-mad: you seem to be the only one who still is good friends with stefan and who hasn't been screwed: can't you talk to him and ask him about michael's machines? when we had this big blowout on the german forum he PROMISED him AGAIN the machines were going to be delivered, but once again he didn't get anything. man, it's been almost 6 MONTHS!!! btw, stefan is not answering my emails anymore ...

How do you come up with them?  ;D Thanks for a great few minutes back to memory lane, especially around 2.19 minutes, what a nice ****.  I sure had some posters of them in my room. But I didn't recognize Angela.

Well in my head there were the words "HE's a liar" and I thought of this song but it turned out that the song was SHE's a liar.

Haha, yeah noticed it too :D Gotta love the "big hair", the make-up, the completely amateurish video etc.

Although Patty and Anita (the two "leads" in this song) were the _obvious_ best lookers, I always had a weak spot for Esther.....  ;D ;D ;D ;D

And Ria, R.I.P........

just got word from 2-mad who talked to stefan on the phone: he (stefan) promised him (didi) that michael's cabs were sent out YESTERDAY and that the shipping company would get in touch with him (michael) because of a delivery date!

fingers crossed!!!

This is also an appropriate eighties movie

But jokes aside, this is getting ridicules, this guy really knows how to turn his business to shit.
Glad I received my pcb’s from him a while ago but I’ll never buy from him again.

smells fishy to me as well, but what somehow makes me believe in this nevertheless is the fact that 2-mad seems to be the only person who hasn't been screwed by stefan yet and who still can talk to him. so let's see how this turns out. what's another couple of days after 6 months?

I really wonder how Stefan does this. Is he making up documents? Is this just a price quote that stefan asked for at the shipper? what is it? Anyway, he is unbelievable, and a joker. Do you remember that he said that he would have an extra 100 cabs for his postponed garage sale (which is now cancelled forever Í beleive)? They don't exist, as Ully already said, and 2-mad did confirm this to me last week in a PM more or less.

I hope that Michael can put an end at this in a few days. I did notice on above slip that there was no value mentioned. does that mean that there is no insured value also?
