Ok, I've decided if I don't hear anything by July 14th I am going to file a claim with Paypal. That's right on the cusp on the 180 day limit and I'm living hand to mouth here. As much as I love CC's designs and artistry I simply cannot afford to toss money into the void. It's upsetting that this even has to be a condition to plan for.

Of course I'd rather have the Clacks, I adore Clacks and any chance to get one is a treat, but the combination of time and not knowing is starting to outweigh my appreciation for his craftsmanship. I sincerely hope it doesn't come down to that though because I really want more skull buddies to keep my fingers company. :(
I can pay you 50$ at july and you can return it when you get your clack.

As was said by others, I'd pay you for the ticket as I only got one win(JD day, was one of the last few before JD)
"Only got one win"
 :'(

If anyone should be sold to, it should be either someone clackless or didn't get in..

I said the same in my mind thing when I saw that earlier.

Only one win!? You guys are funny.

Must we come down to Pay Pal dispute? Someone send CC a snail mail or something.

To be fair, it would come down to that with anyone else. You can't just keep letting someone get away with not giving you any information on a product you were promised. It seems like people are just so lenient with CC because:

A) You really want a damn keycap

B) You like him (And know that he isn't a "fraud")

C) You're patient because you know he has personal issues: sickness, minor ailments, etc.

Yea those are great things. But as you see, some people are starting to get really annoyed about it.

CC was last online about a month ago.

I hope he hasn't had to go back to hospital!

If he has, it would definitely explain why he is not around, and a PayPal dispute would be unlikely to get his attention in that situation either.

He'll let us know.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Would be the first time I get a clack something happens XD

Well I'll just keep on waiting I would recommend others to do so, but try sell the ticket please instead of filing a claim as claiming could screw everyone over if his paypal gets locked :X

Did the Simpsons do an episode about keycaps?

I'm still not understanding why people are just so cool with allowing this kind of behavior? This is a bad way to handle business transactions. Frankly, I think it's irresponsible to take a large amount of money from a group of people and be, essentially, silent for long periods.

If you are prone to illness, have a system in which a friend/partner will be able to communicate with your buyers instead of leaving them in the dark.

Seriously, if this was anyone else, most people would be raging and wondering about the status of their purchase.

I'm not saying CC is a bad person, I don't even know the man; however, I don't think this should be disregarded so lightly. If people are sick of waiting, then they should be able to ask for their money back, or at least, a response of some kind.

CC has done a lot for GH.  He is talented, busy, and generous, albeit somewhat randomly.

It is very much unlike him to disappear like this, especially when he has a sale on, or is processing the results of a sale.

Which makes me think that something is really wrong.  He even dropped out in the middle of the Radnelac to to to hospital - not a good sign, and definitely not something he would do deliberately.

He has never failed to come through in the past, usually with something pleasantly unexpected.

Wonder how many people have already claimed with PayPal and how it went. Surely people have done it and kept quiet out of fear of public persecution.

This. Last year in this time range he did 4:20, EDD, cancelled on the "cocktail" themed sale, and then did 4th of July. 4:20 and July 4th were the 2 consistent (for years) sales, so if he doesn't show in the next month, something is seriously wrong.

As I said, it's not good for your reputation and can really make the community restless.

I have nothing to lose, so don't think of me as a ticket holder raging. I've just been observing. If anything I hope nothing bad has happened, however that is extremely careless not to have a system in place.

Wonder how many people have already claimed with PayPal and how it went. Surely people have done it and kept quiet out of fear of public persecution.

And this is sad, because it should not have to come down to either of those scenarios. People shouldn't have to ask for refunds because of a silent seller. People shouldn't have to be scared to post about how they are going to try and open a dispute.

Clack's been doing sales for years and years on GH and through EK. He sold a lot of clacks on clackvent but he must have sold far, far more in the past.

I don't understand why people are worrying. Do you really think that clack would scam people out of their money after all his years of work? I don't, and I can't understand why anyone would think that.

Clack mentioned being in the hospital. It's quite possible that he's had to return, which would explain the halt in clackvent shipments.

I would just suggest that everyone sit tight and wait. Don't worry about not getting your stuff. I know I'm not.

Yep, doing the PayPal dispute is just going to distract him from doing what he needs to be doing (whether it's health, work, personal, or keycaps).

I get what you guys are saying, but ever since I've been here he's been completely reliable.

I urge you to have patience and just put the issue out of your mind. If you need the money back for financial reasons, just say so and I'm sure someone will buy your ticket from you. Or give you a loan.

I just said this to someone in a PM. I think you guys would really regret it in the end of you went the PayPal dispute route.
I'm back.

If you all recall, he showed up every day of the Clackvent - even when there were days which we thought he was too busy but he still turned up at that last minute just before midnight.

And he turned up during 420 because it was, you know, tradition.

He was totally reliable - unless circumstances beyond him (such as hospitalized during a couple of Clackvent days)

I believe something must have gone terribly wrong. As for setting up a system to get the communications going, perhaps he's single?

Hang on guys.

Also his last words where to make us tear our hair out, maybe is a big joke? :p Just hope he's okay might be worth someone finding out as I know some of you know his actual name due to the other art he does, just to check he's okay.

If you're living this tight, is it responsible to be purchasing clacks anyway?

Better to just sell your ticket to someone else instead of ****ing all of us over by possibly getting cc's PayPal locked.

I think that a lot of people have a lot of anxiety in the unknowing. My guess is that if CC made a post saying it would be another 3 months until all the orders are filled people would be OK with that.

For perspective, how long would you wait until you started worrying?

My original thought for this post was a lot more contrary but I decided that it is not helpful. From past experiences with CC, I am sure there is a reason and I am sure he will follow through. It is understandable though that people are anxious because they paid a lot of money for something with no clear indication when it will come.

I think most people can imagine better things to do with ~$100 than an unintentional donation, despite circumstances.

Holding out for ~5 months is very generous compared to patience for almost any other transaction.

Perhaps I could've worded it better.

I'm not worried about not getting my clacks because CC is scamming us.. I don't understand why anyone would worry about this. I don't understand why anyone would consider doing a chargeback. I will never worry about this even after years have passed, unless it becomes clear that something dodgy is going on (e.g CC starts visiting the forum again, does not post, does not ship out any more clacks).

However, I am worried about CC himself and will continue to do so until he makes a post. I hope that he is OK. I think other people should be worrying about this too. However, if CC is unwell chargebacks won't help anyone.

Call me a pessimist, but doesn't someone who spent a week in hospital then disappeared have a possibility of being six feet under?  Can't call it a scam but I wouldn't mind my money back from paypal if he is.  I couldn't, even unknowingly, sell something that isn't coming.

Unless all those who are still calmly saying it will be OK are in on some hair-tearing scheme testing us newbies? :triangle:

Ok, I've decided if I don't hear anything by July 14th I am going to file a claim with Paypal. That's right on the cusp on the 180 day limit and I'm living hand to mouth here. As much as I love CC's designs and artistry I simply cannot afford to toss money into the void. It's upsetting that this even has to be a condition to plan for.

Of course I'd rather have the Clacks, I adore Clacks and any chance to get one is a treat, but the combination of time and not knowing is starting to outweigh my appreciation for his craftsmanship. I sincerely hope it doesn't come down to that though because I really want more skull buddies to keep my fingers company. :(
If you're living this tight, is it responsible to be purchasing clacks anyway?

Better to just sell your ticket to someone else instead of ****ing all of us over by possibly getting cc's PayPal locked.
Yes. Anyone living paycheck to paycheck needs to stay away from this hobby.

And I honestly could care less about the money at this point, I'm more concerned about CC.

I've got hundreds of dollars in group buys that have no indication of when they will deliver, this is a drop in the bucket.

And noisy, why not put spumoni on ebay you'll make 10x what you paid for clackvent.

It's not about the money, I just don't like getting ripped off. And the only four reasons I can think of why someone would cease all communication after taking sales money from a group of people are:

Death
Jail
Kidnapping
Running with the money

It's 2015. Who can't find 2 minutes to get to an internet and just tell people that their investments are safe? No one would do that, it makes zero sense. And as it was mentioned CC went out of his way for 2 months, even when he was fairly certain he couldn't make it, and yet still managed to make it onto GH and post. There's no logical reason and I think you guys are putting far too much faith in CC. This is extremely unprofessional, and made even worse that not a single person can even get in contact with him. What would you have me believe?

What, you don't have hobbies? After work am I supposed to come home and sit in the middle of my room in the dark? Psh.

I had to strike "Running with the money" off your list. It makes no sense. It is more lucrative AND fulfilling to continue his side project/passion/art/business.

And, you are right... it takes 2 seconds to check in. Hence, something is wrong with him.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have spent the money. I'm not saying that your situation hasn't changed. I'm saying that clearly money is a factor, which contradicts what you said. That's all.

Couple reasons why im unsettled,

1. No responses or updates from CC, seriously an "im alive" would suffice. He followed Clackvent every single day until it was over and then disappeared.

2. People saying i am impatient. I didnt sign up for a groupbuy, i paid for keycaps and CC altered the date from a week after payment, to after clackvent is over, to ???. When CC was communicating with the community on dates nobody had an issue.

3. Taking the money and not invoicing. Why would he take the money for caps he didnt have on hand to send out. Im assuming they arent made yet because of how few were sent out already. CC thermal prints and could have the post office show up and scoop all 200 packages and mail them for him if the caps were already made.

But yes my main issue, is the lack of communication. Alot happens in 4+ months (moving,mail theft,etc) and nobody is getting answers from him trying to change there address's.

I was really sad when I decided not to participate in the Clackvent sales. I has a lot going on for work and realized I would probably A) not get in and B) not do work for 2 months. The few clacks that have came out of it though have been awesome though.

Man it would be so easy to scam GH. I'm actually surprised it doesn't have more often.

If you dudes want to file a claim with paypal, why don't you? **** what everybody else is saying.

CC has been legit for years, but if you don't feel like waiting anymore just file it already. Less talking and more doing.

Why, because I think in the end I'll get what I paid for. Like I said previously, the man isn't speaking but we don't know why. Maybe the incident he had during clackvent is very serious and his health is a bigger concern that plastic caps. Or maybe he left the country with the cash he made out of clackvent. We don't know.

But on GH, no updates is generally a bad sign.

So, I came upon this thread which was a great read, btw
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=10347.0

and in that thread, back in 2010, CC said:
Quote

Quote from: audioave10;192377
I hope your chest injury is not severe...

Well it didn't look that bad! =S haahaa
I had a broken sternum from a car accident a while ago, and I am having chronic problems unfortunately as a result =(
Though recently (crosses fingers) its seems to be getting a tiny bit better.

It's not new news but chronic sounds serious and very long term. So, perhaps this problem reoccur and he was hospitalize under some care and just couldn't get online to post. I mean, maybe he did get a phone to talk to someone but I bet talking about GH or even thinking about his business would probably be the last thing on his mind, if he's in a dire situation.

Hey, anyone asked Brian of EK? He might know what happened or shed some light.

I honestly camped that thread so much it actually affected my health. It didn't matter to me at the time because I just wanted to get a spot in the sale but now it's like why did I bother.

Definite mixed emotions. In saying that I sincerely hope CC is okay, if it's out of his control then I understand.

He also has a number attached to his Paypal but I don't think its a good idea to call him...

Honestly I agree it is very fishy that he suddenly dropped contact even though he was very active during pretty much majority of the ClackEvent. Makes me worry something really did happen to him.
