Okay folks, so, some new information has come to light in the past hour (no joke) and the spreadsheet has been updated.
TL;DR is this:
FILE YOUR DISPUTE OR CLAIM IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT FOR PACKAGES TO SHOW UP. THERE IS A 30 DAY WINDOW FOR MANY TRANSACTIONS.
IF YOU ARE ASKED TO FILE A POLICE REPORT BY YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY OR BANK, DO SO IMMEDIATELY.
I am comfortable stating authoritatively that there is absolutely no way that beserkfan can cover refunds or items even if his statements about setting aside $2000 for this were true.
$2,000 of refunds would not even cover 5 people. More than 40% of it would go to cover just two large orders. Now consider that for a moment - there are two people who spent more than $900. At the prices we have seen in the documents as opposed to what was paid, only one of them would get a full refund. That's not a math error either - according to the price sheet, it would have been nearly $1,000 before shipping. Consider that for a moment. Now do you think a neophyte is going to spend that kind of money on very specific items? Absolutely not. So yeah. There is not going to be any victim blaming tolerated from me, and there is no sympathy left either.
Nobody just "forgets" an order allegedly worth $1,000 before discounts, even in this mess. And they sure don't forget that they got payment for the same item from two people on pretty much the same day.
The victim shaming and the pointing and laughing is probably the biggest problem with getting people to report that they got screwed. That's absolutely unacceptable, period. And that's going to stop right the hell now. Skysophrenic and I have been working our asses off on this spreadsheet - which frankly, is why I've been cranky. That and all the "SUCKS TO BE YOU, I KNEW BETTER" gloating from people who quite bluntly, didn't know jack and simply didn't have the cash to buy what they wanted. You children got your giggles - now the adults are talking.
At this point, it is certain that more than $2,500USD was sent to beserkfan through various means. We still don't know how much people actually sent because they haven't posted or PM'd anyone to say "hey, I ordered X and paid $Y." There is no reason whatsoever not to do that unless you're hoping to get lucky with package roulette and cheat someone out of their stuff. In which case, you should expect a similar reception to what beserkfan is getting now.
Nobody is telling anyone what they do or don't have to do with what they receive - that is between the person who paid for it and Paypal or their bank, and the person who paid for it and the person who received it. To the extent I am able, I am happy to try and connect people if they can't find each other. Not going to mediate or get involved in more than 200 transactions because frankly, I do not have the time.
Regardless, to make the strongest possible case for ALL customers, we need to know exactly what was ordered, paid for, and roughly how much. That is the information we need from you, that we are assembling for everyone to use. Nobody wants or needs your personal information. Really! We don't! Seriously, I work with HIPAA enough thanks!
To date, a single person has received a single item they ordered, and that item was a set of free keycaps. We may end up needing to start whole new threads just to try and track what people are receiving. There are more than 200 keycap sets, and very nearly 200 keyboards. We have absolutely no idea if the items that were sold actually did ship in entirety, only part of them, or if what has been received is just red herrings. If you think you are getting what you ordered, I am sorry to say that so far the evidence indicates otherwise. And again, if you do, you can always cancel a dispute as resolved stating that you did ultimately receive the items. (And I would honestly hope that anyone who does would do so.)
But it is very likely only way you are going to get your money refunded if you do not get your items is if you file very soon. Again, I personally encourage people to include links or URLs for the evidence presented in this thread and in the spreadsheet in any dispute. These provide the clearest factual arguments that the seller was aware, stated they would not issue refunds on an arbitrary basis, does not intend to cooperate with victims, and that items were sold to multiple people repeatedly.
Hyperbole and trolling are not helpful, not needed, and not wanted. What we need is factual data - all the factual data we can get our hands on. If you talked with beserkfan and changed your mind on a buy, we want to hear from you. If you paid beserkfan money and are still waiting on shipping, we want to hear from you. If some mysterious package full of keboards from Singapore showed up at your door, we want to hear from you. At this point, we are focused on assisting people in recovering their money first and foremost - which means finding out how much was sold, how much it was sold for, how many times it was sold, and if the item ever showed up anywhere, and which items were never actually shipped despite being sold.
Connecting all these lost packages with their rightful owners is enough of an undertaking that it qualifies as an entirely separate project at this point.
