David Thomas...Anyone heard from him?

I agree. Who can do this or do we need to do something?

 

Has anyone been able to contact wizard?

 

okay I just caught up with the thread, I sent another txt to david at 9:06pm est tonight. will let you know if I get any responses.

my txt to him was
"Any updates David"

retro I will use that sample page use posted a link to the pdf, and fill out the information tonight and try to get it in the mail monday since you seem to have a perfect page setup on it.

sorry for the lack of updates have tried to give him time just in case he was telling the truth. come monday I'm going to try again and not let him know I'm mailing the letter.

 

He's avoiding us. I don't believe anything he says.

 

Just give us our dam stuff back DAVID oh my heck!!!! I cant believe him!!! Please keep us updated wizard. Thanks

 

okay I was contacted by david and given pictures!! I can honestly the person I was talking with was either David himself or his wife. Since Items match pictures members here sent me. Some of the messages was cut off and mixed in between other msgs but I think that is more a limit on my phone then anything.

From David
"I will take some pics of the rooms I keep the stuff in. I have the parts all through out the house. like in my closet and 2 other rooms. so its not gonna be a clear view of all the stuff. i have like 30 xbox consoles and lots other types of consoles in different stages of repair. lots of the x3 chips that I sold are in consoles and lots of the motherboards in box's. its hard to explain. anyway, in a little bit I will send you some pics of three areas and you will understand. but i do have everyone's stuff. I have not bought or sold anything since the last day i was online. i have more then 100 mod chips and a crazy amount of video game stuff. the amount of stuff that i have to ship out would barely make a dent. basically everyone's stuff is not just all together in a corner. it is still in the shuffle of everything else. I have a very accurate mental inventory of most of what I have."

From me
"Sounds good. will let everyone know that and wait for picture"

Jan 24th
From me
"any idea on when you will be able to send pic"

Jan 25th
From David
"I am gonna send them now. This is only some of what I have. I have to sort it all out as you can see. I hope this will satisfy some people. The stuff you see is what is in the open. the upgraded motherboards and stuff is in boxes. I have way to much stuff! Please wait a few mins before responding this way I can send them all.



That's all I took. thae last pic is all the mod chips. plus I have a bunch of x3 and smartxx."

from me
"awesome thanks."

from david
"I know that everyone wants to see what I have that pertains to them but as you can see it is nt that easy since I have so mch."

from me
"yeah but hopefully this will be period (autocorrect error should have been proof) you have stuff and means you are trying to fix the issue"

from david
"yes I agree. I am not a scammer. I am a real xbox lover and collector. befoe this is really helped a lot of people and bought and sold a lot and they were all happy. i hope one day people will forgive me and I can be a part of the community again.

can you please contact n64freak for me. he was a very good friend and I have some important things that I got for him. Please tell him that I have all his stuff and he will get it all."

from me
"just sent n64freak an email for you"


the rest was for n64freak so I won't post those since it contains contact information.

Hopefully this is a great sign for everyone, I plan to give him the weekend without me contacting David, except to let him know the forums is back online and that I have posted the pictures and also the text msgs from the conversation to the group.

 

Holycrap that is beautiful to look at it.. butttt *clears throat, and wipes tears*. I hope everyone do get their stuff.
At least now, there's some more closure

 

Wow, he has a very understanding wife!

 

Damn that's a lot of Xbox goodness.

 

Wow some very nice gear in those photos. After seeing the photos and reading his messages I'm feeling more confident about possibly getting the items I paid for.

 

Finally some positive news. I still don't think that all of you are getting your items so soon, but atleast he still has them and you will get them sooner or later.

 

We know he has our stuff. Send that stuff out

 

Seems to me if he has the ability to take pictures he has the ability to package some stuff up....Or am I asking too much?

Is it me or should all the pictures be the same size? I wonder if these are old pics. Wizard can you check the meta information on the originals you have. The pictures on the site here don't show anything.

 

Does he really have no access do the internet at all ? I mean, in the worst case scenario, he could use the Mcdonalds free wi-fi. It just doesn't make sense to me that a person living in a 1st world country, in the 2nd decade of the 21st century doesn't have access to the internet.
He could at least log in.

 

off topic and probably dont help any of you... but I want that blue xbox and the blue x3cp!

 

completely agree

that is what I was hopeful that once we seen he has stuff still, that would make it a little easier to believe we could get our stuff back

in the meta details they all come up with 360x480, but the date is way off "Dec 31, 1969 6:59:59pm" was the format used so date was off but time is correct. But this could also be limits of my phone receiving the images (Kyocera Hydro android phone)

I agree seems odd, but he said only has his cell phone. Considering he wasn't able to be at the house with the kids screaming, I think that would also count out places like McDonalds etc. He could use Barne's and nobles free wifi if one is in his town, but then he would not be around the xbox stuff again. Almost sounds like a catch 22 loops. He could chat but not sending proof pictures, etc

I just sent him a txt letting him know the forums is back and posted stuff. Did not want to send him one at like 4am

 

Grrrr, common David!
Would really love the products I've paid for. The pictures are great, atleast we know you do have the things to say you do but really how hard is it to get in contact with us to send what we are owed? I want my stuff :/

 

I seriously doubt that someone with David's knowledge of xbox modding has no internet. Come on!

 

let's be honest here if you had gone through the same amount of stuff David is said to have gone through (let's see Loss of family member, car accident, etc, etc) would getting the internet turned back on be your first priority ? It would be the last thing on my mind, i would want to take care of my family first, then work down the long list of everything else. Let's at least try to help him out. I have plans for this weekend so I doubt I will be keeping in contact with him. But monday I will start again on trying to get a date on when he can start sending things out. In my opinion the first things that should be mailed out are what ever is the oldest date.

Looking at those dates that I have in the google doc would be in order of
Megatron187
ShawnunderSe7en
Clabs
lwizardl
ToxicMedz
AnthonyX3
R32Crazy

But considering that some will be cheaper and easier to mail out quicker then others, that may not be the best way to do it. I will ask David which would be easier for him to do. Mail them out by the oldest due or by the cheaper to mail. I am completely happy to have my chips be the last thing he has to mail out. I want to be the last transaction so that I know everyone else got their stuff first.

Once I hear back from him on the subject I will let you all know.

James

 

I just hope he comes through and ill get my 2 xbox dreamx consoles and clear xbox. Thanks wizard for all the help on this!!
