For years I have heard the scenario:
I paid that guy in full/a deposit for a (fill in the blank) prop here it is XX months/XX years later and I still have nothing.
Recently I have heard accounts of people waiting 1 to 4 years for an order. The guy who waited 4 years had to get creative in getting his order.
So two suggestions to possibly remedy this to keep problems from coming up.
1. When a seller offers a run of (XXXX) blasters perhaps make it a requirement that the seller note a delivery time frame after payment is made. It's already required to note a price(obviously) so why not require a seller to say when he will deliver?
2. Perhaps this board can mandate when an item from a run needs to be delivered. Maybe a certain number of days after payment is sent.
So suggestion number one allows the seller to post his own deadline and suggestion number two is a RPF required deadline.
There was once a thread that pointed out that for whatever reason fans are the most illness ridden people in the world. I also remember one guys excuse was that he didn't finish a prop run because he became more interested in his new filming project. Maybe if there was more order to the process then maybe there will be fewer problems.
Just as people file their taxes because of a deadline then maybe sellers need to adhere to deadline.
For me it's business and being organized. Keeps things tidy.
Just throwing some ideas out there to keep it a safer place.
