Dear Rebecca,
Thank you so much for helping me search for my dad's weathervane.
Dad noticed it missing on February 17, 2004 from his barn in Ithaca, Michigan and reported it stolen to the Michigan State Police (Ithaca Post). According to the officer, there had been a rash of stolen weathervanes, globes, and lightning rod reported stolen in the surrounding area in the last couple of weeks. Dad's weathervane is described as a "James" antique figural iron and hollow bodied tin cow form weathervane with cone top and pierced directional arrow reading "James". I would consider the weathervane to be very good to excellent condition. It was complete with all parts and no real structural damage. At the time it was stolen it was painted black with the cow painted black and white to resemble a Holstein cow, however, the paint may have been altered by the person who stole it. The weathervane also has a cone at the bottom where the attachment mechanism is. I do not have a picture, but found and down loaded a picture from the internet that looks exactly like it, except the Fletcher (feather) part of the arrow is missing. Dad's was complete without damage. However, I don't know how to e-mail pictures. Could you e-mail me your mailing address so I could send it to you? Thank you again Rebecca, your help means so much to my family.
Please e-mail or call me at (989) 875-8641 if you need any more information.
Sincerely Theresa Wetzel

I am writing from Oregon,
Ohio (near Toledo) to enlist your help in recovering a valuable private
collection of political campaign pinbacks and ribbons.
I have been an avid collector for over 25 yrs. and the items were stolen from my
home Nov 18th. The collection dates back to the 1800's. The police have been
notified and have detectives working on the case, but have no leads. The insured
items are worth approximately $60-75,000.
Would you kindly contact me at (419) 836-9468 or (419) 279-5020 or Detective Don
Atkinson of the Lucas County Sherrif Ofc at (419) 213-4917 if you are approached
by anyone asking you to buy rare political pins? (Bryan, McKinley, Lincoln
etc..)
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I first
purchased a motherboard and CPU combo P4M800-COMB35 (Biostar P4M80-M4 Socket 478
mATX MB w/Celeron D 2.26 CPU under order number
W2480022 on 6/29/2006 I purchased also 512MB of DDR PC 3200 along with
(2) AP400W power supplies. Also a Western Digital 80 Gig UDMA Hard Drive
Total of $176.34 I had it shipped 2 day at $26.00 bringing the total to $202.34
I finally received the items on July 5 I believe, I ran a burn in test with Hot
CPU for about 8 hours everything was fine. I put the system in service for two
days and on the third day there was a flash of light from the power supply. I
put in the spare power supply and the system was still dead. I called waiting
almost 20 minutes on the phone and told I was Incident # 106678 and got an
RMA G073322 and the gentlemen I spoke to
graciously sent me a replacement Power Supply at no cost. I sent the Motherboard
and CPU back to you. On July 19th I got a Credit Memo
055869 for the returned Motherboard and CPU and was told (lied to) that
you were out of stock of the Motherboard and CPU. I went to your ordering pages
and ordered (W2509411) another (same Motherboard and CPU that I was told you was
out of stock of) and applied my credit but ended up paying more $88.49 to be
exact and had it once again 2 day shipping at $22.00 and a total of $110.49.
Today I was told the computer went down again and was dead the power supply once
again was gone I put the spare power supply in and monitored the voltage with
the ITE Guardian Software. I started to run the Hot CPU Diagnostic Test and the
voltage started going up and down. Then the system went down after about 10
minutes I checked the Memory and it is OK I tested the CPU and it is OK the
power supply is OK but the motherboard is dead does not power up. I ran all the
tests by putting the components into a known good working computer. I ordered
this combo set because I already have two other computers that are identical and
they have never given us any problems. That is why I purchased this combo
upgrade so now what do we do now? I could have purchased a barebones system
locally and would not have had all the shipping charges. As you can see
everything was new in the computer I purchased the parts all from you. There are
the other two computers working in the same office with printers, network gear,
modems, and routers I have had no problems with any of our equipment only the
items I purchased from you keep failing. Are these items pulls or refurbished?
It said the motherboard was supposed to be new. The processor OEM There was no
seal on the protective bag when I opened the motherboard box that is why I am in
question. I need a reply ASAP. Disappointed, yes I am.

"Item arrived on time
but it doesn't work. Would not work with my iBook or with my xd picture card. I
returned it for a replacement but still have not received it. I even called
Samsung to be sure I had everything set up properly." |
|
|
"Item was shipped
quickly. even though the controller was a refurbished items, it had some very
essential things like screws missing. |
|
|
"Can't install, email
requests for assistance were unanswered." |
|
|
"80MM doesn't equal
3.5inches, shipment was on time, but who cares if the wrong product is sent. I
am now stuck with 3 fans that I could have bought at Best Buy. Too much hassle
to send back." |
|
|
"tip does not work w/my
machine but taking forever to resolve. 1 month later and still no answers." |
|
|
"The product's
technical details promised that the an armband will be included but it wasn't
included, forcing me to spend an extra $27 to purchase one. Computer Geeks
customer support explained that Amazon displays an identical product
description for all merchants and promised to work with Amazon to resolve this.
A month has passed and the product description is still misleading customers."
|
|
|
"The product itself was
OK and it shipped in a timely manner. However, it didn't work for my
application. Customer service stinks after the sale. They didn't even bother to
answer my email. A customer had better be 110% certain whatever they buy from
this organization will work." |
