Based upon previous threads, let's get an idea of how much member money Xin Feng is holding onto to, to see if serious action needs to be taken.
Before anyone gets defensive or protective, please read the thread below, then add your deficit to the list:

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/tho...rrival-188413/

1 - Please list how much money you have sent to Xin which has long past it's promised date...

2 - How far past the promised date it's been...

3 - What amp/amps you have sent in for an upgrade which has long past it's promised date (this also counts as thousands of dollars that are outstanding)...

I have a 1 year old order for a SuperMicro and a 3/4 year old order for a Reference but both are on credit card so he is not holding any money of mine. Also he is not holding amps as I have not been willing to send them in yet but I got a mail reply from him today saying that repairs (not upgrades) are being given high priority and will go out almost as soon as he gets them and that has been the way for at least the last 6 months even though he has not been replying to emails.

Thanks Quaddy.
I am trying to get a ballpark figure on what is outstanding.

Many people have posted in the other thread, but it would be a logistical nightmare to try to pick through all of the posts to see what is owed and and how long that it's been for each member.

Around $275 on CC for the Reference ordered in August. Hasn't charged the card thankfully, but haven't heard anything either just like the rest of us

1)approx $300 last October via Paypal for a Reference.

2) I had previous experience with Xin and expected a delay of an indefinite duration. I didn't think it would take this long, but I can't say that it surprised me much.
3) N/A. I do have an amp I want to send in for upgrades, but I will not do so until I have the Reference in-hand.

Why start this now, after he has re-surfaced?

I paid for a reference in Sep '07 with my credit card. No communication from him after my order. He has my credit card number. Hasn't charged. I sent him email to cancel and he didn't acknowledge that either.

What a character this Xin guy is !

Just four people had 1K tied up in paypal. Figure how many don't post because they don't mind the delay, don't want to rock the boat and delay their order further, etc. and it probably adds up to some serious dosh.

With the vast majority posting positive messages--great to have you back Xin, etc. it's a good thing to take stock of what's transpired over the past year. If Xin goes round heels again (and there's no evidence if he will deliver or disappear yet again) at least he's 'on notice'. Maybe that will help convince him to ship and if not, how would this make it worse?

I think the best Xin could do, is do a public posting of what are the back orders and the current money he's holding on to.

Otherwise, that is really considered cheating to me to accept payment without delivery goods.
