I certainly agree with Jerome's point about taking responsibility even if you are in over your head. If I remember correctly, Jerome was one of the first head-fier's I dealt with in the FS forums and he actually had a personal emergency that kept him away for a week. He notified me right away, even left me his number in case I needed to reach him. Additionally he sent the package via priority mail to make up for the delay on his own dime. I really think at the end of the day, DIY, MOT, whatever, its all about taking responsibility and giving people the heads up if you are going to be busy or if you are just getting way over your head. A refund and a little disappointment in not seeing your gear back in action is much better than losing sight of your gear and money altogether. I think several posts indicate that EFN knew he would be busy yet continued to take orders/diy work, that's pretty irresponsible in my view.
After reading through Pangea's link, I think threads like that need to become more public. Do you guys remember mitchB and how several headfiers would keep posting the problematic transaction he had whenever he tried to sell any of his headphones? To a certain extent its rather damaging but a warning is always better than a non-responsive member down the line.
NSX 23 (btw I Want that car... stupid discontinude....) I hope things turn out well, can't you ask paypal for a refund? EFN may not have logged onto Head-Fi, but I'm certain that he must be linked directly to Paypal as a source of income. If anything, a little reminder through paypal may bring him back to the forums even if its just to say he's busy and will be able to take care of everything in a month or so.
