Topic: AVAST! Bitcoin Penny® Spanish Treasures Collection now be here! - page 2. (Read 3150 times)

I will not include the entire message but here are some edited bullets from what I was told via PM:


Not sure what is really going on behind the scenes, but this is what I know now. I am still unclear why the initial amount paid was not enough to cover the cost of the project. FORGET the idea of pre-orders, this was never sold as a pre-order. So something must have happened to the BTC or the USD and he can’t buy the gold. This is what I assume. Otherwise not sure on the financial issues delaying the production. I totally agree with AM, but at this point not sure I can get a refund. With BTC going up would be impossible to get it back in USD or BTC as the amount I paid would be enough to fill the existing orders and more. So as frustrated as I am, I can’t do much more than wait unfortunately.

What does that mean?
Update as in "the coins are shipped" or "they'll be out soon"

As was I.

I was provided an update via PM yesterday.
Geo

He logged in today... but just blowing everyone off as usual.  Can't believe people still give paypal penny the benefit of the doubt.

All you have to see is the main bitcoin address of the BCPCo pictured below.  So quick to cash out every time that a 7 year old bitcoin account shows a loss from total received to the total spent.  You don't see that very often on an active 7 year old account.  Millions passed though his hands and he just lived beyond his means on your guys dimes.  He obviously wasn't a bitcoiner as he NEVER believed in it to keep any of the OVER 120BTC that went through his main account alone.  As far as his large loan he's on the hook for.... not a single Sat paid back, just a long BS pretend apology months ago with more promises to never be filled.  Maybe cash grab penny would be a more appropriate name for a no coiner maker pretending to be a bitcoiner.

Same here… can we get an update Chris?

I would also appreciate an update. My PM to Chris from last week requesting update on my outstanding orderS has yet to be answered.

@Chris/ Could you please update this thread with the current status of orders that were set to be filled on the 15th and 29th of last month?

Thank you, swe

Thanks for the response, Chris.
Let's please keep shipping dates in this thread for the transparency of the community (minus tracking ofc).
You know I have always been a fan of your products and doodles and packaging, and I'm happy to see that things are getting back on track for you and TBPCo.

I understand your frustration, sweeteye. These last few orders are taking much longer than expected. However, we are filling them, slowly but surely. We hope to have the next two orders filled by February 15th, with the last two scheduled for the 29th. Possibly sooner. It's a long slow trudge, but we're almost at the finish line. And I appreciate your hanging in there.

Regards,
Chris@TBPCo.

Chris/
When will you be “straight” with the remaining orders.
No bullshit.
swe

LOL I love the pirate personality, tread.

And I'm still here. I'm simply focusing all my attention on filling the last few orders before taking on more sales/trades. (In fact, we filled a few more gold coin orders last week, so only a couple left in queue.) Once we're straight with the remaining orders, then I'll be happy to take you up on the idea of a trade—one of my coins for one of your coins. No problem. Just let me get these last orders filled first.

Thanks for the morning laugh!

Regards,
Chris

I am still owed a response to my DM to trade for a copper or silver piece, ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! What kind of pirate are ye if you don't barter fer yer treasures!?!?! Hahhahhahahah I'm laughing at the core of me hook m8tie!! And a bottle of RUM!!!!!!! hahahhahhahah. In all honestly I just wanted to bring a little fun back to this thread, I was loving this idea, and the fact that he is just gone out of nowhere and super unresponsive means that BP just must be on a fucking sailboat in the middle of the caribbean with NO WIFI lmao. Would be a funny story tho wouldn't it? I'm still bummed that you didn't want to trade ANYTHING for your coins, heck you didn't even respond but thats just fine and well, I get it not everyone fancies a trade but my god man we're talking about pirate treasure here and the booty!!!!!! They traded and bartered for everything they got! Can you imagine how loaded those bartenders were back then? Getting fucking gold doubloons or should I say gold Escudos for bottles of rum!!!

I am owed 1 gold ounce coin and a copper set. He said he would ship mid December after all the delays but hasn’t yet. I’m still waiting for a response to my last DM. 

I replied in the other threads - but I was one that got lucky I guess - I got my refund for the gold pirate coin and my refund for the 1kg 10th anni silver coin - I am still owed 1 of the 1 oz silver dollar coins.

That is now at least 4oz of gold/orders that are outstanding from this thread alone... not to mention the Silver Dollars, etc

PLEASE POST IF YOU ARE OWED ANYTHING

For the record I am owed two copper sets and one gold set. Promise of delivery one month ago and radio silence since then.

Geophphreigh

Oh wow, that escalated quickly. I see he's been online today according to his profile.

Edit... https://ninjastic.space/post/63284756

For everyone's transperancy, here is a screenshot of the last response I received on 12/23/23 when inquiring about the shipment date of the 1oz. AU doubloon:



Also, FWIW, I received two smaller coins that had been owed to me for a very long time just before Christmas.
I'm not sure what's going on personally with Chris, but while communication has been spotty, he hasn't been completely AWOL.
Not going to jump to a full conclusion yet, I'm still hopeful that BTCP can deliver whatever is owed so at the very least Chris can repair/uphold his reputation and BTCP Co. retain their legacy.

A final/comprehensive update to my situation.

Timeline:
On June 20, 2023, I placed an order for 1 oz. Gold Coin via forum and paid via PayPal. Listed stated to allow for 2-3 weeks for production & shipping.

On July 7, 2023, I inquired about the ETA and was told that silver/copper are scheduled to ship at end of next week (7/14/23) and that gold won't be shipped until sufficient volume of orders are paid (10 x 1 oz gold coins minimum)

On September 27, 2023, I inquired about the ETA for the second time and was told the coin will be in hand by year's end (12/31/23).

On November 12, 2023, a dispute was officially opened via PayPal due to item not received. I wanted to open the case prior to the expiration of the 180-day Buyer Protection policy. Agreement was made that coin should be delivered prior to 12/1/23.

On November 13, 2023, the dispute was formally escalated to a claim. This ensured the dispute would not be closed prematurely, and kept PayPal in the loop. Agreement was made that a monetary refund would be provided.

On November 15, 2023, an ACH refund via PayPal was initiated by BitcoinPenny.

On November 24, 2023, this ACH refund officially failed due to being cancelled.

On December 7, 2023, I inquired about the status of the refund, and received a response from BitcoinPenny 12/9/23 indicating in non-specific terms that I would be made whole.

On December 20, 2023, I inquired again about the status of the refund. Out of desperation, I offered the solution of breaking up the refund into multiple installments, or even accepting a gold coin if that could be delivered sooner.

On December 21, 2023, PayPal finally issued judgement of the case in my favor. PayPal initiated a second ACH refund attempt.

On January 4, 2024, this second ACH refund attempt failed again. PayPal agent stated that the refund checks were being processed on the seller's end but both times "they were contacting their bank shortly after to stop the payments from going through". PayPal manually reversed payment and it is expected that I will finally receive funds from PayPal in 3-5 business days. PayPal placed limitations on BitcoinPenny's account, and issued a negative balance.

While I have not yet received the funds from PayPal, I believe There is finally a conclusion since PayPal has taken the loss under Buyer Protection and has remedied me. Accordingly, negative trust w/ flag has been issued.
