at the same time - and to prevent recourse claims - I need to keep them and wait until they become folly worthless
I think thats the only way. On one side the chips are practically worthless later but when they dont exist anymore one might demand the full price back. Regardless of the actual times worth. I would not take that risk. Instead, if the chips have no target, i would make a list with the owners and store the chips. Its the buyers fault if they dont care about them. But it would bee too risky to give them out of hand i think. They most probably wouldnt bring in much via auction anymore.
Yep. After all this stress for nothing, the last thing I need is people accusing me for giving their chips away without permission. It is not worth it, although it hurts watching the chips' value fading away in their trays.
Well considering that burnin has 240 of my chips and has been incredibly lackadaisical in assembling them/contacting me with a solution, could anyone who had the same amount be transferred over to him so I can have mine sent to marto74 to get assembled in a timely fashion? Either way they are sitting in a box while no progress is made and this is months overdue at this point. And I really really dont want to chargeback burnin, but at what point do I just sit here and accept it and move on with no recourse?
Im stuck between a rock and a hard place because my chips are in a box at an assembler with little communication, while you have chips with destinations that no one has called for (mostly burnin I assume). I understand your quandary zefir, but some of us are here waiting and checking every day on progress, while none is done at the assembly part (not your fault obviously). Hence why I tried to have my destination changed but unfortunately you had left for Germany before I could message you in time. And this is why I'm interested in chips that people forgot. Luckily you don't have paypal to screw with you and honestly, with the amount of borderline scamming here, you definitely will not be making the situation much worse. Its the end of the September now, if they haven't claimed the chips by now, they certainly care little about them at this point.
The situation is not as bad for you as it might seem. Burnin received the remaining Avalon chips today, and will have them converted to boards this or next week. Alone from my delivery he has to build more than 250 boards, so logistics will take more time than production itself - but eventually you'll get your boards soon.
Parcel left Frankfurt on September 25th and was then gone from all radars for 10 days. DHL claims it was in customs, but they were not able to locate it correctly during that time. I was prepared for the worst, glad it made its way.
