AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.

WOW. $3,000 is a problem for a "business" to just come up with out of pocket. LOL. He's lost WAY more than $3,000 in bad press, hurt feelings, and lost sales. Dummy.
Yup, only in "paintball' does the normal laws of business go out the window.
always told mike that penny auction site was a disaster waiting to happen. just so easy for someone's feelings to be hurt, the trust to be broken, and then its another anti-mike personal vendetta all over again.
that being said, im sure mike is doing everything in his power to fix it. his divorce was pretty awful. cashflow is a ***** man.
I mentioned it over there, but for the rest of us:
It looks like he didn't keep separate funds for business/personal. That being said, he could have sold off some of his collection to make good on the orders that he needed to fulfill. Other people do it, is he too good for that? (Though perhaps much of that property was liquidated in the divorce.)

Apparently his PayPal account is locked up and he can't send or receive funds, or print shipping labels.

a lot of his stuff was apparently stolen earlier this year, and what little he did have he did auction off.
anyways, the person in the op linked is an idiot. mike is not out to scam anyone; the website fell flat and a couple people hit him hard on chargebacks. honestly, i would've shut the site down months ago when it was apparent there was no longer a large enough base to sustain it. i've won tons of stuff from markerbids, and am owed one item as well. we'll see if i get it; i'm not worried about it. mike's always come through in the past, this will just take time.
