Does anybody know what happened to Ran? I placed an order with him on Brickbay more than a month ago and have not heard from him, even after I sent repeated e-mails. He has made more than 20 transactions on Brickbay since I placed my order, but I (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) When you find out tell me. He has an outstanding order with me and has not responded to any of my messages. Adding to my concern is the fact that I have seen postings from him on RTL during this time. FWIW he has completed two transactions (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Ran pulled a very similar disappearing act 4 months ago (do a search on his last name to verify). I know he is a respected member within the (...)

I'm sorry to hear that my problems with Ran were not an isolated incident. He failed to complete payment on some parts I shipped with "trust" since it was only about a $4.00 order. He then failed to send payment for a brickbay order (apx $25). Again (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Here's my two bits worth... I don't know Ran personally, but I have corresponded with him privately and he seems like a very nice person. I think y'all should just cool your heels a tad longer and let things take their course. I bet everyone gets (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I rec'd payment from Ran less than 24 hours after filing a NPB notice. I was contacted by another seller via email who suggested that Ran might NOT have traditional email access, doing all business and posting through the web. The more I think about (...)

(...) For what it's worth (a lot imo) Ran has always dealt honestly with me. He's one of a fairly good sized number of people who, when I see an order from them, a little clicker goes off in my head that says, "nothing to worry about here." Things (...)
