Yeah, I had a similar experience and haven't bought anything since but can't say that I won't in the future.

Can I ask how slow?
It was a LONG time ago, so I just went back through my feedback left and found it. This was back in Spetember 2008. It took five weeks from the time I paid to the time I received the art.

Ouch. But at least you got it.

yep, and was very happy with it, so I did give him positives all the way around. I did mention the slow ship time in one of the three feedbacks I left, plus I know I gave him the worst star rating available for shipping time. A lot of people did, which lowered his star rating enough to cause his eBay account to be briefly suspended from selling. It appears to be back in good standing now.

I sent books, and even a present for him to keep.

All with self adress envoples etc as requested.

Got nothing back.

OK, not as bad as Magnus. And David was doing it for free, but all he had to do was sign and return in the envlope provided?

Hope, really hope magnus gets his stuff back one day.
Same here with Lapham. PM'd him over a year ago and it's still marked unread.

I have David Lapham's assistant's (Renee's) email. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and I can forward.

Really *SQUEE* slow.
That would be very fast, compared to other stories I've heard.

I would add that at least one of them came with a pretty sweet signed sketch, which would be pretty awesome if I cared about sketches or autographs at all (not that it takes away from the thought, I'm sure percentages would indicate that it was a sweet extra).

I'd also add that waiting doesn't particularly bother me unless it gets outlandish so there's no beef on my end (just wanted to clarify that) but I am glad that he seems to be repped by Eder now.
Well, if you don't want the sketch...joking, joking.
