If I may speak up for Tom, as I have gotten to know him over a good while, he's really been stung by this whole ordeal, and I can understand.
I still sting when my second and third super 8 buys were complete rip-offs!
One was a fellow over in Britain who I paid 300.00 dollars to for print of Star Wars scope. never got the film, and when I contacted him about perhaps giving half the money back, he flatly refused. For all i know, he never sent it out in the first place! All I knew is that I was out 300.00 plus dollars.
The next one was a fellow in Austrailia, from whom I bought a print of Laurel and Hardy's "Pack Up Your Troubles" and "Blockheads", as well as a print of "Creature From the Black Lagoon, 400ft. 3D", that was 150.00 dollars. I never received them. i would have never thought that I would get stung literally a month and a half after the Star Wars debacle.
Thankfully, it didn't totally end up turning me completely off from buying from overseas, but then a number of times, I have been ripped off by dealers from the UK whgo promised great color on prints, and they have been far from that, or even sending a title that I didn't order, and hell, it's a good 50.00 or more dollars to send the unwanted prints back!
(Please note: Derann, CHC and Barry Atwood at Independent 8 are not among the scumbags!)
So Tom, you have my sympathies! No one likes getting ripped off, however, I reiterate, I know Steve Osbourne to be an honorable dealer and, as Doug stated, he is incredibly busy with job, "reel Image" magazine AND all the prints he works with. I'm sure that there must be some very legitimate reason why he hasn't been able to get back to you.

Sorry, I don't remember the names of either of these men, but if I did, I'd probably due my own manhunt to find them and, let us say, bring back to remembrance in my own "talented" way, that they owe me big-time.
One of my short lived careers in the past (before becoming a believer) that I'd rather forget. I'm not proud of all my past deeds.
