Don’t want to start a witch hunt, but it’s certainly suspicious. If this is someone here or a misunderstanding let me know and i’ll delete this post right away.
Screenshots just in case the listings get deleted:
After more research i believe the shop selling them is probably legitimate, but possibly unaware of what they have or selling them on commission or something for a customer, i’m not sure, i PM’d Ernie with more info and hopefully he can get to the bottom of it. Surely a long-running business(14 years on eBay) wouldn’t risk everything just to knowingly sell some stolen yoyos, so i’d ask people to not send any messages to the seller or otherwise notify them, especially not until Ernie has had a chance to contact them.
It’s definitely fishy, b/c they’re selling for so much less than he would had paid for them. But it seems to be a decent R/C Hobbystore. There website is hobbymasters.com I believe, I looked around there and they seem legit. Maybe someone sold them to him and he doesn’t know anything about he missing shipment, but, then again, maybe he does.
And the shop that has them is in MASS., Yoyoexpert said that their local usps lost the box, so that would be in MASS, where Yoyoexpert is. I wonder if the store that has them is located near Yoyoexpert. If so, Andre or someone could just go and have a look his self. He should take two sunset trajectory’s with him, however, just in case things get heated :-\
I contacted the hobby store, and Andre.
The hobby store is now aware that they have stolen property.
He is being very helpful, and we will get to the bottom of this.
Authorities will be notified.
Thank you everyone for looking out for us!
The yoyo community is awesome
Yay! I’m glad they turned up and that it is being taken care of. I was just coming to post this in the thread and saw that someone had already given the heads up. Glad the place is cooperating.
Great to see that the yoyos have been found and that presumably they will find their way back to YYE, or at the very least, neither Ernie nor YYE will be out the money. Hopefully the thieves get what they deserve. I don’t own any General-Yo any more, but I loved the couple I owned in the past, there are some great looking models out there now and both Ernie and Andre run top notch business with great customer support, nice to see what seems to be a happy ending.
