I feel your pain! When I was a kid, someone set fireworks off and one went through our living room window, burned down our entire living room. Luckily none of us were hurt. Im still tramatized though!! There legal where i live and i hate it!

Good morning, ladies!

I have a scenario: the other day I asked a seller if we could meet locally and I could pay cash for something. I wait about a day and notice that the seller has read her Bonanzle message from me, but she hasn't responded. I can't wait because I'll only be in her neck of the woods for a few hours, so I go ahead and buy online. The seller messages me and apologizes for not responding, saying she didn't know what her plans would be since she commutes between two cities in CA (she didn't know which city she'd be in between ones that are 450 miles apart 12 hours ahead of time?) and she didn't want to respond. Uhhhh, okay. I feel like she could have at least acknowledged my message. Then she said she'd ship it first thing in the morning 7/2, but she didn't get back to me until I messaged her today and she told me she tried to ship yesterday but of course it was the 4th of July, so she has to ship tomorrow. Sorry for the long explanation! Does this seller deserve negative or neutral feedback?

Barms, that is so scary!! Thank goodness no one was injured in the fire. Oh, and not to burst your bubble, but Johnny's alllll mine

June, how does the size of the baby groovee compare to other bags?

Dawn, LOVE those shoes! HOTTT!! Do you mind if I ask where you scored them from?

i would say it's maybe similar in size to an ursula bowler...or a stam, but wider...i took pics ages ago...

blackonmaroon · Jul 5th, 2009, 01:56 PM

Oh, and I'd also like to add that I e-mailed her and Bonanzle messaged her, and she didn't get back to me in either form.

I really like these!! I haven't seen a platform on Cole Haan's before, cool!! Btw, anything with the word "Air" in it in Cole Haan styles has Nike Air technology in it and are the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet. I'm constantly on the look out for deals on "Nike Air...whatever" shoes. :)

jun3machina · Jul 5th, 2009, 02:00 PM

that sucks H. i dunno, i'd wait to get the bag. it was a holiday weekend too, maybe she had a lot on her plate....i know sometimes that's happened to me with ebay buyers...

Dawn · Jul 5th, 2009, 02:01 PM

ash, they are from colehaan.com. they are on sale and an additional 20% off with code EXTRA20

yep, all of my cole haans are nike air; i think this makes my fifth pair of heels from them and 7th pair of shoes (also have a pair of sandals and a pair of ballet flats).

blackonmaroon · Jul 5th, 2009, 02:02 PM

I try to be understanding, but she could have at least contacted me and let me know she'd be shipping four days after she promised she would, KWIM?

jun3machina · Jul 5th, 2009, 02:04 PM

yeah...maybe a neutral then

PM, i know i posted a pic somewhere of me wearing one at Nordies, but i cant find it and i gotta run.

blackonmaroon · Jul 5th, 2009, 02:06 PM

Thanks for the opinion, W!

yea, but that's mainly becuz of the holiday/weekend - its not like she's deliberately waiting 4 days to ship, KWIM? technically, its only ONE [business] day

I'd wait to get the bag. It may come fast, look gorgeous and be packaged wonderfully. It doesn't sound like she's purposely trying to get away w/something

like jj said, i would prob wait until i got the bag. she definitely should have communicated better with you, but a few days doesn't really bother me when it comes to shipping and stuff. and especially since it's a holiday weekend...always a crazy time for everyone.
