I must say, Baron C is a bit wacky...in a good way though. I purchased ebay Zeus stickers about 1 year ago. They never arrived. I figured I would wait til he arrived in the states to clarify that request since it was a small item and I have yet to finish sanding and prepping my frame for getting it painted. In the past, I too had difficulty at time touching base with him at times when I made purchases, but time taught me to be very very patient as he usually pulls through in the end and usually makes up for the maddness with some sort of extra tossed in the deal. If you're in a hurry....wrong person to deal with...if you want some very unique and hard to get items then they are great...just don't be in a hurry. They are good people overall though and will take care of you!

Aren't they in the process of moving to the US? Perhaps they've shut down for the move?
