Perhaps this is an old and dying thread, but I thought I'd share this word of caution with everybody here.
I don't remember where in this thread, but someone mentioned that a certain eBay member by the name of "valentinez" was selling the DVD version of WC-IV. I eagerly purchased one from her back on Dec.16, '04 and paid via Paypal. I then eagerly waited for my DVD to arrive .... and waited .... and waited ....
Several emails to the seller went unanswered for about 10 days with regards to confirmation that the item was shipped and that she satisfactorially received payment. I finally got some excuse that the package was sent and that I should receive it shortly. Now I know that USPS priority mail does not take 2 weeks to just travel down the coast of California. Hence, I told her that I'd give the package until Jan.5 (I was going to be out of town over New Year's anyway) before I took appropriate action.
Once I got back on Jan.5, I found my mailbox empty. I emailed the seller again about this and she said she'd email the package the next day - Jan.6. Again, a package from Santa Clarita does not take 18 days to get down to San Diego. So I emailed her again last night asking what is going on ... and again didn't get a response.
Well, guess what? I received the envelope - yes, envelope - this afternoon. Now maybe it's just me, but I would not send a DVD in an envelope (if at all) if it weren't in a jewel case. But what really bothered me was the fact that the envelope was postmarked January 15 - last Saturday. So if the envelope were sent from Santa Clarita via priority mail and it got here the next working day (taking MLK Day into consideration) and with all other attempts to get my DVD over the last 30 days, that says something about the sellers responsibility.
I'm sure many of you have had good dealings with this vendor, but I felt it important to let those of you who are thinking of buying your DVD from this vendor what I had to go through to get my all-time favorite game. I would recommend staying on top, under, and besides this vendor so that you get your product promptly.
Caveat Emptor.
