But I know where the spare keys are buried out the back of his place  |
You gonna take a weeks holiday to sort everyone's parcels out?

So, AVICC is closed for business while he is away, which means nobody has been given control of it in his absence. |
Someone on John's behalf opened an AVICC account for me (in his absence), so I'm not sure if it is entirely closed. I am wondering if this helper is also moving funds around? I'd be more interested in a direct seller-to-buyer shipping in John's absence. Does anyone know if this helper is moving Paypal funds into AVICC? Thanks. |

CPUShack ran AVICC as a reshipping and bidding service for mainly non-US CPU world member of items purchased in the US
Many US ebay listings are US only or ridiculous international shipping.. so AVICC enabled members to purchase them or ship items at realistic prices
cant remember what AVICC was the acronym for

Association of Vintage IC Collectors
For now, it is mainly a drop shipping/forwarding service (set up and run by John), with a payment system that helps some collectors avoid paypal fees and a proxy bidding service for eBay auctions.

I have money in my AVICC account, I can pay that seller, and you can send PayPal payment to me

I have had some parcels shipped to AVICC since john left.I can find out the info by tracking number that all the parcels were delivered.but I don't know if they are safe and who received them?
Has anyone been in the same situation as me?

John had asked no parcels be sent to him while he was away..
he did have friends checking on his place.. and if any parcels had arrived they would of been put inside the house
I have had about 600 parcels delivered to his place.. and only one went missing.. and that one i guess USPS delivered to wrong address
I have even made him go out to the letterbox at midnight in a snow storm.. cos i know an item has been delivered by the tracking
Very safe neighbourhood even if parcels are out for a while

Perhaps its not long until we see John again but i would say that we try to respect that he is away and that AVICC is closed. Being greeted by a room full of parcels when he is back is perhaps not that inspiring to open AVICC again...

Chips that are here already are fine, and will be fine here if ya choose them to stay here, so no worries there.
Before I leave I will take a backup (other then its normal daily backups) of the AVICC db in case something funky happens.
I know this will be an inconvenience to many, but this technically is just my hobby, I do do other things too lol.
When I return AVICC will again be open for business. |
Hmmm ..... Avicc is open again and fully operational? |
