Can Anybody Contact Impending Doom?
« on: September 10, 2020, 10:07:27 AM »
Hey BR, fam. I hate writing this, but I don't know what else to do.

I sent Impending Doom $115 for a NIB 900 Global ball back on June 4th, and he still hasn't shipped it. He gave a few reasons as to why (didn't get a chance to visit his storage bin, problems with his kids), and I've been patient with him - pandemics are hard and I understand everybody's got their stuff to handle. But 3+ months is a bit much.

I tried PMing him multiple times, but to no avail. I sent him an email earlier today in hopes of getting a response, but at this point I'm feeling like I was had. If anybody knows him, or has a phone number I can use to directly contact Doom, that would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: changed 5+ months to 3+, because I struggle with counting.

I never would have seen this coming.

I’m just wondering theoretically what the reason could possibly be to not even respond......I honestly have no idea.

I do hope Doom is OK as well as his family etc....I’m just wondering if we did give him the benefit of the doubt and that he legitimately made an innocent mistake and completely forgot or something medical or.....I don’t know something serious, what could it be and what would seem most plausible?

I want to give Doom the benefit of the doubt--the guy is practically a hero on this board--but how could it possibly be forgetfulness when noodle has tried this hard to contact him?  Especially since Doom was basically a daily presence on this board until this started.

No I get that, I’m just trying to get everyone to contribute what they think the cause of this situation could be.  Not to comment on whether it’s an acceptable reason, but collectively what we think could lead to this situation. 

I can’t think of a reason outside of him having a medical episode or in jail or something of the like.....

There’s another post in this thread concerning Doom taking months to ship a ball. So this isn’t the first occurrence. Sort of takes out the benefit of the doubt etc.

I’ve known him on here for quite a while, but never his real name or any of that, I believe some former members up near Chicago know him.....

I have met a few people off here at Nationals events, always nice to put a face to names.

Anyone know his real name?

Would we be able to check with any resident 900 Global staffers here for recent contracts for that Chicago and surrounding burbs?

I had the same thing happen with him about 9 months ago, but he did eventually send the ball so I'M sure he will send it at some point. actually took about 3 months also

this dude might know.  if he got a ball from him previously, it may have had a name on the package...

Sorry don't know, I never even thought to look at the time, and I threw out the box the ball came in.

Sometimes, you just have to write things off and move on. This looks like one of those cases.
 
Maybe the guy hit the skids because of major trauma in his life. Whatever. He clearly decided to disappear and at this point, the ball isn't going to show up. Maybe someday in the future a package will show up at your door. In the mean time, lessons learned.
