I am in the process of getting the ball rolling with a class action lawsuit. I will have more information available on Monday, and should be able to post more info next week.

Re: Avalon Store Batch 3 Status just went to "Refunded" -- now "Refund Processing"
Yifu any input on when the refunds might be processed? Would be very helpful for managing expectations
Bump for our friend Yifu
Friend? He took your money for 6 months, fucked you over, failed to deliver.. and your calling him a friend?? o_O
wtf.
Not to mention didn't acknowledge many refund requests.. so now people like me who actually received the avalon won't even make ROI with new difficulty...
What refunds? If you submitted a support ticket (as you were told to by bitsyncom HIMSELF here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236348.msg2515773#msg2515773) then your refund gets ignored. If you managed to get the newsletter and see the Google Docs link (Google Docs, really fucking professional guys) then you had 3 days to apply for said refund. 3 days. Even if you already asked for a refund through the fucking AVALON SUPPORT SITE. Not to mention it's been several weeks and I think only one person has received their refund. I know a lot of people got in, but a lot missed out too. Avalon has generally been a bit of a clusterfuck lately. This is no way to treat your customers.
if (still fucking pissed off) loop else end vent
Does anyone with a more level head then me know if there is any legal recourse? If the items were sold in the country I live in then the BS Avalon T&C's would be declared null by a court as they're against the law here. However internationally this becomes a bit of a grey area.
I have been looking into some things that can be done legally. It also is a fact in the US that the T&C's are null due to some consumer protection in the USA according to my lawyer.

My refund request submitted by support ticket has been Ignored (Was sent over 4 weeks ago)
Received DHL Shipping info this morning.
GG.......... *sigh*
If you didn't fill out the support ticket in google docs from the newsletter that was sent out. You were not put on the list for the refund. But at this rate an ASIC will make back the bitcoins faster than anything getting refunded. So you are probably in a better position now.

Re: Avalon Store Batch 3 Status just went to "Refunded" -- now "Refund Processing"
Well, I'm really curious what the story is going to turn out to be. This is making me look bad; I promise -I- did receive a refund. Can't imagine why they didn't go on to finish your guys' and yet processed mine :|
You were the testrun... and maybe the example to show that refunds will be done.
God, maybe. Just pure luck, maybe I was the first to apply. I feel bad for you guys.
Could be that you are a writer and good with words. Lack of negativity in your posts may have something to do with it as well. Could have just been a good way to get the positive word out. Maybe your name in the list came first alphabetically. In any sense it is unfortunate this whole refund process is turning out this way. I have marked them off as lost coins until there is a class action lawsuit started, then I will gladly jump on board. But yet again unfortunately do to the fashion in which Bitcoin works and its status as an almost but not really recognized virtual currency would make any court battle a nightmare(in the United States). I was a proponent for Bitcoin in the past, but now after feeling the burn on this one, its hard to want to stay in the game. Of course something like this could happen with anything you invest any sort of capital into. Everything's a wild card in the end, just have to hope you have the best one in the deck.

At this point that would make the most sense.

Re: Avalon Store Batch 3 Status just went to "Refunded" -- now "Refund Processing"
Has anyone opened a support ticket about this, or is waiting the name of the game?
Although, even with a ticket, probably still have to wait a week for Yifu to check the boards.
I just want my refund!
Edit: nevermind, submitted my own ticket. I don't know why it says refunded if no money was actually ever refunded. Will update when/if I hear anything.
We are all wondering why it says refunded with no actual refund. Maybe one of two things, first being it was a glitch in the refund process. Secondly well that scenario wouldn't be good, but we all know what it entails.

Well if you asked for a refund all you got was a status changed to refunded and no coins. So maybe you will at least get a few coins back.
