Need help finding a person

[Gary W. Graley]

Hi all, trying to contact Creston Hooks, from FL, he had emailed me a while back to buy a lens from me, but I've not heard from him since his last email with his address and a request to call him, which hasn't panned out. Left two voice mails on his phone but no reply. Don't know his forum name here but if anyone knows him, have him email me about that lens, as another person is wanting to buy it but I won't sell it until I know that he has decided to not take it, or if he is going to take it, to send the funds up.
Thanks,
G2

Gary, I don't know how long it has been since his first contact, but if it has been over two weeks and he hasn't bothered to get in touch I would move on. Two weeks seems like a more than fair amount of time in my mind.

Hi Paul! Well it's been about a week since his last email, I usually try to stay in close contact when I dealing with someone, and normally I ship same as when the other person has said they sent the funds, but I don't know this guy and he hasn't said he has sent the funds, just sent his address with a message saying to call him at 3:30, which I did, got the message the phone was not in service, emailed back to him that fact, no response, kept trying the phone, same thing, a few days later it rang through and got a voice mail, automated, left a message to call or email me. No response, called again left one last message that if he didn't want the lens, no problem, but to let me know that fact, OR if he had sent the funds, again, no problem but I wanted to let the other person that is interested know of the lens availablity. And now I'm heading to the UK next week for a few weeks, so if his money order arrives next week, he'll have to wait until I return for me to ship it out, as will the other person waiting the outcome of this sale.

Sounds like an "iffy" situation to me. If he can't pay his phone bill then I would wonder how he was going to pay for the lens.
