Looking for Matthew Spynda

Anyone in Contact with Matt?

Has anyone had contact with Matt Spynda this year.

I haven't been able to get a response via e-mail since the beginning of February.

I wanted to send him money for the Star Wars stuff I sent to him to repair, but I haven't gotten a to e-mails from two different accounts.

Thanks.

I sent a bunch of Star Wars stuff for him to repair also. Now I just want it back. He was in the middle of a move because of Government BS over the space he was occupying. Had to be out at the end of January I believe. I spoke to him right before that and haven't been able to get him to answer the phone since. I'm a little concerned. He's a good guy, just wish he would answer the phone :-(
 
Matt,
Is a personal friend and a very honest guy...I'm sure whatever is going on is a good reason for him not to have been in contact with anyone...He had some health issues a while back...hopefully he is ok..plus all the issue with the bldg he had his repair shop etc.....I'll keep trying to get in contact with him since he's local to me..
 
Last I spoke to him was right before the crap with his building was going down. He was going to send my stuff back with the labels I sent him...its been months. He's a nice guy for sure, just nerve racking when you don't hear anything. I'm all for communication.

I actually had a health problem(back surgery) that prevented me from sending him the payment.(That and my employer screwing me over). So I can understand.

I just hope nothing bad happened.

Please let me know what you find out.

Thanks.

The person that is a 'personal friend' should contact him, dont you guys think?

I've tried to contact him with no luck

I can only go by my previous experience with Matt as a person...do we hang out together on regular basis ...NO...but I know he's not a scammer and have seen his work up and person..top notch there.....having said that he's an adult and responsible for his own business and responsibilities..hopefully he will do whats right and contact those who's stuff he has...its not like him to do that and I'm surprise as anyone that he hasn't lived up to his responsibility.

Having said that I don't know what your intent was by your statement but don't throw out comments like its my responsibility just because I know him:mad:...I'm simply saying his past reputation based on MY dealings with him as many will do on this site when concern about a buyer or seller is raised...just as many will do when its a negative experience....From my experience as a friend with Matt it doesn't lead me to believe he's trying to screw anyone..but like I said he is responsible for his own actions and I can only do what everyone else has done and try to contact him which I have..with no luck:confused:

When something like this happens it is the responsibility of that person to come on here and do what he needs to make things right. Plus its not like I have anything in addition to what everyone one else has...email and phone number...nothing more to add there..I don't know where the guys house is or where he is even staying at this time..so I can't help there.

Hi guys,

@ TervEB

My star fire is mid restoration and on hold. I have half the work done and 3 boardsets, two of them are fully repaired. I'm not sure what you want to talk about? Shoot me an email, i'll repost is at the bottom of the page.

@ Chris

I'm sorry I haven't called, my life has been upside down since the move and I've hardly had the time to call my own mother back. If anyone should be pissed it's her. Currently half my shop is in boxes in climate controlled storage along With your packages. I made you a promise that I would send one working set back, and that is still my current intent. I know you've been waiting a long time for this, but ya have to admit UPS, and some cabinet wiring have some role in this as I'm sure you remember those things were not my doing. So If you can hang in there for another week or two, I'll slap the labels on the boxes and you'll have what you were promised. I don't like not giving people what I tell them they're gonna get. Hang in there. And now that you've been reassured, please direct anything further to my email.

@ Darren,

Everythings good with your stuff, it's sittin in storage. If you recall It was finished last summer at which time you had some life issues and I told you to contact me when you were ok. Well it just so happens to be the worst tiem to contact me. I'm sorry, I will contact you tomorrow.

@ amr

I don't even know who the hell you are, so you'll have to refresh my memory as to why you have any right to even comment about me. Grow up simple, the 80's are over, your an adult now. And I'll talk more about you when I address Tiger.

@ Tigetstyle

No. It's *my* responsibility to contact *them*. They already tried to contact me; all of them. Keep your unsolicited opinions to yourself. Do I have something of yours? I didn't think so. Would you like to contact me about something? The email is at the bottom. Else, perhaps you should act like an adult too and stay out of it. You and amr are reasons why I don't come around and offer my knowledge anymore. Just overrun with children and ingrates anymore. I think I can count on one hand how many REAL ADULT friends I've made since I've been in this. Do you two wear bra's on your heads and do the whole 'weird science' ritual before you fire up the Commadores? It's 2010 - Get right. Kids, jobs and house payments don't make you and adult.

@ Roadrunner

Thank you for being an adult as well and contacting me. Chris and Darren have been decent about this to their defense as well. Everyone else can go pound sand.

I opened shop 5 years ago. Since then I offered a TON of information to the archives and helped a TON of people privately. I can't even count the amount of post work support I've offered and the amount of breaks I've offered people for some of the messes I was handed. To date I know of every outstanding work order I have, they are all boxed up in storage and labeled 'current' work. If you don't know what that means, it means I intend to finish it. I no longer have a shop so patience is a necessity.

Will I ever be back after this? Not to help people. I made that decision last year when I dropped off the face of the community. But don't anyone dare question my integrity (thats aimed at the trolls). People like you will say 'good riddance' and others would like to smack you upside the head for driving a contributor away. KLOV isn't the start of the information network in arcade restoration. Back before ebay was spammed with klov links in arcade sales, there was this little thing called RGVAC, and I put my bid in.

I've said my piece, and I don't intend to return. I only came because I got roadrunner's txt about this thread. Good luck to the good guys, piss off to the bad ones. Threads over as far as im concerned.

- Matt ( [email protected] ) - It's been backed up, But I will make it a point to prioritize you guys.
