That is a very loaded question - it rather depends on peoples trust in Sinthetics!

Given your dealings with them, I would estimate very little.

Hello, it is not impossible,
if you have proof on emails or prints that you did the order and that you now want refund you can make a case against them
If they dont solve the problem you can tell them you will post to their facebook and warn their followers, that makes the worlds move.
It is already quite bad for Sinthetics that you post this here.
I bought one tek item on a website sometime ago, I did not get the item and no refund but I was able to influence people on social networks and their accounts and website was stopped, I did not get that refund only because they were shutting down business and a quick scam, otherwise I would do much pressure until they did.
Sinthetics is a good business so they will solve this you just need to do more pressure.
Did you order with credit card or paypal ? if so you can complain to credit card or paypal so they are warned about this seller.
good luck

I would expect time limits to recover the funds through PP or CC have been exceeded.

Seems like no interest. Understood. I don't usually 'hang around' here at the UK forum. I posted here because I assumed (correctly) that my post about selling my spot would get some visibility. So I'll 'run along' now. If anyone here is interested, please post at ODC. I can't post there. But if I see your post I'll come back here. Thanks

Cheers

I bought one of the Anatomical doll, and paid in full for it. Sadly, Oleg, the maker of the dolls passed away and i never got a refund. In my opinion, Real doll is the only maker left with any kind of reputation. the other makers all look good, but seem a little shot of delivering.

Like I said, I don't come here often. Samurai, I would like this topic kept in the For Sale Forum. My place has NOT been sold. In fact, I have had contact with Sinthetics where they agreed to transfer my 'place in the queue' and 'favorable 2013 pricing' to another person. They still say they think it's worth $2000. However since I offered it here for $1600, I will stick by that price.

1) This item is still for sale and I will endeavor to be conscientious about updating this thread to comply with forum rules.

2) Mrwizard, re: doll makers with any kind of reputation ... I have two excellent 4woods dolls, one bought directly from 4woods Japan and one bought through the late lamented 4woods USA. I have heard nothing but good about 4woods Europe. Also Orient, which now appears to have a formal international marketing partnership with Kanojo Toys.

a) This item is still for sale.

b) I am aware of the 28 day rule. Since it is difficult for me to remember to post every 28 days rather than 'once a month', it is my intention to post once a month. I request the moderators' patience and flexibility. This is my December '19 post.

c) My asking price is now increased to $2000. This is the full value of the order. I am raising the price because my most recent communication with Sinthetics has assured me that they are willing to transfer my order at its full value and with all details applicable at the time it was first placed. The price remains negotiable. I recognize that Sinthetics dolls are not in high demand on this (or any other) forum. Nevertheless, since my order has three fairly large 'value adds', it is a clear 'win' for the (rare) buyer who wants a Sinthetics doll. The first value add is a spot at the top of the queue, reducing the know long wait time. The second value add is December '13 pricing, considerable less than current pricing. The third value add is discounted pricing. When my order was placed in December '13, Sinthetics was running a promotion. So the price associated with my order was discounted from the already low (by today's standard) December '13 'regular' price.

d) I recognize that the value of my order remains dependent on Sinthetics fulfilling their commitment to honor all details of the order as listed above. Their commitment will have to be confirmed (if and) when someone wishes to buy my order. I am, of course, willing to renegotiate price if Sinthetics changes the details of their commitment.

There are a couple of things I find puzzling about this.

Surely the value of the $2000 deposit depends on what you originally ordered? Was it an order for a base price female now priced at $6400? Or for a custom body that starts at $25,000?

Have the prices gone up or down since you placed the original order? Down, I would think, because of increased competition. The market has moved a long way even over the last few months: look at Kimber for example.

Is the model you ordered discontinued without a clear and direct upgrade path, or is she still available? Even skeleton tech has moved on.

If everything you said in that last post is true then why isn't it in Sinthetics best interest simply to issue a refund, even of the full $2000? If they have a long order book and the next person in the queue would pay (say) $6400 instead of the "favourable 2013 price" you would have paid and your substitute in the queue would pay, I can't see why that isn't an obvious no-brainer for them; they would be directly losing money by not refunding.

OP, what exactly did you order?
