Good morning at all, I'm new to the forum.
I have a Vampire 500 purchased directly from Majsta from ebay and
I'm a payer for the batch 4 of Vampire 600 from kipper.

Regarding kipper, I made my payment on March 14th.
To date, I have not received any updates regarding my order except yesterday's update on his site, which he says he no longer plans to build Vampire.
Ok.
But he does not explain how he intends to behave with those who have already paid for it.
Today I sent him another mail. I hope he answers.

Hi Franco, welcome to the forum.
I paid for my v600 later than you, on March 25th, but I already received it (it was shipped on May 22nd), so yes maybe you should contact him to check if everything is fine.

  I wouldn't panic. I would say all current orders will be fulfilled as promised. He just won't be making new cards for any "new" orders. Be patient, he will respond to your email and your issue will be resolved. Kipper2k is a very honest fellow and will no doubt follow it up for you.
 
  I feel sad that he has had to step away from this but I believe he is right to do it. It seems like it has been a stressful experience and it obviously has hit him hard financially. I would do the same if I was in his position. Hopefully he can move onto other projects and really enjoy his work.

If there is a demand for it, perhaps someone else can pick up the Vampire 600 V2 project and continue to manufacture the cards. I have one and am very happy to have it.

  I hope you are right, I do not doubt Kipper's honesty, (I paid with Paypal friends option), but I would like him to respond to my e-mails to take away my worries.

I just read on EAB from him that he has had a 25% failure rate on his boards and was overwhelmed by trying to fix the problems.

Responding to an email shouldn't be that much to ask.
Sorry for his misfortunes though.

Brian responded to my email now. He said he would check and let me know.
