Were you JHayes on QRHQ? No I am on over 15 forums and use the same name although usually all caps.

I don't disagree with what steps you have taken. When I return there Wed. I plan to photo everything he has and then we can have some idea what we are dealing with. If you cannot hold out until then I don't blame you for taking other means you seem fit. However in communicating to him via FB or posting anywhere right now please try a cordial approach which I have good reason to believe will go a long way for us all. I simply cannot just show up and get yours or I would. Sorry if I was pointing anything too harsh your way, I would feel the same way if I were in your shoes but trust me on one thing if we are all tactful, then expect progress. The loss of return shipping sucks, my stuff isn't exactly (nor what I loss today for my effort) how I hoped but I am glad things weren't worse. I want to see everyone get what is theirs, I would hate to be in your shoes right now. Just trying to pay it forward dude. Also you and I didn't PM Saturday or Sunday like a few others did. I am sorry for that, I tried to reach who I thought had stuff but was very busy in between work and my Son.
As far as the goofy egg scenario, our parts and this situation is like an egg. The goal is to get it across the room safely. Give it a chance. 
You sound pretty sincere to me, give him a few days guys. And start trying to come up with a list of parts sent, parts payed for and $$$ sent for machine work/services performed. Pictures will definatly help sorting all the parts.
