Angry Kiss your KB Gear rebates goodbye

After 3 months of waiting for my rebates on the KB Gear Jam Cam 3.0, I went searching on the internet and other forums. It looks very bleak. Here is a link from FW which basically explains it.

I tried calling the numbers that were listed and none of them were in service.

Here are some more comments from the AT forum:

<< KB Gear liquidated and as of Nov. 1, 2001, is no longer in business. As a result, the company is unable to provide consumers with a remedy. >>

I guess you won't be getting paid from them. Take it up with your local store, although since the rebates were generally not advertised by the stores you might have problems there. Good luck. I'm fortunate in that I submitted mine long enough ago that I got paid for all of them.
This may be an idea, but I don't know how willing the retailers would be to take money out of their pockets for something that wasn't their fault.

Any coincidence that I just checked www.rebatestatus.com and my JamCam 3.0 $30 rebate is no longer found? I sent a webmail inquiry but don't expect a reply. I tried calling 877-776-3493 which was on the rebate form and it refers you to 800-531-2842 KB Gear Tech Supt. After getting a Tech Supt. Rep, he said try KBGear HQ at 952-656-6000. Haven't tried HQ yet, but if they liquidated we are SOL. Also going to try the direct line to www.rebatestatus.com 888-314-9908 mentioned previously.
One of my rebates used to be on www.rebatestatus, but it's not there anymore.

This really bites. Now I am out $60.00. I gave KB Gear way too much credit earlier when I said they were a reputable company by honoring the rebates that weren't from participating retailers. I guess it's easy to promise anything when you don't follow up.
