2x256mb PC133 Double Sided (16 chip) DIMMS and WD800JB hdd under warranty.

TechnoButt was the Seller on August 17, 2005 AnandTech

He paid quickly. I shipped fairly quickly in a secure package. He notified me promptly upon receipt. It's been 4 days since then and I haven't gotten any indication that he's having any trouble (or responses to requests about the same and heatware). We're beyond my standard 72hr DOA, so I'm assuming everything is ok and leaving positive feedback for what appears to have been an easy and quick transaction. Highly recommended!

He paid promptly, had great communication, notified me promptly upon receiving, tested quickly, and provided heatback. How could I expect any more in a deal? Great trader!

He sold me a pair of 512mb PC133 64x64 (64x4) ultra high density dimms.

TechnoButt was the Seller on January 31, 2005 AnandTech

Rapid shipment. Solid packaging. Excellent communication. Patient seller. He realized there was a good chance for incompatibility with these sticks and was very reassuring that had they not worked out I could ship them back for a refund at my cost of shipping. Upfront and honest trader. I'd gladly do business with him again as a buyer OR a seller. A+

He paid promptly with paypal. I shipped well packaged. I missed a Friday fedex ground outbound so it didnt' go out until following Monday. He did not complain one bit about the small delay. Promptly tested the unit on delivery and stayed in constant communication throughout the deal. I'm glad to be the first to leave feedback for someone who's on their way to becoming an established great trader. A+

Flash card reader for various formats with black/silver faceplates.

TechnoButt was the Buyer on August 7, 2005 AnandTech

She provided pictures when asked and was willing to negotiate a bit on price to make it worthwhile. I paid first, she shipped promptly and reasonably well packaged. Good communication. Good transaction, would do again.

I bought a CPU described as having a few bent pins. It worked out GREAT!

SLK-700 copper heatsink and original TMD fan

TechnoButt was the Buyer on May 9, 2005 AnandTech

Rapid shipment and good communication. There was a slight hiccup when the package arrived without the clips that hold the fan in place, but Karsten quickly found the missing clips and paid extra to ship them out rapidly the same day (without being asked). I always say it's the trades that have problems that separate the good traders from the bad, and even a trade that really didn't involve enough money to matter to most people received nothing but the FASTEST and most careful handling by Karsten. A true asset to the trading community. I'd gladly buy anything from him big or small in the future.

Antec Overture and Sony 12X DVD-Rom (silver).

TechnoButt was the Buyer on June 2, 2005 AnandTech

Rapid shipment. Decent packaging (it's so hard to package a full size steel atx case, but he got it here with no damage and that's what counts). Products work as expected. Great communication throughout. I'd work with this guy again in a heartbeat.

Audiovox Pocket PC

RAPID shipment. Item is as advertised. Good communication. Will work with this guy again without hesitation.

I sold Blaine a complete high definition HTPC with dual tuners, large hard drives, and so forth based on NF2/barton mobile 2600.

TechnoButt was the Seller on July 18, 2005 AnandTech

He paid and I shipped fedex ground. The heatsink broke away in shipping and damaged several components (motherboard, cpu, video card, hsf, and case). He took pictures and contacted me promptly via email when he saw the contents. I immediately ordered replacements (like for like) through newegg and had them shipped directly to Blaine. He installed them and reported everything was ok except the video card. He returned the video card. Fedex denied my insurance claim for $444.46+shipping on the package (my costs of replacing the damaged components with like for like, but newer revisions with full retail packaging/warranty). Blaine was nice enough to let me keep the $75 refund for the defective video card (which put me out $370) and agreed to send me the XP-90C heatsink I ordered as a replacement for the SLK700 that was damaged and no longer available (as the XP-90C wouldn't work with the system). He worked with me to try and resolve the claim with fedex doing everything he could to assist. He even sent back the damaged parts on his nickel. They still denied the claim. I worked through the Better Business Bureau to resolve the claim with Fedex and two months later I've been notified that I'm going to receive a partial settlement.

Blaine was in no way responsible for any of the problems in the transaction. In fact, he went above and beyond by letting me keep the refund for the second video card from newegg to help offset my $450 loss and to agree to send me the $50 XP-90C that he couldn't use.

I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. He was honest, upfront, made payment in full, provided the labor to replace the damaged parts without any complaint. He was courteous, provided pictures of the shipping damage and packaging.

If you ever have opportunity to do business with Blaine on any level (I can attest for up to $1000 on a single transaction), he is honest, has great communication, and is very easy to deal with even when the situation goes to hell. :) A+ trader, asset to the community.

He sold me an i815e chipset socket370 mobo (unknown mfg - turns out to be a Jetway 618AS Pro) with i/o shield/driver disk.

TechnoButt was the Seller on November 30, 2004 AnandTech

Good communication. Insignificant shipping delay, but he kept me in communication throughout. Very responsible seller. Will gladly do business again. Board posted ok, haven't had time to thoroughly test but everything seems on the up and up. :)

Traded a logitech MX510 and some PDP PDC5123200LLK (2x256mb PC3200 DDR) for a Pioneer head unit.

Cross-traded on July 19, 2005 AnandTech

He shipped first thanks to a significant difference in our heat. He packaged well and shipped promptly. I got the unit in great condition. Only hiccup was a missing trim ring, which he promptly sent as soon as I mentioned it (somehow it didn't make it into the box). Great trade with a great trader. I look forward to working with him again! A+

Very desirable buyer. Offered, paid, and promptly left heatware on receipt. What more could you ask?

Visiontek X850XT PCI-e bare card (no retail hsf) and a Zalman VF700Cu cooler.

TechnoButt was the Seller on August 23, 2005 AnandTech

He paid promptly and let me know as soon as the package arrived. There were some problems with playback on some video files, but they appear to have been codec/driver issues and not problems with the card. User reports 3D Gaming is great! Overall, good transaction. Great trader. Solid communication. I'd work with him anytime and so should you.
