Bought a XP2500+ and NF7-S Rev 2.0 from him.
notoriousformula was the Seller on May 27, 2004 Other/Unknown
The CPU was chipped and he didn't mention it. He said he didn't think it was a big deal, so that part I could understand. However, he was NOT very cooperative in refunding the money for the CPU, even though he did refund it in the end. Also, he noted that this CPU should run 3200+ at about stock voltage stable but it didn't (1 minute of Prime95, then fails). I don't hold it against him cause always YMMV, but I was using watercooling and my temperature was 35C under 100% load so I suppose it was better than his aircooling.
He claimed he contacted the company he bought the CPU from and they said it was OK that it's chipped. When I contacted them, they said they would never say anything of this sort and the CPU is no longer under warranty.
I am only trying to be fair and post an honest eval. He DID refund my money, so I would no go as far as saying to NOT trade with him - just look @ all the positives he's got. The only thing I would say is PLEASE read these chat logs which illustrate my trading experience with him (warning:profanity):

I know I don't have much heat and this guy was the 1st guy I ever traded. Contact CarpeDiem99 - he'll confirm what I've said.
Response from notoriousformulaAnswer to his neutral heatware eval:
1)First off all, This guy is INVISIBLE( no, honestly!).. he never called or saw me in person.. Though he LIVES in the SAME CITY and within 2-3 miles Radius.. He always sent his Friends to deal for him?? His friends came Twice to my home to deal for him and BOTH times he made up ridiculous excuses(read on..)
2) I admit i sold him a scratched NOT a chipped one(they way he explains)OEM AMD 2500+ CPU which i bought from ATIC computers, I ran the CPU at 3200+ at stock voltages for over 6 months without any problems.. He says it didn't even pass the 1st minute of Prime95..I ran 24/7 Folding @ home on that cpu..how can you say it never passed the stress test..
3) he fought with me over and over again that i gave him a bad chip and it won't run at over 3200+ speeds.. i NEVER promised him 3200+ and above speeds.. I never mentioned that this is a very good clocker core or anything.. EVEN his friend Ameer(CarpeDiem99) agreed that he should run a 2500+ at 2500+ speeds and stop whining about it. He claims himself to be a great mod god..as far as i know he doesn't even know how to mount a heatsink properly..
4) He tried to threaten me many times that he will leave me with negative remarks, He also Thread crapped my other FS threads on AT within 1-2 days of buying the combo..
5) I tried to get hold of him and called his friend's phone(the only contact # i have) many times.. he never came to the phone.(why??)
6) I agreed to refund CPU money and asked him to come and pick up the cash..Instead of coming in Person he sent his friends to pick up the refund (dude..its your refund.. don't make silly excuses that you can't come!!)
7) 3 days after the refund, He PMs me back and says that another friend of his would like to buy the Scratched chip from me.. WOW! he is happy to recommend a bad chip(he calls it) to his friends?? everybody would love a friend like HIM..
In response i told him that my experience with him has been very bad and will not sell the chip to his friend. FROM that PM i was sure that he badly wanted the chip and tried to use the "friend wants to but the chip" trick so that he can buy it again for a cheaper price. PATHETIC!!!
8) After all this, he didn't stop here and started a new thing, missing SATA adapter with NF7-S board. He pmed me every hour on AT for it or a >$20-25CDN refund, i again explained him that i never mentioned any SATA in my FS post on AT. He again threaten me that this will result into a negative heatware for me. Alas i had no option so I offered him a Vantec nexus 301 Fan controller + two Cold Cathode lights($40USD Value).. He HAPPILY agrees, Sends me a PM within few secs and SAYS OKAY to the deal.. after 1 WEEKS of no commuinication he PMs me back that HIS FRIENDS WILL PICK the controller from my place(HE made another ridiculous excuse that he wants to play basket ball that day.. wtf??) IN RETURN I asked him to leave me with an appropriate heatware evals(for the mobo deal) before his friends pick up the controller..HE leaves another 2 WEEKS communication gap ..and replies me back that the DEAL WAS OFF(after TWO WEEKS OF THINKING??) and he no longer wants the controller and will leave me with a bad heatware.
Summary: I will never trade/deal with him or his friends...the outcome of this deal = over 1 month of stress, watching him thread crap my FS threads and listening to his ridiculous excuses from his friend's mouth..May 27, 2004

Sold Intel Banias 1.6Ghz CPU chip
notoriousformula was the Buyer on December 20, 2004 Other/Unknown
Very patient and nice. Canada's or US's post office lost money order and was cool with waiting to see if it showed up. It never showed and he payed through Paypal to compensate. Transaction went smooth on everything we could control. Very stand-up and honest guy since I shipped with no tracking and he notified me when he received it. Would definitely deal with again if a deal came up!!!
