Pretty much the ideal buyer. Has made several purchases from me and has always been pleasant. In fact, I offered him a sweetheart deal cause he's easy to work with. Great communication, no hassle payment. Will do transactions with this person with confidence.

Having done multiple transactions with Brinstar117, I can say he is a model trader. Great communication, quick payment, and truly a pleasure to deal with before and after a deal.

Was looking to revive a mid-00 Dell PC with some fresher parts. Came with an 800MHz P3 EB (133MHz bus), and a paltry 256MB of ECC RDRAM in two sticks. Fine for the minimal work it was supposed to be doing under Windows 2000, but XP has a larger appetite. Jason here had FOUR 512MB RIMMs in the ECC flavor I was looking for. Traded some anecdotes and knowledge, and was overall a great experience.

Very well-packaged, RIMMs were even 'Dell Certified' and first set of two worked immediately.

Probably going to do more deals with Jason in the future; old or new hardware, any amount!

I sold a used complete in box EVGA GTX 970 FTW (04G-P4-2978-KR) video card.

Sold the following 'antique' Technology items: Sony PCGA-51 PC Card 24x CD-ROM (yes, CD-ROM) D-Link WNA1330 PC Card (Yes, an 'external' WiFi card) SSD Mounting Kit from an Intel SSD (no branding, just nice cryptic fact of its origin)

During the transaction negotiation phase, J4s0n (last name redacted) was very humble about my shipping all these things to him. I told him, and do believe 'As long as they will go to a better home than the museum mine has been'....Okay, not those *exact* words, but basic idea.

Anyway, he was wonderful to deal with, again, very humble, since I was making nothing on these items. Though I still have to admit, I could have gone to eBay and probably made quite a killing on that Sony CD-ROM, I would feel bad, knowing someone could have used it for whatever interesting project J4s0n had in mind. I hope it's interesting anyway. And I wish he would keep me in the loop, if at all possible.
