PC Games: Crysis, BF2, + UT 2004.

deadken was the Buyer on February 11, 2010 AnandTech

I was looking for the PC game Crysis. I found Volkswagen\'s F/S thread and he was selling (3) games for a good enough price that it wasn\'t worth trying to Crysis alone. While the lack of Paypal was a slight inconvenience, it was not a big deal at all.

His communication was very good, his packing was superb, and he was very prompt in his shipping. It was a pleasure dealing with him and I hope to deal with him again.

Used Socket A H/S Fan

deadken was the Buyer on April 18, 2009 AnandTech

A pleasure to deal with. Fair price. Good communication. Good packaging. Timely Shipping. What more can you ask for?

I look forward to dealing with teb468 in the future.

Canon A40 PowerShot Camera

deadken was the Buyer on April 2, 2005 AnandTech

I bought this camera from Spanky with no worries. After dealing with him in the past (last time, I sold to him), I knew that he is a GREAT trader.

He has great communication skills, and kept in contact with me reguarly (updated me with shipping info, etc..) and was sn 'all around' great guy (nice price on the camera also). He even included a USB Cable for the camera (it was listed as a 'bare camera'), because he came accross it before he shipped. Very thoughtful and greatly appreciated.

I am looking forward to dealing with him again!

2X120mm Panaflo's 1 Blue Orb

deadken was the Buyer on October 5, 2004 AnandTech

Good comunicator, took the time to explain why having a Paypal confirmed address is important. Never got impatient. Packaged stuff FANTASTIC! I almost couldn't find the Blue ORB! I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

Patriot 2,2,2,5 PC3200 DDR Memory

deadken was the Buyer on November 10, 2005 AnandTech

I purchased a stick of Patriot 2,2,2,5 PC 3200 Ram from compwarez. He was very good to deal with. He communicated well and promptly. He linked to exact products. He packed nicely and shipped soon.

As a 'bonus', he even threw in the 'other' stick of memory (one was good, the other bad). He couldn't remember which was which (he hadn't marked them) and I was fine with testing them when I got them (since I would be testing them anyway). The one that has been tested so far has passed memtest for over 12hours (I guess that is the 'good' one).

I am very happy that I got the chance to 'deal' with 'compwarez'. I look forward to 'trading' with him in the future!

Duron 1300 w/HS/Fan, 2x256MB PC 100, and a ECS Mobo.

deadken was the Buyer on May 27, 2005 AnandTech

I purchased a 'basic' folding rig from 'ariafrost'. What started out as my interest in a CPU turned into a very friendly encounter. Ariafrost may not be a very established trader as of yet, but he certainly knows how to trade. He was very reasonable in his pricing, EXCELLENT in his comunication, and very good in his packing and shipping.

It has truly been my pleasure in dealing with him and I look forward to the opportunity to 'deal with him again.

Bought 2x8GB PNY Memory kit

deadken was the Buyer on July 31, 2024 HardForum

Very good communication, very good shipping time, very good packing.

I guess that equals a very good guy to deal with!

I wouldn't hesitate to purchase any items from PingSpike and I would recommend him to others.

The Sims 2 DVD game

Cross-traded on July 21, 2005 AnandTech

We traded games. Cook_1 has good comunication (she was very clear about when she was out of town and when she would be back) and was very pleasant to deal with.

Another Positive evaluation for a great trade!

Bought 3 DVD's.

deadken was the Buyer on December 1, 2004 AnandTech

I bought 3 DVD's from dedpuhl and all seem to be as advertised. They are clean, they were well packaged and he shipped promptly. I haven't had the time to watch 2 of them yet, but they look to be fine and I didn't want to wait any longer to leave a positive for what seems to be a good seller.

I/O Plates.

deadken was the Buyer on October 21, 2004 AnandTech

I bought a few small I/O Plates from Quincunx.

If he took the time to treat this small transaction this well, I am sure that he is FANTASTIC where larger money/items are concerned.

I would not hestitate to deal with him again!

AMD 800Mhz CPU + HS/Fan

deadken was the Seller on March 16, 2005 AnandTech

Clear and concise buyer, very nice to deal with, and fast payment, what more could you ask for?

Used Leadtek TV2000XP TV Tuner

deadken was the Buyer on January 8, 2007 AnandTech

Crono had a PCI TV tuner for sale. We agreed upon a price. He shipped promptly. His packing could have been better (but it wasn\'t terrible). He had good communication.

I would do business with Crono again.

AMD XP 2000+ CPU (Bare)

deadken was the Buyer on August 3, 2004 AMDMB

Seller was very good. Good preliminary communication, good shipping, and very good post communication!

I was stress testing the CPU in my daughters rig, and I didn't post or email him saying I got the CPU right away. BigB emailed me asking if I had received the CPU. A nice follow up from a nice seller.

I just need to get used to these Palimino temps. (my first Palimino core CPU).

I bought a 40GB HD, 92MM Fan, and a Stock AMD HS/Fan.

deadken was the Buyer on March 17, 2005 Other/Unknown

I bought a 40GB HD, 92MM Fan, and a Stock AMD HS/Fan. The package arrived promptly, and the items were packed well. Afrakes was patient enough to let me pay what I had in my Paypal account and pay the rest ($11) when my transfer had 'cleared'. All items tested fine. Good Trader here. Thanks.

Stick of PC133 laptop memory

deadken was the Buyer on August 31, 2010 HardForum

I wanted to upgrade an old laptop I have and Dave was very helpful. Being an old laptop, it needed a particular 'density' memory in order to be recognized properly. Dave looked through what he had and sent me two sticks to try. He was extremely gracious in sending it first. I tried the one that was in the open package, it worked, and I sent back what I didn't use the next day.

I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Dave again. He is a pleasure to deal with. His attitude and helpfulness are outstanding! His communication, packing, and shipping were all fine.

3 X 80mm Blue LED fans

deadken was the Buyer on August 20, 2004 AnandTech

I bought 3 Blue LED fans from 'Trojan Man'. All items were as described. Packaging was good as was shipping.

I would do business with him again.

Soyo SY-7VEM Mobo and Tualatin Adapter.

deadken was the Seller on October 17, 2004 AMDMB

A pleasure to deal with. communication was great, I mean really great. He did not waste time as so many people do. Eight days from the original PM to the final Heatware Eval.

I would not hesitate to do business with amun again.

Antec 2650BQE Case (minus PS).

deadken was the Buyer on April 28, 2005 AnandTech

I bought an Antec case from gxshockwav. We met up locally and he is a great person to deal with. Very pleasant.

Case was in pristine condition with all the items (except the PS, which was known). He even had the original box and manual. What can I say... A nice person to deal with, good price, great communication. A definite POSITIVE.

I am looking forward to more 'deals' with gxshockwav.

Call of Duty 2 (Non-Retail)

deadken was the Buyer on October 7, 2007 Other/Unknown

Newtekie1 listed some items for sale on \'Tech Power Up\' forums. I sent a PM and we agreed on a price (of which I ended up being $0.11 short). He agreed to take the payment, less the 11 cents, rather then wait for me to transfer more money to my Paypal account.

Newtekie1 shipped promptly and I tested the software within 3 days of getting it.

I wouldn\'t hesitate to trade with Newtekie1 again. He responded to PM\'s promptly and was a pleasure to deal with overall.

Returned $50 Paypal Payment that I sent to him by mistake. I guess you would call it 'Traded'...

Cross-traded on October 23, 2004 Other/Unknown

He returned $50 Paypal Payment that I sent to him by mistake. I PM'd him and he sent it right back. He didn't ask questions, he just sent it back. I didn't find out until later that it cost him $1.75 in PayPal fees. He didn't want the $1.75 just because we had dealt earlier.

I guess what we have here is a TRUE GENTLEMAN. If you had accidentaly put $50 in a guys wallet (a guy you had done a small one time transaction with), and he paid $1.75 to send it back to you NO QUESTIONS ASKED, what would you call him?

Free copy of Half-Life 2

deadken was the Buyer on April 9, 2008 AnandTech

I can\'t really say that I was the buyer since Inspector Jihad refused to take any money from me....

I started a thread at Anandtech asking if I could remove a Half-Life 2 Episode 1 from my Steam account so that my son and I could play HL2 deathmatch together. I found out that you can\'t remove a game once it is activated on a Steam account.

Inspector Jihad replied in the thread and offered to give my son a FREE copy of HL2! I tried numerous times to give him some money, but he remained a COMPLETE gentleman and refused any kind of payment!

He transferred the game over to my son (no need to send any disks with a Steam account) very promptly once he got all of his account information.

I would recommend this generous Anandtech community member to anyone. It has truly been my pleasure to deal with him.

ATI Remote Wonder

deadken was the Buyer on January 28, 2005 Rage3D

What a pleasure! First off, the package was shipped from NV on Thursday and I got it in NY on Saturday! The best $2 upgrade to Priority I have ever spent. Second off, the item seemed to be a BRAND-NEW unit! I mean, all accessories, and even a 4-pack of AAA Batteries (still shrink wrapped!). It wasn't listed in the thread as NEW, but it sure looks to be NEW (No Tact has since PM'd me and said that the unit is in fact NEW).

He is a very respected and very reasonable seller. He communicates well and ships promptly. His prices are good and his reputation is FLAWLESS! What more could you ask for?

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro W/Zalman HS

deadken was the Buyer on June 25, 2005 AnandTech

Again ariafrost made this a pleasurable experience. His excellent communication, good packing, and prompt shipping leaves me looking forward to the next time he has something for sale.

60GB 3.5\" Hard Drive

deadken was the Buyer on January 22, 2010 HardForum

I bought a 60GB HD from ilikecake from over at [H]ardforums. The price was very good. His communication was prompt, helpful, and accurate. The shipping was quick (and included DC, which was very nice considering the total price), and the packing was terrific. The HD works and tests fine.

All-in-all, I couldn\'t have asked for a better transaction. Everything was that good.

I traded an Amazon GC for his Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro.

Cross-traded on September 30, 2004 Other/Unknown

What a good guy! He shipped promptly and packed VERY WELL. When there was difficulty in getting the Mobo to work properly, he was helpful, cooperative, and PATIENT! (I was withholding payment). I would not hesitate to deal with him again.
