I had a WTB thread up on the Agora looking for a couple of Linksys USB Wireless Network Adapters & Sam contacted me via email, having 2 of them NIB. We negotiated the deal via email with Sam\'s being prompt & pleasant. Because Sam had no feedback at the time, we agreed that I would send 1/2 payment first & the balance on receipt of the adapters. Sam shipped as soon as he received my first payment, but there was a delay, because DHL couldn?ÇÖt find our new house, or even our street as it?ÇÖs a new sub-division. Sam tracked the package, saw that it hadn?ÇÖt been delivered & called them to find out why. He then emailed me with a contact number for me to give them directions. That?ÇÖs what I call staying on top of a trade!

TangleWeb was the Buyer on March 29, 2006 ArsTechnica

I encouraged Sam to sign up for Beer & Heat, which he did & I am happy to post his first feedback. I would trade with Sam any time.
