I needed a motherboard to replace a failed board in a system that had given me quite a bit of trouble & Doug offered to send out a suitable replacement for little more than the cost of shipping. Communication over Christmas was prompt & very pleasant. I sent out a money order; there was a slight delay in shipping because of the holidays, but I received the stuff in time to complete the project in the time required.

** 20 lashes to me for the delay in posting this well deserved feedback :-)

This is actually me second deal with Doug, I sent him an old overdrive processor for an interesting ?Ç£XP on old hardware?Ç¥ project.

I would be happy to trade with Doug again any time.

I needed some SDRam & Clint sent me a couple of sticks at no cost. He wouldn\'t even take shipping.

It\'s traders like Clint that make the Agora the best place to trade online, bar none.

Very smooth transaction! I PayPal'd Darren shipped right away. I received it within days & they were very well packaged! Good e-mail communication throughout!

I purchased several things from Shantanu; a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop with all accys, a nice set of Klipsch speakers, a 16mb PCI video card, a hard drive, memory, etc. Communication was prompt, detailed & pleasant throughout. We spoke by phone several times working out the details. Shantanu shipped the first part including everything except the laptop & accys, and then I sent a Bank Cashier's Check for the total. We were both concerned that the laptop be packaged adequately for shipping, so I sent him 2 custom Dell shipping boxes since I had them available from work. The laptop arrived & was packed so neatly, you would have thought it was a new laptop! Shantanu even include a REALY nice Dell branded leather laptop case that wasn?ÇÖt even part of the deal. That was a nice touch!

TangleWeb was the Buyer on May 11, 2003 ArsTechnica

This has to be one of the best & smoothest deals to date & I have had a bunch of good ones! I would not hesitate to trade with Shantanu again & recommend him highly to other traders.

I purchased a motherboard & CPU from \"The_Dog\".

Jamie responded to my WTB thread on ARS\\Agora. Very good communication. I paid with PayPal e-Check & Jamie shipped before funds even cleared. Very nice of him since I was still pretty much a \"Newbie\" on Agora. He must have shipped it about 5 minutes after we reached agreement, because I received the mobo & CPU US Priority mail 2 days later. It was very well packaged. I would not hesitate to do business with Jamie again. Great Trader!

John had a FS thread up on the Agora with an external DVD-Writer. We discussed it by email, I sent PayPal & John shipped quickly. I received it in a timely manner & it was well packed.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on September 9, 2007 ArsTechnica

Overall a very smooth trade. I\'d be happy to trade with John again anytime.

I purchased a stick of DDR RAM from Erik

TangleWeb was the Buyer on September 4, 2002 ArsTechnica

This is my second transaction with Erik. I payPal'd, he shipped quick. As before, great communication throughout. Packaging was excellent. I would gladly do business with Erik again. Highly reccomended trader.

Robbie posted to my WTB thread on 11/24/02 offering 2 sticks of RAM. We reached an agreement & I sent a Postal Money Order first (11/25/02) even though Robbie is a relatively new trader since he didn't have the money to ship prior to receiving my payment. He e-mailed advising he had received my MO on Monday 12/04/02 stating he would ship it Thursday or Friday 12/7-8/02. I received the RAM adequately packaged on 12/12/02.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on December 11, 2002 ArsTechnica

There was slightly more delay in shipping than there should have been, but I would trade with Robbie again.

I had a FT thread up offering the "DragonLance Chronicles Trilogy Box-Set" in trade for various small computer items. Ian offered 3 small PCI video cards that I needed. Ian & I have traded before & this deal was as smooth as the other. I shipped the books Priority with DC & Ian did the same. I received the cards in short order, they were in anti-static bags & very well packaged.

Cross-traded on January 16, 2004 ArsTechnica

A smooth deal all round. I would be happy to trade with Ian again.

Daniel had a WTT thread up looking for a Sound Blaster sound card. I wasn't quick enough & he purchased it from another trader. I needed the PC133 RAM & Yamaha CD-RW drive he had listed for trade, so I offered to purchase them. This made it like a 3-way trade :-) Daniel was willing to wait for funds as I had to wait till a guy paid me & once I PayPal'd he shipped. He even bumped the shipping to priority Insured with Delivery Confirmation at no additional cost due to a very slight delay on his end.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on January 9, 2004 ArsTechnica

Communication was prompt, detailed & pleasant. Packaging was excellent. I would trade with Daniel again anytime.

Recommended trader.

I purchased a motherboard from Matt.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on May 16, 2002 ArsTechnica

Communication was excellent. A little slow to ship, but he was out of town for a couple of days. Made up for it by including memory on the board that was not part of the agreed deal. The system board was very well packaged. I would do business with Matt again.

I purchased a Slot 1 Celeron from Andrew.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on May 14, 2002 ArsTechnica

Extremely ethical trader! There was a slight delay in shipping & Andrew bent over backwards to make it right! I would not hesitate to do business with Andrew again. I wish all traders had Andrew\'s standards!

Very smooth trade. I had a WTB thread up looking for some smallish hard drives for a friend. "M" offered an 8 GB WD at a very fair price. E-mail communication was prompt & pleasant; my friend PayPal'd & "M" shipped. Drive arrived in short order & tested out perfectly.

Another great transaction with Tom! This is at least my third :) I had a WTB thread up looking for some smallish hard drives for a friend; Tom offered up 3 nice 4.3 GB WD drives at a very fair price, my friend PayPal'd & Tom shipped UPS ground, providing a tracking number. The drives arrived very quickly & were in good shape.

Another great trade with Steve! I had a WTB thread up looking for a parallel card. Steve responded with an offer, we negotiated & a deal was struck. Communication was prompt & pleasant & when I explained that I needed the card by the weekend to complete a project Steve went out of his way to ship it USPS Priority immediately. I did in fact receive it Friday afternoon, saving my bacon :-) Packaging was excellent. I paid via PayPal.

I am just a little "delinquent" in posting this feedback! Anyway, I was having difficulty cooling a problem Athlon system, so posted a WTB thread looking for ?Ç£better than stock?Ç¥ cooling. Matt offered a PAL 8045 at a very reasonable price & even agreed to lap it for me. I PayPal?ÇÖd & Matt shipped. I had the heat sink in very short order & it was extremely well packaged! As he promised it was lapped down to 1000 wet & wrapped in Saran Wrap.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on January 24, 2004 ArsTechnica

Matt went above & beyond on this deal! I would be happy to trade with Matt again any time.

Kendall had a FS thread up on the Agora with an older system with an OEM copy of Windows XP for sale. I replied & we corresponded by email to finalize the trade details. Kendall was willing to run some tests I requested (Prime95 & Memtest86) & visually inspect the motherboard for swollen caps. He installed a modem at my request as well. I sent PayPal & Kendall shipped. The package arrived in short order & the system was very well packed. When I powered it on, I found that not only had he installed Windows as agreed, he had applied all Windows updates & installed several necessary programs as well.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on March 17, 2007 ArsTechnica

This is my second excellent trade with Kendall & I?ÇÖd be happy to deal with him again any time.

~Dave

Orie had a nice PIII Compaq DeskPro he no longer needed. We had discussed that I like these models, so he offered it to me at a very fair price. He shipped in advance of payment on the understanding that I would send payment later. Well, it ended up being a lot later & Orie was very patient with me over the delay.

TangleWeb was the Buyer on July 14, 2009 ArsTechnica

The packing job on the computer was excellent, it was in very good condition & communication was excellent.

Orie is a pleasure to work with, I wouldn?ÇÖt hesitate to deal with him again.
