    two 120GB drives for $80 shipped

    Hagbeard was the Seller on March 30, 2006 ArsTechnica

    On Oct 11, 2005, Joe and I struck a deal for two 120GB hard drives for $80. He said he would fdisk and chkdsk the drives to be sure they would be ok, but he wouldn\'t be able to ship until the following Friday (3 days later). I Paypal\'d him the money.
    A week after he said he would ship he emailed me saying he was sorry, things came up, but he\'d be able to ship the next day and he\'d throw in a 40GB drive to make up for the delay. I said ok.

    Another 10 days passed and nothing, so I wrote him again but didn\'t get a response. The drives showed up a month later, and a 40GB drive was included as promised. However, one of the 120GB drives was DOA. I wrote him asking how he wanted to proceed. I never got a response, so three weeks after that email I forwarded the same email to him and finally got a response. He said he could ship another, but it would have to be after Christmas. I said ok.

    After no response to emails in January, Ars mods were involved and got a response in February, and he said he forgot to ship. As of March 31 I still have a dead drive and AFAIK he\'s been banned forum-wide on Ars.
