Review for user Mr.Pickles from TurK-FX

  • TurK-FX (359)

    He sold me defective Asus Radeon 6970 DCII

    TurK-FX was the Seller on February 19, 2014 HardForum

    I paid via money order since seller was a long time member here. Money cleared from my checking account and 2/25, he PMed me saying what is your address the same moment money was cleared from my account. I waited 3-4 days, asked for a tracking#. he was regularly coming online ever day(I checked his profile), but he ignored me. After a week, I sent him an email stating I will call my bank and file a froud. He immediately called me. He said his roommate was supposed to ship, but he did not, and he would ship it the next day. 2 more day past by and still no tracking, so I called and left him voice mail, and he called me back saying money is not cleared yet. I checked my bank account online, and it was cleared on my side a week ago. He gave me crap about it takes 10 days to clear. Anyways, he Promised to expedite the shipping march 7th(money cleared from my account Feb 25th) So I took his word. Then on 7th he shipped via UPS ground and i Got the package on March 18th. I tested the card march 19th and it was overheating. I wanted to return, but he forced me to re-apply the thermal paste. So since March 19th, I been trying to resolve this issue. I got Artic cooling ceramic paste and card runs over 100C within 30sec of running MSI Kombuster test.

    First he told me to replace with the other 6970 he has which runs 65C under 100%stress, Now he is telling me sale is as-is and he is done with me. So I am hoping.

    I have all the email, text correspondence, to prove all this. I will be taking legal action as well.

    If he makes this right, I will be fixing this negative feedback.
