rhasan

This is probably the longest trade I have been involved in :) Rhasan & I reached an agreement where I purchased a Dell Optiplex GX1 from him on Sept 23rd **2002**. Shipping was a little slow & I received the system Oct. 7th I ended up using another system for the purpose I had intended the Dell for, so didn't bench the system right away. When I did, I discovered that the BIOS was corrupt & the system was un-bootable. I emailed Rhasan on Nov. 30th 2002 with the details of the problem, then again on Dec. 8th when I had not received a response. He replied that evening & agreed to send out a replacement systemboard. He indicated he shipped it on Dec. 14th, but I never received it. Unfortunately tracking was not used. He emailed on Dec. 31st stating he would ship another board that following Monday Jan. 2nd 2003 with tracking & email the tracking number to me. I did not receive an email & the board never arrived. I put the system aside at this point & didn?ÇÖt do anything with it. I pulled the system out again Dec. 6th 2003 & remembered that Rhasan & I had an un-resolved deal. I emailed & Rhasan quickly replied and was very apologetic for dropping the ball on the mobo replacement. He shipped the board right away, I received it in short order & it was very well packaged. I finally replaced the board today (Jan 4th 2004) & the system works perfectly!

I am posting this as a neutral because Rhasan did resolve the issue in the end. He could have simply said too much time had passed & that he fulfilled his obligation by shipping one board, though it wasn?ÇÖt received. I think Rhasan is an ethical trader, I just think he is sometimes very busy & has a hard time keeping all the balls in the air.

Despite this somewhat ?Ç£lengthy?Ç¥ deal, I would trade with Rhasan again.

Cross-traded on September 25, 2001 ArsTechnica

Well, this will make me look like an idiot, but basically after agreeing to a trade I discovered the 50' Crossover cable I was supposed to send to Rhasan was actually only 25'. :( I let him know right away (which was after he had mailed his package), but he said, "Don't worry about it." He didn't even want anything to make up the difference!? That's a sign of a trader you definitely want to deal with, I know I hope to again. :)

This is my second trade with Rhasan; this one went perfectly. He had a FS thread with a several items I had use for. We reached agreement for an Abit - KT7, Duron 800, two 128mb sticks PC133 RAM, a 56K modem, an ISA NIC & 2.1 GB drive. Email communication was prompt & pleasant. Rhasan was very understanding when I needed to delay payment for several days awaiting funds. When I PayPal?ÇÖd Rhasan shipped Priority Insured with Delivery Confirmation. I received the package in short order & packaging was first-rate.

I sold Rhasan a pair of Dell-branded 56k modems. He sent payment via PayPal, and I shipped on July 23rd.

He needed them by Saturday for a project, and was willing to wait for me to test the modems prior to shipping. We kept in touch via email, and everything went smoothly.
