I paid for an AMD Athlon XP 1600+, Shuttle motherboard and 256MB PC2100 crucial DDR. I, and at least three others have not received anything from "OmegaStarRed", and have heard nothing from him for almost two weeks. If you're on another forum, DON'T DEAL WITH THIS PERSON AS THEY ARE A FRAUD.

I have sent a letter to him/her asking for a response, but it looks pretty bleak.
Here is what we know of OmegaStarRed's address:

Stephanie Mckenzie
5743 E. Pima
Tucson, AZ 85712

If anyone can help us, we'd really appreciate it!

Bought a Promise ATA/66 controller from Edgar.

jiffylube1024 was the Buyer on October 29, 2002 AnandTech

Well, I'm finally sitting down to leave the heatware I'm loathe to post. My transaction with Edgar was not very smooth (although it ended well, fortunately).

I contacted Edgar on September 11 (strange date, as it happens) and we discussed payment for his ATA card. After discovering that I can't get a c2it account since I'm in Canada (only available to US customers), we agreed that I would send a money order for $10 for the card since he doesn't accept paypal. That was fine with both of us. I got a money order and finally was able to ship it out 6 days later, and he informed me that he would be going on a vacation from September 20-30. I asked him if he could just send the card to me on faith before the MO arrived (since I had a ~30 heatware rating, and he had a ~20 one, and the fact that it was only a $10 item) but he insisted that I wait for the money order to arrive and that I should have shipped it out sooner. Although this was a hassle, I had no choice to go along with it (plus it was partially my fault for not being able to send the money order for 6 days) and waited until he came back on the 30th.

This was excessive, but in my opinion not bad heatware worthy (delays do happen), but what irked me was that the card hadn't arrived over a month later! On the 20th of October I PM'ed him and asked him where the card was. On the 21st (the following day), he told me in a PM: "Sorry jeff it tottaly slipped my mind shipping it out. I will refund your 10 dollars and just send you the ata66 for free. I will send that out first thing tommrow."

The card arrived on the 30th of October and the original money order I sent; I am now trying to cash the MO, however it is difficult since I'm not the person the MO was to be paid to. My roommate (whom the ATA/66 card was for) has been unable to use his new HD for a month, which is why I'm leaving the neutral FB.

I would possibly deal with Edgar in the future, as this was just a mistake, however it is forum rule to leave feedback for every transaction, and I'd be doing everyone a disservice if I didn't post what happened.

Good luck to you in the future, Edgar, and I can see that you're a good trader!

Bought a P4 2.8C @ 3.5 Ghz from Gus.

jiffylube1024 was the Buyer on May 4, 2005 RedFlagDeals

Yet again another flawless transaction. I would rate Gus as one of the best online traders I've ever dealt with. The CPU arrived in a day, in perfect condition and packed excellently (as all of his shipments are).

Popping the chip into my PC this morning for a quick bootup at 3.25 GHz at stock voltage was effortless - usually when you buy a guaranteed or advertised overclocked chip, it's YMMV (your mileage may vary), and they often post the highest unstable overclock, often using exorbitant cooling and outrageous voltage.

Gus is one of the few people who are completely honest about their parts. This chip ran an informal 10 minute dual-Prime 95 run after a cold boot with zero problems.

A++ trader - he should be on everyone's short list of "traders to do business with."

Bought a Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro.

jiffylube1024 was the Buyer on October 13, 2005 RedFlagDeals

Great seller- I got the card and it works perfectly. The fan whines a bit - even after dusting it (didn't mention that in the deal), but other than that everything is perfect. Worst case scenario, I'll just buy another fan - no biggie.

The card came with the full retail bundle, packaged like new. Condition is superb!

Thanks again!

Bought a Biostar M7MIA motherboard from Chok.

Bought a Dell 2005fpw widescreen LCD monitor from Wes.

jiffylube1024 was the Buyer on September 20, 2005 RedFlagDeals

Wes is an excellent trader - surprisingly so for a new trader! He was very prompt in answering my questions about the screen, and was extremely open and honest about it. He was more than happy to show me the two (miniscule) dead pixels on the display.

He was very nice in person, and very easy going! I'd definitely trade with him again.

Bought an Epox 8K7A from spanky.

jiffylube1024 was the Buyer on August 29, 2002 AnandTech

GREAT seller. Shipped right away airmail on the 30th of August. For some reason, it took until today (the 17th of Sept) to get to me in Canada. Very weird, we were both even sweating a bit, but this AMAZINGLY packaged motherboard could have survived a holocaust. Great seller, A+++++++

Thanks a bunch, dude! I look forward to dealing again in the future.

Bought a pair of Geil Gold Dragon 512MB PC3200 Value sticks.

jiffylube1024 was the Buyer on June 27, 2004 AnandTech

Great seller - David was up front and quick to reply to my queries. When shipping ended up being way cheaper than most shipments usually are, he refunded me the difference, which shows excellent honesty and character.

I wouldn't hesistate to trade with David (DorkBoy) in the future, and the RAM is working fine in my main rig right now. Those small red LED's on the RAM sticks are kinda spiffy too ;).

Thanks again!

Great seller - shipped item promptly. Was understanding when I asked to pay half first then half upon receipt of the item due to his lack of heatware.

Pat kept in good communication the whole time as well - an altogether pleasant experience. Thanks again!

I bought a WD 4.3 GB HD from Dan

jiffylube1024 was the Buyer on June 16, 2002 AnandTech

Wow! The first thing I thought of when I opened the drive is: \"nice packaging!\" Since my FB was low on Heatware, I paid first and Dan sent out the drive on the SAME DAY and it got here (to Canada) in just 7 days! Great seller, wouldn\'t hesitate for a minute to buy from him again!
