Radeon 9500 256-bit which was specified as softmodded.

Spineshank was the Seller on August 7, 2004 AnandTech

The card was tested as a Radeon 9500 and worked flawlessly as such. However, once it was softmodded to a 9700, it was giving artifacts in many games/apps (3DMark2001, Doom III, DeusX, etc). I contacted Nate and he gave me some sound advice, such as trying to use any other drivers/tweaks/etc. However, nothing helped. For about a week he denied he was at fault and then there was a long communication lapse during which he ignored me with this issue completely. However, I got my friend to talk to him, contacted the mods and asked the community for advice here:

As as a result, I was able to get back in touch with Nate and we were able to resolve the issue - he offered me a fair partial refund of the difference between a non-softmodding and a softmodding card. However, it took a few weeks and a lot of time and nerves to work things out, so the transaction was less than smooth. In the above thread, most of the traders agreed with my judgement on this - hence the neutral sign on this eval.

Keep in mind that this isn't a negative, and in the end ALL WAS SETTLED FAIRLY on BOTH ENDS. In my opinion, this isn't the sort of thing that should keep you from trading with Nate.

great, smooth transaction. Worked out the details, sent my end so he'd have a card to use, and he sent his. He packs well, and sent exactly when he said he was going to. I'm a happy camper. He's a good, solid, friendly trader, and i won't hesitate whatsoever to trade with him again.
