Review for user jloor from Blain

  • Blain (316)

    I bought an MP 1800 from him, but read on.

    Blain was the Seller on August 30, 2002 AnandTech

    Two problems (if you want to call them that), with this transaction...

    1. Communication after I made payment was nonexistent until after the package arrived. I PM'd and e-mailed him several times.
    In his defence, he stated...
    "I have recently been robbed, my computer is gone... I just wanted to reassure everyone that there packages have been sent and I will be back and running in about 2 days with a replacement computer. I will try and get back to all your PMs by that time."

    2. He wasn't able to get to the post office on the day of payment but said...
    "I just didn't get a car or a ride in time. I will still pack it up and drop it in a FedEx drop box... they should take it Tuesday morning"
    The package arrived via first class mail, not FedEx.
    Not a huge deal since it still arrived in a week.

    I've tried to be fair in this evaluation. The MP was a great deal. But the other issues with the transaction made the whole thing less than stellar. I understand that sometimes "things just happen". That's why I'm still giving him a positive evaluation.
