    Traded items plus money towards an ALR/Aquanta DR/2U rackmount dual processor server

    Cross-traded on November 12, 2002 Other/Unknown

    Came through with money but took EXCESSIVELY long time to do it, the fact that he did eventually give me my money is the only reason I am not giving him a negative reference. This trader may also be known as Alex J, Maddkid17, Hotlinehero, Alex Juchniewicz, cyberthug, cyberthug1, treedown, pioneer, Jman, theNut, AJguy, AJcomp, Dell4me and probably other names too. Gladly sent first items + some cash with tracking and I allowed him some leeway so he could afford to buy processors to stock the server for an upcoming lan party he was hosting. He made another payment towards the server in a month, then switched aim names and never came online so that I could pester him about getting my money. Received another payment another 2 months after the second and a third almost 5 after the third payment. I had to threaten legal action against him in order to get my last 2 payments, and after a month he admitted that the server didn't work when he got it and tried to bargain me down on the price, to which I replied that he should have parted it out or claimed insurance from UPS on it (it was insured for over $600 USD, more than the cash + items he traded for it), and he instead said that he had destroyed the box it came in and thrown it away.

    That server had been running 24/7 crunching numbers and when not crunching hosted 2-3 lan parties, until I pulled the processor, packaged it up and shipped it.

    I don't consider him a troll because he didn't make off with my money BUT I caution doing business with him if you want things done in a timely manner. He will often try to put off payment because of car payments and insurance payments he has to make, as if the rest of us don't also have to do so. However, threatening to file a report on him will make him bend over backwards to
    comply with your request.

    Others have been trolled by
    him in the past. Feel free to contact me if you need his personal information or want to call his parents.
