Review for user chipchen from Gerbil

  • Gerbil (143)

    I bought a SB Live! Value.

    Gerbil was the Seller on February 18, 2004 AnandTech

    Communication prior to payment was excellent. Once I\'d PayPal\'ed the money, contact was essentially lost. It took him 3 days to get back to me, and he shipped a couple days after I paid him...it\'s nothing major, just a bit scary slow to work with (people do have things to do though). The card arrived on time and was packed in a bubble *envelope* in an anti-static bag, wrapped in the side of a Kleenex box for support. At first, I was thinking, \"uh oh.\" No shipping damage occured though, and the card works fine!

    Overall, he didn\'t do bad. I\'ll give this deal a \"B\". I got the product, and it works great. I hope the questionable communication and packaging were a one time thing, and I sent him a message in hopes of conveying that many traders expect a bit more, which resulting in him being insulted. I\'m very sorry about that!

    I\'ll have to give him some credit for giving me the price I asked ($15 shipped) and not the amount he wanted. In my opinion, this is a very fair price, as I sold an identical card for that price months ago, and I saw a few going for $10 and $15 shipped the day after I bought his SB Live. Thanks!
