  • I bought a SCSI card and HDD from Austin

    Locutus was the Buyer on August 8, 2004 HardForum

    a few weeks ago i saw this thread

    i contacted Th3KrawL3R by PM and we agreed to a HDD and scsi controller for
    $190 shipped [$95 ea]
    i asked Th3KrawL3R to ship first as he had only 3 HEAT and i had over 100 [HEAT= jlpicard]
    he responded that he had some deals that were fine and will i do 2/3 up front and 1/3 after receipt
    i said no how about 1/2 and 1/2
    he said OK
    He said he was going to ship fed ex or UPS
    iasked if he can ship USPS because if im not home i can go to PO and pickit up as the PO is rite down the street
    He said thats fine
    i got the box with the drive and controller inside
    it was packed very well
    im a great packer and i would have done it like this
    i had no probs with the pack job
    i opened up the box took out the drive [wrapped in foam] in a cardboard divider [size of drive] under cardboard was a piece of foam and another piece with a cutout the shape of controller
    i opened the static bag and took out the card and a small piece [metal capacitor?]
    fell out
    i emailed Th3KrawL3R and got no reply
    then emailed again with no reply
    after a week a figured he was away and will get back to me
    today he got back to me
    we talked and i said i should not be responsible for this
    he said i should be because i did not ask for insurance
    i think with this much money insurance is the responsibility of the shipper
    as that is the was i always do buisness

    resolution as of today 8/9
    Just got off the phone with seller
    he will not budge
    he wants me to get it fixed
    i said no
    then he wanted to give me a discount
    i said no
    im sending it back COD and leaving a neutral HEAT eval
