    I bought a joystick from this trader but Caveat Emptor (see below)

    edtrip was the Seller on September 7, 2004 AnandTech

    On Aug 14 I paypal'ed this guy 25.00. He said it'd be a couple days - he was moving - I said fine I'll be out of town for a week or so anyway. I returned on the 26th with no sign of the joystick. I contacted him to ask if it was on its way? He said no, sorry been real busy, but it will be right away and I'll send you a tracking #. 1 week later 9/3/04 and I've heard NOTHING from him and still no joystick. I contact him and now I am getting fed up. He tells me it "shipped awhile ago" but still provides no proof. Tells me he'll check with UPS and LMK.

    After I write AGAIN he says "what are you getting upset about, UPS has it you'll get it when they deliver it" but provides no tracking number. I tell him I've had it, I contact the mods and threaten to list him as a troll. I hear no more from him until 9/8/04 when he says he shipped it the beginning of last week. That same day UPS delivers the joystick. The tracking number confirms that he shipped the item only on Friday 9/3/04.

    All this guy ever had to do was be straight with me. I was never in a hurry. I just wanted to know the status and he couldn't even do that. I'll never deal with him again but I'm going to give him a neutral rating because I'm a fair man and i did finally get the item in good condition.

    Response from Derwen_Artos12
    He bought the joystick knowing exactly what I was going through at that time and with the disclaimer in my thread that shipment was more than likely to be delayed. He then got upset about it taking not quite three weeks for me to ship it. I had no tracking number as I had lost the recipt that had it and I apologized profucely for not being able to provide him one.
