    BK12321 posted a 5GB laptop harddrive in the freebees thread. He said he needed a small desktop drive, so I sent him a 6.4GB drive

    Cross-traded on August 18, 2005 AnandTech

    We agreed to trade drives straight up, and that we would send out the drives. Communication was good, but once I sent out the harddrive, he was not communicating at all. I had PMed him 3 times and was ignored. He was logging in, but was not replying. I contacted the AT mod, and he sent BK12321 an e-mail, and then communication started up again. He said he was having car troubles, which very well could have been the case.

    He eventually sent out the harddrive, but it was damaged in the mail, because it was not packaged properly. It was sent wrapped in paper-thin foam, and mailed in a padded envelope. Basically there was not enough padding. I contacted BK12321, and he agreed to reimburse me for the cost of shipping of the harddrive I had sent him.

    I do not think that BK12321 is a bad trader by any means. In the end, he DID make good on the transaction. The rating is neutral simply because the transaction had some issues.

    Response from bk12321
    1) I told you why I was not communicating, and it just so happened the admin had pmed me when I pmed you back

    2) The hard drive was probably already dead, I told you my laptop had died, and every other part I sent out was good, so the hard drive was probably bad. The hard drive was packed fine, i've received countless drives like that.

    3) I ended up refunding you for the hard drive, plus you still have the laptop drive, and the only thing I did was not respond for a few days because I was waiting until I shipped the item.
