    dietrich-h was the Seller on October 7, 2006 RedFlagDeals

    Quick summary of transaction
    ----------------------------
    1. 4x 120gb Hard drives purchased September 21, 2006.

    2. Sempteber 22nd 2006. System built with one IDE drive, works perfectly.

    3. October 4th 2006.
    Tried to build system with remaining IDE drive. Drive does not work, makes clicking sound and is not recognized in BIOS or POST.

    Tried remaining SATA drive, not recognized in BIOS or POST.

    4. October 5th, 2006.
    E-mailed DarthVR6 about defective drives. He says he gives no warranty and that drives were all working when he sold them to me.


    There is no warranty left from manufacturer, and this guy refuses to replace them or offer a refund.

    I contacted him about the defective drives 13 days later in e-mail. He responds two days later saying that drives were fully working, and that he will not offer a refund because it has been so long.

    Well, I don\'t care how long its been. If the drives don\'t work, they don\'t work, bottom line.

    This guy has taken my money, paid in good faith for working hard drives.

    He seemed like a nice guy at first, but I would never deal with him again.

    This is a warning to all RFD community/ craigslist, online community.

    I didn\'t plug in the drives until two days ago.
    They don\'t even boot, they are not even recognized and don\'t show up.

    If you cannot refund my money you are very unreasonable, and I will be leaving negative heatware.

    You are basically a thief then.

    The drives are totally useless. They were sitting at my place until they were ready to use, I plugged them in, and they don\'t work. They don\'t show up in the bios at all.

    One of them makes a constant clicking sound all the time, it was clearly not good to begin with.

    This is what he replies:

    Dietrich, I am far from a thief. I have had NO issues with anyone ever, and now suddenly you appear. I am not FUTURE SHOP, I do not offer any fucking warranty. I CLEARLY advised you to check the drives and if there is any issues, LET ME KNOW and that Id return your money. You can NOT expect ANYONE reasonable to accept your story that suddenly its not fucking working after 3 weeks, 2 weeks or what ever. I have NO idea what the drives have been through since you purchased them or what was done to them. I accept no responsibility. You want to be an ass and leave negative heatware, I\'ll do the same. You try out the drives after \'13\' days and then expect me to refund your money cuz you claim they\'re defective? Try leaving me negative heatware on that, you\'re the one who\'ll look stupid with my remarks in return. You weren\'t even POLITE about the entire situation! Again, the DRIVES WERE working when sold to you, what has happened since is NOT my responsibility - it is yours. Any smart person who buys something tests it immediately. You on the other hand wait \'13\' days and then call me a thief and put the blame on me, you\'re freakin brilliant.

    Response from DarthVR6
    Clearly this is an unfair eval. If you read below, he already posted a positive feedback on behalf of the sale. Now suddenly 13 days later he claims he only tested the drives now and expects me to refund as they are defective? I sold him working drives and offered him a 3 day warranty. Had any issue ocurred within those 3 days I would gladly have refunded his money. Before considering this eval against any item I have for sale, please read my remaining evals and this thread:

    This user has attempted to tarnish another persons eval as well, please see feedback left for him by iceman2g.
