Review for user gr8snakee from Big Lar

  I responded to his thread for an OEM Windows XP

  Big Lar was the Seller on January 1, 2002 AnandTech

  After some discussion via PM's, we decided to make the deal, My Money Order for $130.00,( his asking price), for the OEM XP. I sent the Money Order via USPS Priority mail, and He, after Recieving my MO, ( which we did in fact state that he would send the item out on Monday, me sending out on Saturday, as he worked Saturday, tho this was in fact set up as a Cross Trade).Anyhow, he sent out on Tuesday after recieving the MO, stating that the "lines" were too long on Monday, which was OK. Problem began when I opened the Box, and saw that this was in fact an NFR CD of XP, not the OEM that he in fact stated he was sending. After contacting him with an admitted amount of over zealousness on my behalf, he stated amongst other things, that he did have an oem, and there was no difference. Well, to me there IS a difference from NFR and OEM, and to top it off, it even States in the Anandtech Forum Rules, that there is to be No NFR to be sold on the forum. Also, the arrogance of this person, to outright challenge me on the issue is just sad, as I was Not in the wrong. He did However send me a MO for $134.00, his selected amount for a refund, via Snail mail mind you, and I have sent the CD back to him via Priority Mail with DC, and Insurance. I got a very uneasy feeling during the whole mess with him, and am thus leaving a neutural for this person, Perhaps he should read the Forum Rules.
