    Traded my x2 6400+, nforce 570 mobo, Zalman 9500 HSF, and a ati 4870 for his Q6600 and Maximus Formula mobo.

    Everything started out great. received the item and it worked properly. One issue.. He didnt include the I\O Backplate for the motherboard. I messaged him right away and he was prompt to respond saying he would mail it out the following Monday. A month and a half later... still no backplate. Now he just blatantly ignores my messages. He is active daily and even has new FS threads.. Yet he cant respond to my messages. I've even offered to pay postage. I wouldn't be leaving negative feedback if he would have been a little more courteous.

    Also come to find out after doing research, the guy didnt even sell me the board he advertised. He advertised a Formula Maximus and sold me a P5E. How did this work? Well the two boards use the same PCB and the P5E has a sticker over the "Formula Maximus" Logo. So the guy peeled off the logo and flashed the bios to the Maximus bios. So sure it has a lot of the bios features, but most were nonfunctioning and I even purchased all the Maximus accessories and none of them work with it. hmmm.. Nice right?

    **Side note just in case he retaliates. He says i forgot to include the retention clip for the Heatsink i sent him, which i know I included. I offered to send him another clip and\or pay for him to get another one and he said it was okay and he would find one.
