Review for user cbjzarace from marmasatt

    Geez, I haven\'t done this in 10 yrs of trading but this really ticked me off. Funny thing is, he doesn\'t seem like a bad guy, just kind of a kid who made a few bad choices. He posted an item. We agreed on a price. I then paid him. He says he\'ll ship. And then heeven provides me a tracking number that the item has shipped.

    marmasatt was the Seller on December 29, 2009 AnandTech

    Later in the day Zach emails me and tells me the laptop is having problems. And that it specifically had like hardware issues (bad Hard drive). I got it at a pretty fair price, so I tell him, I\'ll take it anyway and just eat the cost of another Hard drive for $50. Now he still won\'t ship it? Why is that then? Either poor planning and putting something up for sale prematurely, or he got cold feet and decided otherwise (or sold it to someone else for all I know). I cannot recommend this guy. I\'m pretty darned ticked. I stopped looking for a lappy after we had a deal, and even bought a new battery for this model after we had a deal. And he still won\'t sell it to me...Now I have to return or sell this battery and continue to spend another month looking for a laptop..Proceed w/ caution.

    Response from cbjzarace
    I simply didn\'t feel comfortable selling a laptop that no longer fit the description of the sale; I decided I would rather keep a newly-broken laptop. Circumstances had changed, and I thought it within my rights to cancel the sale. The buyer was promptly and fully refunded--there was no deceit and no \"backdoor deals.\" I feel the buyer overreacted somewhat, considering the situation and the ultimate outcome.
