Review for user absoluteloki89 from Kantastic

  • Kantastic (124)

    Bought OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD.

    Kantastic was the Seller on October 16, 2011 AnandTech

    ***AVOID AT ALL COST***

    Saw his ad, PM'd him for details, paid his asking price through PayPal, and confirmed my shipping address. Everything was set and ready to go until he PMs me a few hours later telling me he refunded my money because someone offered him more money. I asked kindly that he keep his word and sell me the drive, but he responds the next day telling me he shipped the drive already and that it would cost him about $12 to redo the transaction, apparently $12 too much. I assume this was a lie, because if he had indeed shipped the drive, there would be no way for him to "redo" any transaction.

    I paid through PayPal via an instant bank transfer, putting my bank into overdraft, and went ahead to secure erase my (then) current SSD since I quickly sold it to a forum friend (at a slight loss) to offset the overdraft charges. Unfortunately now, his refund is being held by PayPal, so I have to waste time and head over to the bank and deposit money or pay the overdraft fee. Unlike him, I'm going through with selling my drive because forum trading is based on trust.

    He's a new seller, but he's also irresponsible, incompetent, and cannot and will not keep his word. I urge traders to stay firmly away from absoluteloki89.
