Review for user M3T4LH34D from the FooL

  • the FooL (41)

    Bought an MSI R6970. Payment was sent via M.O. in his girlfriends name.

    the FooL was the Seller on September 25, 2011 AnandTech

    I did receive the item and it is in working order, but I am marking this as neutral due to the following:

    1. M.O. arrived two days after deal was made, but it took two weeks after that for seller to ship.

    2. Packaging was (to me) marginally adequate. It was in anti-static with original foam container (not in original box) with a lot of packaging paper to minimize movement.

    3. It was stated that item would come with box, manual, and accessories, but all I received was the card.
    I had to buy my own power adapter, since I could not way for it to be shipped to me (see #2).

    4. Seller was not proactive in keeping me informed with the shipping status (except for when it actually shipped). I always had to ask if the item was shipped yet on each day it was supposed to be. (Multiple "it will ship by this day" follow-ups). Seller did always respond however.

    Seller has stated he will send me the missing accessories (having no power adapter was the worst), but it should not have come to this.
    Unless otherwise specified, item should have already been in a shippable state.

    Everyone has a bad day and he might have just had a couple of bad weeks.
    I would most likely buy from this seller again, but would definitely confirm that the item is ready to ship.
    If the accessories and manual arrive, I will change it to a positive rating, since I would have ultimately gotten what was agreed upon.
