Bought an "Emperor: Battle for Dune" game from Mike.

crypticlogin was the Buyer on June 11, 2002 AnandTech

Good deal, professional and courteous trader. Mike had this game up for a great price so I bit. He offered to let me pay after sending to get an exact shipping cost, and the game arrived in good shape, discs, manual, box, and all. Mike was also great in letting me know, in advance, that the game wasn't going to be shipped immediately due to exams. I had no problems with that so we went ahead with the deal.

Thanks Mike, it was a pleasure dealing with you.

Jim sold me a K6-2+/450 CPU

crypticlogin was the Buyer on October 13, 2001 AnandTech

Jim was willing to crosstrade the CPU for my money order. And on top of that, the chip arrived *VERY* quickly and in great packaging. Folks, you're dealing with a primo trader here.. Jim, you rock!

Traded Lou an SBLive 5.1 and a few bucks for an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 AGP card.

Cross-traded on May 1, 2002 AnandTech

Good deal and smooth trade. One of the cables got left out of the original package, but Lou got it out the next day. No problem here, thanks Lou.

Bought a Dreamcast bundle from Anik. It included: a console, controller, Mad Catz controller, Crazy Taxi, Dead or Alive 2, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online v1, VMU, Rumble Pack Plus, Hais VGA box, s-video cable.

crypticlogin was the Buyer on January 2, 2002 AnandTech

Overall a good deal. Anik was willing to shipping first because lack of heatware, and the bundle was received fairly well packed and in a sizable box with my money order sent shortly after. Almost everything was as described and warned me about a crack in one of the cases. He usually responded to my PMs within a day. The only problem was the original AV cable (with composite video and RCA audio) was missing from the package. We talked it out and worked out a few bucks back if I bought one myself but before that happened, Anik found the cable and said (on 1/16) it would ship on Saturday, 1/19. The following Monday (1/21), he said the cable would ship Tuesday (1/22). After a week of no messages or cable, I asked (1/28) if it was sent yet and Anik responded that he just had exams so it wasn't, but it would ship that Saturday (2/2). A few more days pass and no cable and after asking if it was sent (2/9), he said it was shipped as promised but he did offer to overnight a money order as a partial refund for the cable. I declined -- the cable would've been nice but I can live without it.

The only bad thought I have about the deal is the lack of communication from 1/21 to 1/28. Now I've suffered through exam periods and can understand not having the time to mail something, but it would've been courteous to send a quick note when you were online when you couldn't ship as promised.

In summary, execution was good, communications follow-through could use some work.

Bought Red Alert 2 in Jewel Case from Josh.

crypticlogin was the Buyer on October 6, 2001 AnandTech

Josh is a great guy to deal with -- he sent the game as promised, it arrived in good condition, and the price was very fair. No problems here, and it was a pleasure doing business with Josh!

Sold Bill a 128MB PC700 RIMM and a CRIMM module.

crypticlogin was the Seller on April 1, 2002 AnandTech

Good deal. Bill\'s money order was cross-shipped and was really responsive to my messages. Friendly trader to deal with, and it was a pleasure.

Sold Alan a Fujitsu MHD2032AT laptop hard drive

crypticlogin was the Seller on September 23, 2001 AnandTech

Alan's quick and clear communications, and fast payment helped make this a smooth trade. The deal went without a hitch and was closed within three hours from first PM to shipment! I wouldn't hesitate to trade with Alan in the future.

Sold Sam a P3-1Ghz CPU (OEM).

Bought a Netgear FA310 NIC and a Shenmue 2 Dreamcast game from Curtis.

crypticlogin was the Buyer on January 20, 2002 AnandTech

Excellent deal. Curtis was quick to ship the items, both well packed and arrived in great shape, and is a really friendly guy to deal with. He was always quick to reply to my messages (it seems like seconds go by after I send before I have his reply!) so communication was excellent. Here's an excellent trader who shouldn't go unnoticed! Thanks Curtis!

Bought a Gundam: Side Story 0079 Dreamcast game from Stew

crypticlogin was the Buyer on February 2, 2002 AnandTech

Good deal. The game arrived promptly and safely in a padded mailer, and the case & disc were in good condition. Thanks Stew!

Bought a 512MB Crucial PC2700 DDR DIMM from Cliff.

crypticlogin was the Buyer on April 23, 2003 AnandTech

This is my third trade with Cliff and again, I'm coming away feeling no less than completely satisfied. Cliff was trusting enough to send the RAM and forward me the confirmation number hours after I sent my Paypal eCheck payment, which would take a few days to fully clear. I got the RAM two days later, perfectly packed and in wonderful condition. No troubles here, and Cliff, it was a pleasure dealing with you again. Thank you!

Bought a few DVDs from Nick.

crypticlogin was the Buyer on November 2, 2001 AnandTech

Great deal. Nick was selling off a bunch of DVDs and I got in on some. Packaging was excellent, shipping was prompt, and considering the barrage of messages he got during the first hour, was pretty efficient in keeping his list updated. Thanks Nick!
