  • Bought Outlaws game on CD-ROM.

    astar617 was the Buyer on October 26, 2002 AnandTech

    I sent him money via PayPal, took him a few days longer than I had hoped/expected to ship but he didn't have bad intentions. All in all, a trouble-free purchase. Would deal with him in the future.

  • Bought an HP JetDirect card from him.

    astar617 was the Buyer on January 14, 2005 AnandTech

    Wow. Easily the best online transaction I've ever completed, hands down. Not only did he knock money off the already-fair price because the model wasn't the exact one I inquired about, but he then OVERNIGHTS it to me via Airborne! Well packed and 100% functional item, great communication throughout. I'll now be looking for his FS/FT threads even if I'm not in the market for anything :)

    Thanks very much, Glendor... you raise the bar for online traders!

  • Bought a Sun Blade 2000 workstation, 21\" Sun Trinitron monitor, and extra UPA framebuffer from him.

    astar617 was the Buyer on April 20, 2007 2CPU

    Payed via PayPal, picked up at his home. One of my favorite traders to do business with, hands down. Always pleasant, even when I\'m interrupting his brunch to seal a deal :) Thanks as always.

  • Bought a black CDRW/DVD combo drive from him.

    astar617 was the Buyer on July 19, 2005 AnandTech

    I asked him to make an exception on the method of payment, and he accepted this alternate method. Communication was fast and courteous throughout. Not only that, but he actually cross-shipped the item without my asking, and even threw in a copy of Nero when the drive was listed as bare. Item was well packed and arrived as described.

    He's a fantastic trader who I'd look forward to dealing with anytime! Thanks very much.

  • Got a Sun Ultra 5 workstation and Mac video card from him via the \"freebie thread\".

    Cross-traded on April 22, 2007 AnandTech

    A pleasure as always to deal with. One of these days I need to come up to the Mountain and meet you in person, instead of sending stuff back and forth through Tee! :-)

  • Bought an ATI Radeon 9100 PCI (64mb) from him.

    astar617 was the Buyer on June 16, 2005 AnandTech

    Good communication, card was as described... and he actually drove the card to my home (a much further distance than I would have ever asked him to go given the value of the card / cost of gas vs postage). Would definitely deal with him again, even if he knows better than to offer door-to-door service this time around :) Thanks

  • Bought a Microsoft Sidewinder USB Gamepad from him.

    astar617 was the Buyer on July 5, 2005 AnandTech

    I prepaid via PayPal. Good communication and fast shipment. Item arrived as described, and very well packed. Even provided an unexpected partial cash refund with the package because he could not find the manual. Would deal with him again in a heartbeat. Thanks!

  • Bought a generic 5-port switch from him.

    astar617 was the Buyer on June 26, 2005 AnandTech

    Good communication, price was right. Item exactly as described and on time. Plus the guy apparently has a Bimmer, so he can't be that bad :) Thanks Sheldon.

  • Received a DVI-HD15 adapter from him via the \"freebie\" thread at AnandTech.

    astar617 was the Buyer on February 14, 2005 AnandTech

    Prepaid via non-CC PayPal, shipped very quickly and with excellent packaging. Consistent friendly communication throughout. A pleasure to trade with, would not hesitate to do so again. Thanks!

  • Sold him several Phobos P430TX QFE cards.

    astar617 was the Seller on January 25, 2006 AnandTech

    He prepaid via PayPal. I shipped to a US address to facilitate his own forwarding to Canada. It did take longer than expected to complete from beginning to end, but he did a good job of trying to keep me updated on the status despite his limited online availability at times during the deal. However, he remained extremely courteous and understanding of my viewpoints throughout--further proof that good communication remains the key to successful trades :) Would certainly deal with him again.

  • Bought 4x256mb PC100 ECC RAM from him on the 2CPU.com forums.

    astar617 was the Buyer on November 23, 2002 Other/Unknown

    Very good communication throughout the transaction. Even shipped first due to lack of references. Originally advertised as CL2 but recognized as CL3, so he discounted the purchase price accordingly. Would not hesitate to deal with again. Thanks!

  • Bought Freelancer PC CD-ROM game from him.

    astar617 was the Buyer on April 1, 2006 AnandTech

    Acted as an intermediary for my non-trader cousin to buy this item, so credit-card paypal came from my cousin and the item was shipped directly to him as well. Timely and courteous communication, and fast shipping w/DC. Overall pleasure to deal with, would not hesitate in the future. Thanks!

  • Bought a Webramp 700s through him (we both were representing others).

    astar617 was the Buyer on November 16, 2003 2CPU

    He responded to my WTB thread, and I payed first via bank check. A mixup on his side delayed shipping, but he shipped via FedEx Overnight as soon as he caught the mistake. Communication remained great the entire time. Would not hesitate to deal with at all in the future--thanks!
