Bought 15 anti-static bags from Ryan.

salvador was the Buyer on February 16, 2002 AnandTech

One word describes Ryan: Exceptional! Ryan contacted me after posting a question on the OT forums about finding a place that sells anti static bags. Ryan came up with an excellent price shipped and let me purchase any quanitity that I wanted for the same price. I paid with PayPal and since it was such a small amount of money, I decided to throw in some extra money (.30?ó) to help cover PayPal fees. Well.. Ryan refused and sent me a .34?ó stamp back with the bags. He said that the PayPal fees were just part of doing business.

Now.. This was hardly a purchase that will break the bank, but I just wanted to let you know what kind of guy I was dealing with here. Ryan contacted me to help me out, provided me with whatever I needed and a fantastic price. Not to mention that shipping was fast and his communication is excellent! I would not hesitate in a second to deal with Ryan again.

Thanks so much!! You really halped me out!

I purchased two psu\'s, a 20gb hdd and a NIC from Patrick.

Patrick is a fantastic trader! Everything is great! Packaged very well, shipped fast. Great communication. Patrick even sprung for Priority Mail, which was a pleasant surprise.

Sold Jeff a new Linksys WAP11 Wireless Access Point.

salvador was the Seller on October 4, 2002 AnandTech

I've really painted myself in a corner with my positive evaluations. I'm serious though. Every trade with ATer's gets better and better each time.

Bottom line is that Jeff is one first class guy and I wouldn't hesistate a nanosecond to recommend him to anyone. Fast pay, outstanding communication, very friendly. It can't possibly get any better than this. Thanks Jeff! Enjoy the WAP.

I purchased a used Thermalright SLK800 socket A heatsink from Yuuki.

Thanks so much!

Purchased a stick of PC133 128 mb RAM and a WiFi card from Aaron.

What an awesome seller!! Truly fantastic in every way! Terrific deal, awesome communication, fast and very secure delivery, professional and very friendly. The complete package! Wouldn't hesitate a second to buy from again.

Purchased a used, but in excellent condition Ultra 500W UV PSU from Geoff.

salvador was the Buyer on August 29, 2007 AnandTech

Geoff is a fantastic trader! Very patient. Very easy to deal with. Great price and great product! Great communication throughout the transaction. Packaged beautifully in a big, heavyweight box with a lot of packing material. It would definitely pass the \"getting run over by the mail truck\" test and survive with flying colors. Fast and secure shipping.

What more can I say. I would definitely recommend dealing with Geoff to anyone and would love to deal with him again in the future.

Thanks!

I sold Larry and new and sealed BFG Technologies GF4 Ti4600 video card.

salvador was the Seller on January 30, 2004 AnandTech

Wow! This has got to be a record for the fastest transaction. I put the video card up for sale yesterday and before I could refresh the Anandtech FS/FT forum page, I already had a private message from Larry. We closed the deal in minutes, traded information, I sent the card, he sent the money order and we both received everything today. I don\'t even think that this deal even took 24 hours and it involved a money order, not PayPal.

I can\'t say enough good things about Larry. Very friendly guy and a pleasure to talk to. I\'d say that this has to be the best transaction yet in every way and I\'ve had some great transactions dealing on Anandtech BBS.

Heatware is an awesome tool as well. I just wish that there was an option for \"very positive\" instead of just positive. Larry deserves it.

Thanks Larry and enjoy!

Bought a ATI 128 Rage Pro PCI card from Carl.

salvador was the Buyer on July 9, 2002 AnandTech

One word to describe Carl. Outstanding!!

Shipped first. Shipped fast and packaged very well. He even did me a big favor by selling me this card to help me out.

I'm running out of nice words to say about the traders on Anandtech. Just when I think that it can't get any better, it does. Carl is first rate and this is my best transaction to date. That's saying something considering the quality of people that I've had the pleasure of dealing with so far on Anandtech.

If you have the chance to deal with Carl, please do. You won't regret it.

Bought a Diamond Monster MX300 soundcard from NeoV.

salvador was the Buyer on August 25, 2001 AnandTech

Excellent! This guy is an old pro at this. Wouldn't think twice about dealing with him again. The smoothest transaction yet. BTW.. The card is great! Much better than the SB's I had been using in the past. Thanks NeoV!

I purchased a pair of used Kingston HyperX 512MB PC3700 DDR 466MHz DIMM\'s from hematic.

salvador was the Buyer on September 16, 2007 ArsTechnica

I\'m honored to be hematic\'s first Heatware eval. :D

Great trader! Since he didn\'t have any Heatware evals as of our trade, he agreed to ship first without hesitation.

Fantastic and very friendly communication throughout the transaction. Fast and secure shipping. Great product at a great price!

I wouldn\'t hesitate for a second to recommend hematic as a trader. I hope to deal with him again in the future.

Thanks!

I purchased an OEM socket 754 A64 3200+ cpu from Richard.

salvador was the Buyer on August 3, 2007 AnandTech

This guy is insanely good! Ultra FAST shipping! I received it in one mail day. He shipped it Saturday via Priority Mail with insurance and Delivery Confirmation from Texas and I got it Monday in Chicago. The packaging was incredible. If the mail truck would\'ve run this package over, it would\'ve gotten a flat tire or a bent rim. Seriously!

Once I got the package open, the CPU was flawless. I can\'t believe that it was even tested because it looked completely untouched by thermal compound.

On top of all of this, Richard is super friendly and extremely prompt with his messages.

Another thing that I loved was that Richard left me heatware after I payed. Most traders wait until I\'ve left them heatware even if I\'m the buyer.

I keep thinking that the trading can\'t get any better, but Richard has certainly raised the bar even higher than I thought it could go.

Thanks Richard!

I purchased a used motherboard, CPU, RAM and graphics card package from Scott.

salvador was the Buyer on August 2, 2007 AnandTech

What can I say about this guy? Just incredible! Super fast shipping, beautiful packaging, perfect product at a great price and just fantastic communication throughout the entire transaction.

The very best thing about this transaction was Scott\'s very friendly customer support. I\'m a novice at best when it comes to overclocking and Scott was nice enough to take the time to walk me through oc the system. Which is running rock solid btw. Just as he said it did. I didn\'t expect the added customer support and it was a great surprise. Especially since his mother was having major surgery at the time. I just can\'t say any more about how great this guy is. I don\'t know.. He might be Superman. :D

I would not hesitant for a second to recommend dealing with Scott. He is first class all the way!

Thank you so much again!

I purchased a new OEM s754 A64 3200+ CPU from Jim.

salvador was the Buyer on July 14, 2007 ArsTechnica

Jim is the archetype of how trading should be done.

This was a perfect transaction. He answered my WTB thread with exactly what I was looking for at the right price. Everything else was smooth as silk. Very professional!

I couldn\'t have asked for anything more.

Thanks Jim!

I purchased a system pull 40 gb Hitachi Travelstar laptop hard drive from Dzung.

It happened again. My transactions keep getting better. Fantastic communication, excellent packaging, prompt shipping, excellent product. It just can't get better than this. Can it? Thanks Scott!

I purchased a used socket A Athlon XP1800+ from Garret.

I would definitely deal with Garret again.

Excellent trader! Roger is one of the original Troll Hunters. Need I say more? Would deal with again. Definitely recommended!

Bought a factory sealed set of Labtec speakers from y00yCDz.

salvador was the Buyer on August 12, 2001 AnandTech

y00yCDz is just awesome! Excellent communication, fast delivery, excellent packaging, very flexible person to deal with. He went out of his way to ship the package the way that I wanted it shipped. What more could you ask for? I just hope all my dealings are as good as this one.

Bought "special order" Panaflo low profile fan.

salvador was the Buyer on July 13, 2001 AnandTech

Gizzo is a great guy to deal with. Not only was he a pleasure to deal with, he also went out of his way to special order a hard to find fan for me. He also gives out excellent advice and support. Thanks Gizzo!

bought a used (but in great condition) SB16 Ensonic sound card from Jim.

salvador was the Buyer on March 14, 2002 AnandTech

Purchased a used Abit KT7A Motherboard from Brian.

I purchased a two socket 754 nForce3 motherboards from Kenny. One brand spanking new Gigabyte board and a used, but in excellent condition MSI board.

salvador was the Buyer on August 9, 2007 AnandTech

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Kenny is a great trader! Great communication throughout the entire transaction. Super fast shipping and very careful packaging. Both motherboards are excellent and better than what I expected. My standards are high too.

Kenny even went out of his way and made a special trip home to try and track down some additional accessories for me (that weren\'t listed in the sale).

I\'ve dealt with some great traders on Anandtech and Kenny is certainly one of the best. I wouldn\'t hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone.

Since Kenny doesn\'t have a lot of trades as of yet, you can contact me personally (Salvador at Anandtech or Ars Technica) as a reference if you have any reservations at all about dealing with him.

Thanks again Kenny!

Purchased a used, but in excellent condition, MSI M7VIG Pro Motherboard from Robert.

salvador was the Buyer on December 23, 2004 AnandTech

Robert is a first rate guy to deal with! Excellent communication! Excellent knowledge! Fantastic packaging! Super FAST delivery! Very professional! He even included updated drivers and utilities on a disc. His Heat says it all!

Very positive experience. Would be more than happy to deal with again in the future.

Thanks again Robert!
