e6300 retail boxed CPU -- supposedly!

karaktu was the Buyer on November 28, 2006 AnandTech

Item has never shown up. No contact from Seller at all since payment was sent. Anandtech Moderator sent message, I have emailed two addresses and filed dispute, then claim with Paypal. All have had no response nearly 2 weeks after payment. :(

I hope everything is ok with this trader as he has been around AT for a long time, but I feel I have to warn any potential Buyers that, so far, it appears I have been Trolled. :(

Sent him a Dell d620 laptop in exchange for an HDTV and Sony sound setup that I was supposed to get in person 8/2/08.

Pabster/Curtis and I have had an absolutely stellar trading relationship. I do not know what has happened to him, but he has totally disappeared and not been on Anandtech since 7/25 or HF since 7/28. All communication has ceased and my phone messages have gone unanswered. I hope he is ok, but until I hear from him again, this deal has definitely gone south. :(

HP 17\" with additional free 320GB 2.5\" drive

karaktu was the Buyer on March 17, 2009 AnandTech

Communication was very good prior to the sale. Laptop was shipped FedEx Express Saver after he took an extra day or two to ship. It came packaged well and in good working order, restored to the factory settings. HOWEVER, he had offered and also posted in his FS thread on [H] that he was including an additional 320GB 5400rpm 2.5\" hard drive, but it was missing from the package. After PMing him on AT and waiting a few days, he did respond saying he would send it, but that was already two weeks ago and I have not received the drive.

I will be happy to change this rating to a Positive once the deal is finished as promised, but until then, I recommend you get your item(s) before paying this trader.

8600GTS and cheap digital camera

karaktu was the Buyer on January 20, 2009 AnandTech

Everything arrived in good condition and the video card worked fine. However, the camera was missing the correct, unique USB cable required for battery charging and removing pictures from the camera, which basically makes it useless. Seller acknowleged that it was missing, but has not responded to any messages since that time. Once this issue is resolved, I\'d be happy to have the eval changed to a positive.
