Purchased an old Intel i5-3570 computer combo

brinstar117 was the Buyer on July 5, 2017 HardForum

Bought the following:

Intel i5 3570, Antec Kuhler 620 w/ noctua fans, G.Skill red ripjaws 16GB DDR3-1600, ASRock Z77 Extreme4, Crucial BX200 240GB SSD, and an orange Corsair 230T ATX case.

The computer was packed in the original case retail box with all the components installed in the case. Everything arrived physically intact. However, the motherboard onboard sound was dead. Alex never noticed that issue as he only used a USB DAC. He offered a number options to make up for the defect without me even needing to ask. In the end I opted for a refund on the motherboard which was done promptly. Overall I was very happy with Alex's quick and courteous responses. I would not hesitate to trade with him again.

I purchased a sealed retail box i7-6700K from zmhaha.

brinstar117 was the Buyer on July 12, 2016 HardForum

Communication was good throughout. zmhaha was polite and quick to respond. I originally paid for his used i7-6700k, but due to time constraints he sent his brand new one instead at no additional charge.

The CPU arrived in a timely manner but was shipped in a padded bag instead of a box. The retail box was slightly squished during transit but the contents were fine. Overall I am pleased with my purchase as it was a very nice deal. Thanks zmhaha!

Laptop was as described. Overall Nick was communicative about the condition of the laptop especially scrutinizing it for screen defects.

I would have liked to have had the tracking info. Nick did not ship out until 6 days after payment which is a bit later than I would have liked but understandable given the time of year. A heads up would have been nice. Overall I am pleased with the transaction and would deal with Nick again.
