I bought Motorcross Madness 2 from him for cheap.

amb3cog was the Buyer on July 25, 2000 AGN

Another great trader to deal with. He sent me someone else's CPU, and them my game by accident (we lived in the same state). An honest mistake on his part, and he promptly made up for it, by sending us money via Paypal to swap our stuff through the mail. Nice guy, good prices. What more do ya want?

I bought a Memorex 2x2x6x burner for a ridiculously low price.

amb3cog was the Buyer on July 15, 2000 AnandTech

Great guy. I sent him Paypal, and he sent it right out. He wasn't able to test it out, but was willing to take it back if there was a problem. There was not. Drive works great. No speed demon, but no coasters either. :) Would trade with again.

I bought a PB remote for a computer (Winamp, etc), along with the software for it.

This is my second deal with sun. First was for a bunch of stickers, and he threw in a few extra. This deal was even smoother then the first. Since we had dealt before he waived the $2 for the software, and he also threw in a few more stickers (my friends love these), AND some breath mints too (they'll kick your arse too BTW). Now that's a great trader there folks. ;) What I want to know now is

Bought a PIII 650E FC-PGA, an Iwill slocket, a Golden Orb, and an Asus P3B-F.

amb3cog was the Buyer on April 10, 2001 AnandTech

We agreed to do half Paypal when sent, and half after I get it. We made the deal in the wee hours of the morning, and he had it sent before noon. Everything arrived as described (maybe better actually), and was exteremely well packed. Very nice guy to deal with IMO. He went out of his way to offer up all his info, ship a.s.a.p., and even threw in a few applications of Artic Silver for it. He was also very patient when I couldn't pay till Monday, since I missed the bank on Friday, even though I offered to go Saturday morning for him. Overall a laid back, and trustworthy trader. My kinda guy to deal with. A+++++++++

I bought an Athlon 500 from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on June 30, 2000 AnandTech

I sent him the cash via Paypal, and he shipped it out within 24 hours. The CPU works mint, and helped me figure out that my other one was the cause of the problems with my system. I would definitely deal with him again. A+++

Bought a Radeon VE from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on March 9, 2001 AnandTech

Great guy to deal with. Since he was new. I asked that he ship first, and he jumped at the chance. Definitely a guy that wants to do some honest trades IMO. He was extremely easy to get in touch with, shipped it out right away, and it came brand new in the box like he said it was. He packed it perfectly, and it arrived in mint shape too. Great card also (I'm on it right now). Thanks again man. :) A+++++++

I got a DVD from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on February 3, 2000 AnandTech

It took a while to get this payed for, because I wanted to use Paypal and he had not signed up yet. My refferal link didn't want to work for some reason, but we finally figured it out. He was extremely patient throughout. I recieved the DVD a couple of days after he sent it. It was brand new. Still sealed even. Whatever was easy to deal with in his emails, and the deal went flawlessly. I am happy with that, and I am sure you will be too. A very good trader indeed.

I bought Taxi Driver on DVD.

amb3cog was the Buyer on December 29, 2000 AnandTech

Nice quick deal, nice guy, DVD was in nice shape. Isn't that nice? Seriously. croton is a good guy to deal with, and I would definitely trade with him again.

Bought two 92mm Antec fans from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on March 23, 2001 AnandTech

Nice easy deal. Fans arrived in mint shape. They were still in tha packaging, and one wasn't even open. For what I paid. I expected used fans. These fans are great, and I'm happy. Thanks again man. :)

I sold Greg a Celery 466, slocket, and heatsink/fan combo.

amb3cog was the Seller on March 6, 2000 AGN

It all went very smooth. We cross shipped, and both recieved our stuff in a timely fashion. Greg is an excellent guy to deal with. At no time did I ever worry about recieving the payment. Very quick with the emails, very patient, and understanding. An overall great trader. I highly recommend doing a deal with this guy. You will not be dissapointed. A++++++++++

Bought a 300 watt CompUSA power supply from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on February 14, 2000 AGN

This was one of those "I'm getting a new one in a week or so, and my old one will be available then" deals. I told him of my interest, and that I don't mind waiting. He kept me informed throughout. I sent the MO ahead of time. PS arrived in almost new condition. Cool J is a darn good trader. I would deal with him again.

I sold him a bunch of car stereo stuff.

amb3cog was the Seller on March 7, 2000 AGN

He sent me a money order the same day I shipped. The package was very heavy (40 + pounds), So I sent it regular mail. It took almost 2 weeks to get to him. He never complained once, and was extremely patient throughout the whole thing. He never even asked me where it was. I had to ask him. He is a great person to deal with. I highly recommend this trader, and I look forward to dealing with him again. A+++++++++

I bought a PCI V.90 modem from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on July 20, 2000 AnandTech

Great guy. Well packed. Looks in mint shape (haven't tried it yet). Prompt shipping. Would I trade with him again? In a heartbeat. Should you? Heck yea. :)

I got a 17 inch Mitsubishi monitor from Hex for $180, and a 64Mb stick of PC100

amb3cog was the Buyer on February 12, 2000 AGN

Hex is very easy to work with. He went out of his way to make it all work well. The original deal was for $170, but that was if it was shipped by UPS. I wanted it done USPS priority. He checked with them, and found out it was about $10 more. He also found out that it would be $10 less for parcel post. He offered me a choice of paying $10 more, or $10 less. Which I thought was very cool, although I chose more. After he got back from the PO. He informed me that the guy on the phone had mislead him, and that it cost about $20 more. Hex did not want any extra money though. Again I thought this was very cool. Hex is extremely honest, and we did this deal extremely quick. I am very happy with the monitor. The thing is brand frikkin new, and Hex is a great trader.

I sold David a car CD player.

amb3cog was the Seller on May 15, 2000 AGN

David needed the player quickly, but couldn't send the cash for a few days. He seemed like a good guy. So I sent it out right away for him. I was not dissapointed. David came through very quickly for me. I would dive head first right into another trade with him. An extremely worthy trader. A++++++++

I bought a DC game from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on January 1, 2001 AnandTech

I sent him Paypal, and he sent the game the next day. It was a new/sealed game, and since it was packed well, arrived in perfect shape. Nice quick deal, good trader. Would trade with again. :)

Sold him 2 DVD's.

amb3cog was the Seller on July 23, 2000 AGN

Great guy. Sent the MO on time. Very nice to deal with in emails. I would trade with again anytime. A+++++++++++

Bought 40 of his really nice brass thumb screws for cheap.

amb3cog was the Buyer on January 19, 2001 AnandTech

Great trader IMO. He managed to put together a HUGE order of thumb screws to sell to his fellow BBS'ers at a cheap rate, and did it very profesionally IMO. Highly recommended. :) Thanks again man.

I bought a RDJD Athlon heatsink/fan combo for a measly $9

amb3cog was the Buyer on July 5, 2000 AGN

Cool J rocks. This was our second trade, and I hope there's more to come. I pulled up an old post at like 4 in the morning, and sent him an email asking if it was available. I also asked that if it was, could he ship it that day. He agreed, and since we had already dealt before, didn't have a problem cross shipping. Cool J always has good prices, and quality stuff. A++++++

I sold him a 4 port hub.

amb3cog was the Seller on July 23, 2000 AnandTech

Great guy to deal with. Sent Paypal right away. Not much to add here folks. This guy is a great trader, and we all know it. A++++++++++++

I traded my Viper II and some $$$ for a Step Thermodynamics modified Athlon 650@750.

Cross-traded on March 30, 2000 AGN

Well this was actually the second time we talked about doing a deal for this chip. We finally got it together after Scooter had to put up with my many questions, and my petty haggleing over $10. Scooter is very patient, helpful, and best of all an honest guy. There is no way in hell you can go wrong trading with him. A great trader indeed.
Thanks again Scooter.

I bought NBA2K, and WWF Attitude for Dreamcast from Tony.

amb3cog was the Buyer on December 30, 2000 AnandTech

Great guy to deal with. Games were in mint shape, and packed well. Very reasonable price too. Would deal with again. A++++++++

I bought one of his sweet arse SCSI cards.

amb3cog was the Buyer on September 21, 2000 AnandTech

This guy is great. I love a trader with a sense of honor, and a sense of humor. He wanted Paypal, but was nice enough to let me send a MO instead.
For anyone thinking of buying one of these cards (Adaptec 19160). Don't think twice. What a nice setup they give ya. All the cables, software, etc. you will need to run your 160 HD, AND your less speedy stuff like cd-roms, cd-rw's etc. I am really impressed with all the manuals they provide too. Plus Lore gave it to me for about $75 less then retail. And yes it was still sealed, and comes with a 5 year warranty. What a deal. I'm very happy with this trade, and hope there are more to come, as Lore is truly a great trader. A ++++++++

Bought Taxi river on DVD.

amb3cog was the Buyer on December 29, 2000 AnandTech

You talkin to me? Eh? You talkin to me punk? I said! You talkin to me? That's right you better trade w/ croton, or you'll get yours. You hear me? Are you deaf or somethin? Just trade with him, and no one gets hurt!!!

I bought 10 DVDs from him.

amb3cog was the Buyer on March 20, 2000 AGN

I paypalled him the money. He shipped the next day. Two days later I had the DVDs in my hand, and they were MINT!!! That folks, is how a deal is supposed to go. Professional all the way.
If every deal went this way. You wouldn't be here checking references on Linkup, or anyone else for that matter.
So go make that deal. You'll be glad you did. :)
