I bought a BNIB i5-9400F CPU using Paypal

ChefJoe was the Buyer on June 3, 2019 HardForum

Cook_1 was very willing to take an additional photo I asked for, responded promptly, and sent the CPU packaged with even more overpadding than I'd expected. The box arrived in great shape with the factory seal still present. Would have no qualms about trading with them again.

Bought 4 sticks of memory, shipped promptly, excellent communication, works as described.

Would buy from again, this guy knows his stuff and is very accommodating.

Bought SBLive! Value, came USPS, successful trade.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on May 21, 2002 AnandTech

Great trade (USPS again confirmed to be as slow as ever <G>).

Bought evga 460 model 1370 from Ryan. Both of us in Seattle so easy to do as cash deal and avoid overhead.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on June 4, 2013 HardForum

Card works great for me, Ryan gets to soften the bill on an upgrade. The 460 is still a great GPU.

I sold BigBadBiologist a spare 16gb kit of Mushkin DDR4.

ChefJoe was the Seller on July 21, 2020 HardForum

Communication was straightforward and we had the sale figured out pretty quick. If anything, I'm a little delayed in leaving feedback for the trade (sorry).

I entered into a 3 way trade with MangoTBG and mroleg with paypal, MO, 512MB of XMS PC3200LL, and 2x256 mb of OCZ? all exchanging hands. We stayed in communication and there wasn't any big hitches. A small delay by Mango was made up for with super-speedy delivery. He's a stand-up trader.

Trade worked well, I'm happy with my ram, would trade with in future.

I entered into a three way trade with mroleg, MangoTBG, and myself involving XMS memory, OCZ memory, and paypal/MO payments. Things went smoothly with payment, good communication, mroleg sent his part out very quickly and with great packing (as I've been told). The rest of the trade also went well.

Would trade with any of these guys again. Things went well and I'm happy with my memory.

Purchased a few case badges.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on June 8, 2002 AnandTech

Easy to do, no hassles, prompt and great communication.

I bought a Borderlands 3 code from Rvenger. Very patient as we figured out how to get the codes redeemed. Worked out fine.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on December 30, 2019 HardForum

I'd certainly buy a gamestore code from Rvenger in the future.

Bought motherboard, works great, good price

ChefJoe was the Buyer on September 4, 2005 AnandTech

Good trader, willing to answer all my (many) questions, promptly shipped and well packed motherboard.

I bought a 9600kf CPU from Cook_1 at HardForum and paid with paypal.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on July 9, 2020 HardForum

Communication with Cook_1 was good. We quickly agreed on a fair price and she sent the chip the next day. It was a used chip in the original box and there was even a bit of extra padding in the shipping box.

I would trade with Cook_1 again (in fact, I bought their 9400F a year earlier so this is a second trade with me buying the leftover from Cook_1's CPU upgrade).

Bought a Raid controller, great trade

ChefJoe was the Buyer on April 27, 2002 AnandTech

What more can I say, shipped on time, paypal went through without problem. Item arrived both clean and nicely packaged. Would surely trade with again in future.

Sold Zoomie a fan, fast and smooth transaction. Plenty of communication.

ChefJoe was the Seller on August 31, 2002 AnandTech

Great to sell to, very communicative.

I bought a combo of Asrock P67 Extreme4, 2500k, and 4x4GB DDR3 from jstanthr. Paid with paypal and they were able to ship a few days later.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on January 29, 2020 HardForum

Communication was OK and it took a bit to ship. Several layers of bubble wrap instead of some kraft paper padding the motherboard would have been welcome, but the contents appear to run fine.

I think I got a good deal and look forward to refurbing the ~8 year old motherboard to "update" my socket 775 HTPC. Might need a bit of deep cleaning, but I did get a good deal.

I bought a liquid metaled 9700k from mikey_ with some bitcoin. I'm very happy with the CPU and mikey was very patient as I took my sweet time installing and verifying it.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on August 16, 2021 HardForum

Extremely well packed and good communication all along. Would buy from again.

I bought a used MSI RX480 GamingX 4G card using paypal. They shipped promptly and I had the card in my hands within days.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on May 8, 2019 HardForum

Card was packed really well, but things hit a bump where card was acting oddly, which was later determined to be the heatsink not making proper contact. Chesney was very accommodating throughout the process and it was all resolved without disputes or sending cards back. It just took a little while longer before I could play a few games with it.

I bought 2 2tb Toshiba Hard Drives and 1 Inland Professional SSD from cybrnook. I paid with an Amazon gift card (my suggestion).

ChefJoe was the Buyer on March 11, 2020 HardForum

I revived an older FS thread asking about these disks. Cybrnook provided smart info when asked. The drives were incredibly "like new" for 5 year old hard drives used as backup - under 200 hrs of use each. They were even shipped in original retail packaging, providing a lot of protection. The SSD was an "addon" that helped complete this Sandy Bridge DVR I'm building. COVID-19 unfolding kind of distracted me from formatting/pulling smart diagnostics to verify the disks survived shipment, but those checked out fine this weekend. Would trade with again (and thanks for waiting on my feedback for several weeks).

Bought a steam code for Dead Space from BrownThunder.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on June 28, 2014 HardForum

Deal went well. Terms were agreeable and had the code within a few hours of payment being sent.

Sold GideonX a 20 gig HD. Paypal done quickly, out the same day. Smooth as silk.

ChefJoe was the Seller on June 12, 2002 AnandTech

Great transaction.

I bought a Thinkpad T480 from Steve using Paypal.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on December 21, 2021 HardForum

We negotiated on price and available options for a bit. They had several models available. We came to an agreement on price and a post-holiday shipping plan. There was a mishap with shipping that added additional time, but blackbeasst ended up on that losing end of that. The laptop shipped securely in its original box and condition was actually a bit better than the photos they sent. Overall, I'm happy with the used laptop and price paid.

I sold Drew some smaller vintage Antec case parts. Payment was via paypal.

ChefJoe was the Seller on November 29, 2019 HardForum

The sale and payment worked out fine. I think we ended up using 3 different communication formats during the trade, which probably made hashing out which parts were desired take longer. Fortunately, nobody was in a rush.

MicronTech Memory 256Megs, 133

ChefJoe was the Buyer on February 27, 2002 AnandTech

Great, smooth transaction. No hitches whatsoever. Would buy from again

Bought a 3Com905B from darren, prompt shipment, very hassle-free. So well packaged I could have stepped on it and it\'d survive.

ChefJoe was the Buyer on May 19, 2002 AnandTech

Prompt, smooth transaction. Trade perfection personified.
