I purchased a new/sealed EVGA 7900GTX card from Gary on 6/17/06 for $383 and paid via Paypal. He was to ship the card out ASAP and include the original purchase, so that I may utilize the Step-Up program.

One4yu2c was the Buyer on June 28, 2006 AnandTech

Nearly two weeks later, the card has not shipped and I am left doing the footwork to make contact. I called Gary on Monday the 26th and he gave me the same excuse as below (internet was down at work). I left a message earlier today warning that it is in Gary\'s best interest to get this resolved with me promptly. He did return my phone call (however he asked for and was attempting to get ahold of Jeff, the poster below), and gave the same excuse.

At this point, I have filed a claim with Paypal and am in contact with other purchasers of Gary\'s that are in the same situation.

I 'purchased' an Arctic Cooler NV Silencer 5.

What an unbelievably kick-ass transaction. I posted a WTB thread on [H] looking for the aboved mentioned Silencer. After swapping some PMs in negotiating a trade, Hung ended up giving me the card for free, minus the actual shipping charge.

On a side note, needless to say the Silencer was packed professionally and worked like a charm - very clean as well.

Traders like Hung are few and far between. Plus, we're both anti-Detroit Pistons, so what's not to like about this guy??

P3 866 VT6X4 Mobo 256MB PC133 10GB Hard Drive 3Com 10/100 NIC ATI Rage Pro AGP

One4yu2c was the Buyer on July 12, 2007 Other/Unknown

I\'ve known XMAN since 2000, back when I first joined Maximum PC\'s forums (used to be hosted on Delphi, and called Commport). In 2003, I was looking to pick up some budget parts at reasonable prices to build a rig for my kids, and XMAN stepped up with the above listed components. Couldn\'t have asked for a better person to work with; communication was great, price was fair, shipping was fast, and all the parts were fully functional (and still are to this day!).

He\'s a good trader, and as a bonus, you can get a free rise out of him by claiming ATI pwns nVidia. :P

Cel Damage (XBox)

One4yu2c was the Buyer on March 9, 2005 Other/Unknown

I bought Cel Damage for XBox from AznAnarchy99. He agree to ship first, communication was excellent, packaging was very professional, and the game came in mint condition. He might be new to Heatware, but he trades like a veteran!

Sold him a pair of Vista discs and a magical pony.

One4yu2c was the Seller on June 23, 2009 Other/Unknown

Unfortunately, the magical pony died during transit. It all worked out though, because buyer feasted on its remains and said it tasted magically delicious, so we called it good.

Don\'t let the low heatware fool you - Frosty\'s one cool dude, cooler even than Crocodile Dundee!

I purchased an XFX 7800GTX 256MB (490MHz/1100MHz version) from Alan.

One4yu2c was the Buyer on November 20, 2005 HardForum

Video card was packed very securely and arrived in it's retail dressing (box, manual, cables, everything). Aesthetically ,it looked like it was pulled brand new right off the shelf.

Communication was excellent througout the transaction, which is always comforting in higher priced transactions.

To make an already excellent transaction ever better, shipping was VERY fast. We completed the transaction on Friday the 18th and it arrived ahead of schedule early Monday afternoon on the 21st.

If all forum trading were as smooth as this, e-tailers such as Newegg would be in serious trouble. ;P

Leadtek 6800 AGP Video Card

One4yu2c was the Buyer on March 10, 2005 Other/Unknown

One of the fastest shippers I've dealt with. Being new, he agreed to ship first and the video card was recieved in great condition, packaged well. He's also highly responsive to emails. Skills might be new to heatware, but I can easily doing business with him.

One4yu2c was the Seller on August 31, 2004 Other/Unknown

Very pleasant, quick payment and response to emails.

I purchased a 2GB (2x1GB) kit of PC4000 Ballistix Tracers.

One4yu2c was the Buyer on November 24, 2005 HardForum

Been a pleasure dealing with Mike. Very communitive throughout the process (always a 'plus' when spending a good chunk of change), RAM was packed very well, and shipping was quick. After putting the Tracers through a few rounds of Memtest86 and watching it pass with flying colors, this transaction can officially be concluded as successful. :)

I would not hesitate to do business again.

Purchased a TI-83 calculator.

One4yu2c was the Buyer on September 14, 2010 HardForum

Two of my kids needed a TI-83 calculator for school and Bob offered to sell me one ridiculously cheap, a leftover from when his kids were in school. Arrived quickly and in great shape. Saved me a nice chunk of change - he's a class act.

Asus EeePC 1005HA Netbook w/ accessories and a talking unicorn.

One4yu2c was the Buyer on December 29, 2009 AnandTech

Normally I\'d be geeked about a talking unicorn fluent in several different languages, but the real treat here is the netbook. Arrived quickly and in new condition. Would not hesitate to purchase PC parts or mystical creatures from this seller.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (Retail)

One4yu2c was the Buyer on April 11, 2008 HardForum

Processor runs at 8.9GHz in my AMD board with no voltage whatsevar!!!11one!!

Oh wait, this isn\'t a Newegg review. :P

Quick ship, well packaged and clean, and runs like a champ, even if it does fall just shy of 8.9GHz. ;)

Sold both a Seagate Momentus 320GB notebook hard drive and West Virginia.

One4yu2c was the Seller on June 17, 2009 HardForum

West Virginia wouldn\'t fit in the box, so I just sent the hard drive by itself. Buyer was totally cool about it.

Sold KingThot a retail boxed Leadtek 6800nu AGP w/ NV Silencer for $205 shipped by way of MaximumPC's 'Appraisal' forum.

One4yu2c was the Seller on June 24, 2005 Other/Unknown

KingThot was a pleasure to deal with. He sent an initial payment of $145 and then the remaining $60 a few days later after it cleared his Paypal account. We agreed to this beforehand and he followed through exactly as promised.

Very friendly individual and up and coming member of the MaximumPC community. :)

Bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for PC for $8 shipped.

One4yu2c was the Buyer on May 23, 2005 Other/Unknown

Very friendly individual. We exchanged a few emails and he never hesitated to ship first due to our respective feedback. The game arrived in a sturdy box, was completely unscratched, and installed just fine. His heatware is unestablished at this point, but I would do business with Mike anytime.

Traded PSP games (Prince of Persia Revelations for Ape Escape).

Cross-traded on June 19, 2006 HardForum

I was looking to trade one of my 8 year old son\'s PSP games (Prince of Persia) for a more age appropriate title, and Ape Escape fit the bill. Awesome trader here, had everything you\'d want in a transaction - great communication, accurate item description, packaged well, and shipped very quickly.

Sold him a 1g kit of OCZ PC3200 Platinum Revision 2

One4yu2c was the Seller on October 2, 2004 Other/Unknown

Great transaction - very friendly and easy to get ahold of. Not only would I trade with him again, but we have another trade pending.

Purchased a retail AMD 4400+ X2 processor for $423 shipped.

One4yu2c was the Buyer on November 15, 2005 AnandTech

Andrew is new to online selling/trading, yet he is off to an excellent start. Due to the limited feedback, he agreed to ship first. While this isn't uncommon for new sellers, this shows a willingness on Andrew's part to be a fair trader and build a reputation for himself, especially considering that this was a $400+ item.

Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and we're already discussing a possible second trade. Shipping was excellent as well - the processor arrived in it's original retail box with all the paperwork and the shipping box was a sufficient size with plenty of packing peanuts.

I haven't had a chance to test out the processor yet, as my proposed motherboard (the Asus A8N32-SLI) is still on backorder. Rather than wait however, I wanted to help get this new seller some much deserved feedback. Between the shipping insurance and excellent communication, I have little doubt that if a problem does arrive in regards to functionality, he would work to get it resolved.

If it isn't obvious by now, two thumbs up for an up and coming trader. :)

Sold a set of Klipsch 5.1 Ultras.

Intel 3.2C Processor OEM

Works great, he shipped it fast, and always responded to emails. Great guy.

Sold him an Antec Fusion Case

One4yu2c was the Seller on January 26, 2007 AnandTech

With a feedback rating of only 1,400+, I was extremely leery of doing business with karaktu. But despite my hesitation, it everything turned out just peachy. Who\'d of thunk that oodles and oodles of positive feedback would lead to a smooth transaction?

On a side note, I did stub my toe on the way to the shipping center. Pain didn\'t last very long though, so I feel semi-confident that a positive evaluation is still warranted. Still, it did sting pretty bad while the pain did last, so this is a big decision for me. Be right back...

It landed tails, so \'positive\' it is.
