blckgrffn was the Buyer on July 24, 2005 AnandTech
Never shipped item. After he agreed to sell it to me, I paid promptly via non-cc paypal. I made several attempts to contact him via PM on the boards where he was active for a couple days after the sale, and then sat back and was patient for nearly three weeks.
At the end of that time I tried sending him several emails and PMs, to no avail. He was unresponsive to a thread place in the FS/FT area. Finally, I got a mod to contact him for me and he replied in the thread that a check had been sent. That was on 7/9/05. I recieved the check on 7/23/05, the date on the check was 7/11/05. My payment to Mr. William Tafe was on 6/16/05. It took him that long to deal with the situation over a lousy $13. Unacceptable trading practices.
I would recommend that if you do business with him in the future, he ships first. Also, check his ebay feedback undermysticcal to see more examples of horrible trading.
Response from MysticcalI realize that I was in a bad time and place and shouldn\'t have been selling anything at the time. I did refund the buyer\'s money and never had the intent to rip him off. I was just in a situation where I couldn\'t control what was happening and wasn\'t fair to my buyers at the time. I\'m very sorry for this.July 24, 2005

It was a pleasure to be Aidan\'s first Anandtech FS/FT forums trader. He paid promptly, let me know when the product arrived and tested immeadiately, and promptly gave me some heat. I will vouch for him as a trader without reservation.
