P4 2.8ghz and an undelivered Thermalright XP94

sativaman84 was the Seller on July 8, 2005 AnandTech

On May 20, I see a post by sativaman84 on the AT forums for a P4 2.8 cpu. I contact him and we quickly agree on a price for the P4 and a Thermalright XP94 hsf. I send him payment and he says he'll ship the next day.

I don't hear from him and he doesn't reply to my pms. I browse the forums and I see that several other are having problems contacting him about unshipped items. Later, the AT mods intervene and he contacts me via e-mail on May 20 to let me know he has shipped the P4 and hsf to me and provides a tracking number.

I received the package on May 26 and the packing is horrible. The cpu is simply covered with a little bit of buublewrap with nothing to protect the cpu pins and put in a lightly padded (at best) envelope! Plus the hsf is not included. Fortunately, the cpu works fine but where's the XP94?

I receive a reply on June 1 and he says he'll ship out the hsf to me. Nothing arrives in the mail and no replies to my repeated e-mails so I call him on June 20. He claims the hsf was shipped and I ask for a tracking or delivery confirmation number. He says he did not receive my e-mails because his e-mail address has changed. He gives me his new address and I send an e-mail to him. No reply so I e-mail him again. No reply.

While browsing the AT forums, I see that he's selling stuff again. On July 4, I send him an e-mail and pm with an ultimatium to contact me or I will consider myself trolled. I never hear back from him until July 6 when I receive an e-mail from paypal that he has sent $20 for the hsf. He does not even taken the time to discuss a refund amount but at this point, I'm lucky to get even $20 back. As far as I'm concerned, this transaction is done and I'm not happy.

It has taken 47 days for sativaman84 to complete this transaction from the time I paid him. It's a shame because he had 45+ postive heat when we first talked. Lousy packaging and ignoring pms/e-mails is not a way to conduct business and I'm sorry that he takes his reputation so lightly. From this experience, I will not conduct business with sativaman84 again.

3.2 EE CPU and an Asus P4C800 E-Deluxe

sativaman84 was the Seller on May 12, 2005 AnandTech

I made a deal with sativaman84 to buy an Asus P4C800 E-Deluxe and a P4 3.2EE for 385. This was on a Friday and he told me he would ship it out on Monday. Monday came and went and not a single word from sativaman so I pm him on several forums he was active in and I was ignored for about a week when he tells me I can have a refund or he would ship that day. I opted for the refund because I no longer trusted him. There were several other people who were being treated the same way by Sativaman and it took moderators from two different forums to get a response out of him. During all of this lack of communication he was logging into the forums regularly and even posted WTB threads while ignoring the people he sold stuff too. All he had to do was let people know what was going on but he chose to ignore all attempts of communication and made several of us think that we got trolled. Since I got my money back I will leave a neutral but other traders should be aware of the irresponsible behaviour by sativaman.
