JTD121

Sold an EVGA nVidia GTX650Ti I was no longer using due to retiring the computer it was in. He was hesitant to buy at first, but I told him I'd hold the money until he had a chance to install and test it. He agreed, about a week later he has installed it. Sounds like it works from the Positive eval I have gotten! Would definitely try to assuage any concerns before a deal regardless of any money changing hands. And glad I did do this deal with DyDx. Looking forward to any other transactions!

Due to several factors, the card has been basically sitting around my office at work (along with all the other derelict parts). I had no real way to test the card, even with two motherboards that can comfortably accommodate it.

Glad it worked out in the end, though!

Bought an 80GB WD Travel drive. Took a while to get here, but I eventually got it. I was in no rush.

Pretty good guy. Will definately buy from again. Here's the 'limit' of words part.

Bought two old (mid-90s) Compaq laptops from Mike here. They were in various states of disrepair, possibly broken beyond fixing. Took a bit to get USPS to take the box, which was understandable, given the size of the box that eventually came to me!

Very well-packed, pretty communicative, even a shade of nostalgia shared. Would deal with again any time!

Bought an older Swatch Irony watch from Retro here. Took a bit for me to get the money, and a bit for him to ship it, but it was all good when it got here. Great communication, great trader!

A note on the battery, it\'s not a 394 as we both though, but a 395. I saw a bunch of those at the places I went looking for a 394, but thought \'That can\'t be it...\'

Finally went to a jeweler at the mall, and got the right battery. Cost a little more than I would have liked, but it\'s working fine now!

Bought a Corsair AF140 and paid through Paypal after some chat about the item.

Communication was great, pretty quick answers (wasn't expecting near real-time!). Item was well-packaged and arrived safely.

Haven't had a chance to spin it up, but I have no worries about the fan.

Sold an older iPod Shuffle 512MB

Was an awesome transaction, wouldn\'t mind doing business again. Ten

Bought a Tokina 19-53mm f/3.5-4.5.

JTD121 was the Buyer on January 29, 2008 ArsTechnica

Good communication, even offered some advice for using it for a while at the wide end.

Definitely a good trader; even lives about 40 miles from me! Quick shipping! (<1 day)

Bought a Slot 1 Pentium III at 850MHz.

Works great! Great packaging! I didn't know that the FedEx packaging was anti-static. I learned something new.

Bout most of the old school Wing Commander series, including a couple strategy guides.

Took a while for the whole deal, but we knew that would happen. Overall, awesome communication, and awesome shipping skillz. ;p

Sold two 7200RPM laptop drives.

JTD121 was the Seller on January 28, 2008 ArsTechnica

One was SATA one was PATA. Both were shipped and arrived safely to him. Great communication, and fast feedback!

Bought an IBM Thinkpad T23 from him. Was a little bit more than I thought it was going to be, but it came to me alright. Even included an extra (replacement) keyboard.

A little slow at shipping, but I knew he was going out of town for a while. Got here quite well packaged; a little too much paper, though ;)

Bought a bag of SIMMs for decorating keychains, necklaces, etc, etc.

Great with communication, shipped fast. Here\'s for the ten word limit.

Bought Warcarft, Warcraft II, and the WC2 expansion, with books.

Awesome trader. Hybrid discs are in good condition, as are the books. Would deal with him again.

After quite a bit of back-and-forthing on the details, Tegid bought a couple older, well-used (but still 95% functional!) wireless Xbox 360 controllers.

Clearly talkative, and well-versed in the haggling, prompt payment once all details were settled.

Also updated me after they arrived, with implications of some tear downs of the controllers to mend their internals.

Sold two Asus motherboards (P8P67 PRO & P8Z77-V LK) that I had given up on trying to make work. They look to work on his end, which is great! A bit late, but better than never!

Very talkative, prompt payment once we got to a number we could both agree on. Wouldn't take a separate mailed-out freebie for some reason, but that's not a negative!

Sold a 650W ThermalTake Gold PSU, Otterbox Commuter case for Galaxy S4, and some freebie Corsair fan inserts.

Paid promptly once a deal was reached. Not as communicative as other traders, but answered any questions asked.

Bought a Bag o' RAM from rafadavidc. All DDR-based (1-3), all were working when pulled. I trust the man to his word. Was straightforward and communicative, even after the transaction. Would definitely deal with again!

JTD121 was the Buyer on April 13, 2016 ArsTechnica

Gave me a thorough history on when and where the sticks came from, which was neat. I trust they will all work when their time comes to be pushed into service!

That's just the shipping! That's all I asked! Asked a bunch of questions, as expected. Very patient as I tried to find a single box large enough for the 6 LootCrate...crates...to send to him. Also as shocked as I when I saw the shipping.

Hopefully his nephew remembers his nerdy uncle when he's all growed-up!

Would definitely deal with again!

Sold me a Hitachi 7K60 60GB drive. Came quickly and very well packaged. Works awesome! Would do business with him in a heartbeat.

The box was a little big, and I forgot to tell him no packing peanuts, but no big deal. I got the drive safe and sound, and it works perfectly! :)

Bout two PIII's at 933MHz for my new server.

JTD121 was the Buyer on November 10, 2005 ArsTechnica

He wasn't the person actually shipping them, but at least I got 'em!

Bought a semi-non-working Thinkpad T22 from Steve here. Haven\'t been able to boot it up, and I don\'t have the anti-static stuff to really take it apart the way I want, but I will still bring this one as a positive, as it will give me a 20GB drive and 128MB RAM for my digital picture frame if I can\'t fix it or get it going again. Took a while to get the details, and even the money together, and it got here very quickly, so all around good transaction!

JTD121 was the Buyer on July 13, 2007 ArsTechnica

Would definitely do this again, very helpful and full of information on the items he has.

Good fellow.

I bought two UNIX books from him; 'UNIX Unleashed' and 'Using csh & tcsh'

Very nice person, a little slow, but at least I got them! :)

Sold a 160GB SATA drive to oblib_ here, and was understanding about everything.

JTD121 was the Seller on July 21, 2007 ArsTechnica

I shipped out as soon as I could, the day he sent the money. Seems it got there just fine and in working order

Asked Accs to sell me some SATA cables. He gladly obliged and gave me some options on what to buy from him.

JTD121 was the Buyer on April 19, 2006 Other/Unknown

Very fast response and received within two days. Would always do business with him again.

Bought a Nintendo64 with controller, AV cables, power, RAM cart, etc. Four games came with it. Two I already have, but it\'s never too late to have a backup! We had some quick e-mails, and he shipped same day I said I would buy it, even before PayPal was sent. Got here on Tuesday, the 20th because of the holiday. It was all very, VERY well packed. Each component was in it\\\'s own little package, the games were together in a bubblewrap bag. Excellent trader, would do business in a heartbeat. Now, onto Majora\\\'s Mask!

Even let me choose the normal Jumper Pak, or the RAM Pak. :)
