I bought an HSF and window kit from duong.

Not a very good experience. We agreed on a price of $64, which included shipping. Once I made payment he told me he couldn't ship right away because his replacement HSF hadn't arrive yet. I feel he should have told me he was waiting for a replacement before I paid, and he may not be able to ship right away. A few days past and he shipped the items out Xpresspost.
They arrived 2 days later. When I opened the package I found the window was scratched by the HSF. Everything arrived in a plastic bubble wrap envelope and the HSF was not wrapped in anything. The only protection the window had from the metal edges of the HSF was a clear plastic bag and the film that comes stuck to the window. When I told him it was damaged he responded "Next time, maybe you should put some money to help with shipping? ;)" When I demanded that he refund my money he replied "All sales are final, sorry."
This issue was brought public at a few forums and after much kicking and screaming he refunded my money for the window kit (including shipping), which I will be mailing back to him. Duong did have good communication throughout the deal, I can't fault him on that one, and I don't think he intended to troll me. I'm sure he's learned a valuable lesson on shipping/packing, and on proper conduct when engaging in trades with adults. Exercise proper judgment if you decide to engage in a trade with Duong. I will be keeping all his correspondence should anyone be interested in reviewing it.

Bought a copy of XP home edition then returned it when it wasn't what I thought it was.

I had a post asking for a legit operating system. I made a deal with AMD soldier for Windows XP Home. He told me that it had a small Dell logo on the CD, which was fine by me. When it arrived I found that it was just the CD, (which was a re-installation CD for a new Dell computer) and had the CD-key hand written on the paper sleeve. When we made the deal he did not tell me that he wouldn't be able to provide everything required to make it a legal sale of OEM software. I returned it to him as soon as I got it. He kept great communication with me and I don't believe that he was purposely trying to troll me. However I think he should have been more forthcoming with details about the software. I have the private message as a .pdf if anyone wants to read it. I would still reccomend him as a trader, don't hold this one transaction against him.

Bought a Duron 750 from this guy.

I bought a Duron 750 from Quentin. When it arrived it didn't work. I tried removing all the pencil markings and tested it on 2 computers. In his post he described it as "I can't for the life of me remember where this one came from. It has pencil across some of the bridges. I throw away all junk parts so I believe this to still be good. Another experimenter's deal of the day." I think he could have been more specific about the fact that he wasn't guaranteeing it would work. I only found that out after I asked for my money back. Needless to say I didn't get it back. I think there was some misunderstanding here and if you are considering a deal with Quentin I wouldn't hold it against him. Look at all the positive feedback he has!! None the less I am not satisfied with this transaction and that is why I have left neutral feedback. If you would like more details of this transaction I have kept .pdf files of the post as well as the PM communication.
