Purchased a macbook in need of repair from seller on Hard Forum

avafreak182 was the Seller on August 27, 2010 HardForum

Seller was slow to ship(received after nearly 3 weeks) and VERY slow to respond. The problem ended up being a faulty screen and not a bad inverter cable as described. The seller was NO help in having it replaced(he included a "new" screen) so I ended up buying another one on my own. Little to no communication and only has 1000 excuses. Not a terrible deal but a total hassle. Assume purchases are totally at your own risk!

Bought a His X1950 Pro video card.

avafreak182 was the Seller on March 9, 2009 AnandTech

The description for the card said it came with accessories when it really only came with one accessory. Having all the accessories was one of the deciding factors in buying from him.

Edit: To be fair I found out later that some of these cards only came with the one accessory, the component out adapter, so this complaint may be unfair.

Worst of all though is the fan made an extremely annoying clicking noise. He said it was common for HIS cards which maybe true but I still say it was defective.

avafreak182 was the Seller on August 26, 2009 HardForum

Let preface this by saying overall i\'m satisfied, everything works just fine. Shipping was pretty fast and communication was good. My only gripe was that several of the games were dirty or had smudges...not a big deal, maybe you were in a hurry. everything cleaned up just fine and so far all play without issue. Considering what I paid I\'m highly satisfied and would buy from again.
