Pitiful individual who has taken several members of Anandtech for thousands of dollars. Outstanding communication up until the point of payment, then nothing. "Bought" a 2700k, and not received a thing.

Thank goodness for Heatware to at least offer some protection from individuals such as this.

Traded Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 14 laptop for "mint condition" Dell 2407WFP-HC and HiVi Swan Speakers. Speakers arrived with busted grills and monitor had multiple clearly visible blemishes.

User returned messages long enough to say "yeah, I see those" with regards to the cuts, scratches, and dim spots, and once more to say "you should deal with it because you have the evidence" with regards to the carrier insurance claim. Multiple PMs and emails have since gone without response

Purchased/traded for a 13" Macbook Air
gizmo was the Buyer on December 26, 2011 HardForum
Macbook Air was purchased with all original packaging. Arrived in a cardboard box with unit and charger, nothing else. Messages promptly replied that he was out of town and did not have access to the original box and did not want to make me wait. Was to have the original packaging by end of January when he was returning to school. January came and went and there were issues with a move, resulting in me getting the box and packaging within a month. Then another month. Another. End of summer. Etc.
No longer returning messages sent via forum despite being active. Macbook Air still functions, but lacking items that I requested be present.

Purchased a Mac Mini and accessories via Hard Forum in "like new" condition and with 9 months of manufacturers warranty remaining.
gizmo was the Buyer on April 30, 2012 HardForum
Keyboard arrived with two holes drilled in battery compartment for some unknown reason. Seller later stated he bought it used and thought all were like that.
Two months after purchase he has still not been helpful in transferring the balance of the warranty as we had discussed via forum messages.
Response from Copenhagen69Go Fuck yourself! Your like new laptop I bought has had to have 2 repairs already from faulty disk drive and a stick of ram dying. You do not see me complaining about that do you? Send me the keyboard and I will send you the 2 bills for my expenses from the apple store.
The 2 holes in the battery compartment do not effect use and the keyboard works perfectly!!! If you flip the keyboard over and try to type with it on the back you will notice the 2 small holes. It was bought with the holes back there, I did not even notice them till weeks after I bought it.
Thanks for trying to ruin my heat over your witch hunt. Like new means "like" new not brand new. Everything on the keyboard works like new. It has 2 blemishes from use ... Hence like new. You never once tossed out ideas for a resolution all you did was ask me to contact the seller I bought it from and try and figure out why he did that. I tried for 2 months with no answer now all the sudden you leave a shitty heat cause you are upset? I always responded to your messages on the forums in a timely manner and tried to work with you.
Like I said send me back my keyboard and money for the laptop repairs that I had to pay for from your supposedly "perfect working condition" laptopJuly 2, 2012
