I bought a Dell Latitude laptop w/ 56K Modem for $625 from Theo.

rawko was the Seller on August 16, 2001 AnandTech

After many questions about the laptop, I agreed to price and wanted the modem too. I paypal him that day. Theo says he will ship it asap. That night he PM's me with the UPS tracking number. I don't look at it until 2 days later because it wouldn't be in the system. I look 2 days later, on Sunday, and it says that it's to arrive the next day! Great, I think. Monday rolls around and I realize that it's not being shipped to my city nor my state, it's going to KS. Simple human error I thought, so I PM Theo around noon time to ask him for MY tracking number. No response for a few hours. So I PM him again, with the tracking info he gave me. Still no response. I look into his profile and saw that he had logged in since I sent him those PM's. I wait a couple of hours and I PM him once again, but no response. That night I PM'd him again, stating that I know that he's logged on and seen my PM's and that he's AVOIDING me. He finally responds and says, I'll get it in a sec. But in the meantime, I've already filed a complaint to paypal to put a hold on his account because of his non-communication. He responds and give me the correct tracking number, but has the NERVE to say that I never asked him for it. I was satisfied with that tracking number so I called off the dogs. The Laptop came, but it has some dings and nicks on it. I was under the impression that it was in perfect condition because he never told me about this large scrapes. He didn't offer any recompense at all and explained that all the laptops he has have some wear and tear to them. Although the packaging was nice, but it's his attitude and lack of communication is why I'm leaving him a negative review.

Bought 2 Dell Latitude laptops ($1000+ transactions)

Theo has very good quality stuff to trade,like the laptops he sold me.His careless attitude for delivery/following up transaction affects a lot any comments I can do about him as a trader.A shame for a 50+ pos. eval. trader has gone laying down in his reputation,showing only interest in where the money goes and not if he fulfill other party's expectations.That the way you loose repeat customers.If he correct that,he will be a top notch trader wherever forums he will be.I recommend a middleman use for any trades you may have with him.

Purchased 3 used Computers. K6200 and two P75 compaqs.

rawko was the Seller on February 24, 2001 AnandTech

I am leaving a positive rating, but making note of discrepencies in this sale. Two of the systems were sold as not 'PASSING BIOS', with floppies, RAM, and Hard Drives. One failed to power on at all, the other was missing the 24MB RAM and the Hard Drive. His first response was they were there when he shipped them.
BS.
I asked whether he wanted to stick to that story, and he grudgingly asked what he could do, letting me know that he had no more SIMMS or small HD's. I wanted nothing, but his realization that this kind of thing should not happen.
I've not opened the dead one yet, but I expect more of the same.
All other parts of the transaction went smooth, the third of the systems is the one I really wanted, and it worked as advertised.
