I was going to buy a pair of processors from him at 2cpu.com. He has only a couple negative heatware evals. SO i had him ship first.I then get this PM from him

"p3 850
umm i think that i may have made another boo boo

when i packaged the thing i left the procs on the board, seemed stable enough.!!! however can u please please test the system before u send the money order, just for my piece of mind. if anything is broken, u don't have to pay anything. and sorry for the garbage and the waste of your time. 09-11-2002 12:04 AM "

Well, then i GET the board, and his packaging was absolutely SCREWED UP. He just put the BOARD in the box (with padding), NO STATIC BAG, and the PROCESSORS were NOT PACKED SEPARATELY. One of them had come loose and was rolling around on the board freely. The board and chips were both DOA. I PM'ed him and asked him what he wanted to do. This was his reply.

"Re: p3 850
well from all that i know about that board u do need the additional power plug that is on the board
top right hand corner

as for a vid card i am sure that board cannot support a gf4
now i have a Asus v8200 and i think that it worked with that
i know for sure that it did work with a gf2 gts

if u have the additional power plug in and a gf2 to test with please do

if u do not please simply throw it out. as i said it was working before it left here. i know that i forgot the packaging. totally my fault. 09-14-2002 03:30 PM

I told him I would make every attempt to test the parts separately, and DID, screwed around with it for a WEEK. Finally after I was convinced it was dead. I threw out the parts as he instructed I could do. Then a few days later he comes back and gives me a negative... an absolute troll if you ask me

bought 2 hard drives, a scsi cable and a celeron 566

shipping was kind of SLOW. Processor came DOA, BROKE, with a cracked core... i immediately sent him back the processor, however i am STILL waiting on my money back for the broke processor, it has been ALMOST 2 MONTHS!!! He is making excuses like he is broke and his wife is pregnant. true or not, 20$ is not that much money to come up with. And i am tired of excuses and him putting me off. Trade with caution...

p3 650 x2

bought a celeron 566 that was supposed to be "guaranteed" overclock to 850

nipster was the Buyer on March 18, 2002 HardForum

chip arrived and no matter how hard i tried, it would not overclock to 850 stabily, tried various heatsinks, all the voltage i could throw at it, etc... wasnt too happy, because it wasnt quite as advertised. But it did work

bought a p3 733 from him

bought a pentium iii 1 ghz FC-PGA from him

Firstoff, i must say that I got the item as described and in working condition. That said, this seller shows no reguard at all in the way he packs his packages. For instance, he shipped this processor in a FEDEX UNPADDED ENVELOPE, with a little bubble wrap. This is completely unacceptable to me and when I confronted him in PM about the situation he seemed rather unapolagetic about it. His response to me was "What do you believe I owe you? Anti-static, lots of foam. I've seen you bitch and moan other places, so I'll be honest that I didn't put much effort into it. Next time I"ll just UPS ground it and it will take 3 times as long"

Yes, "next time", there wont be a next time... trade with this guy with caution, and be prepared for shoddy shipping and packing practices, you all are warned... This guy should know better too, he is a moderator at overclockers.com
