I bought a Sunbeam Rheobus, SUPPOSEDLY!

k0rn_h0li0 was the Seller on October 31, 2007 HardForum

I opened a \"For Sale / Want to buy\" thread in hardforums.

In my Want To Buy list I wrote that I am specifically looking for a Sunbeam Rheobus fan controller. Model can be seen here: http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/Rheobus/Rheobus.htm

Seller approached to me by sending a private mail and wrote that he has one for my asking price. So, I paid him quickly and he shipped it next day.

It arrived in a COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED ENVELOPE.

Naturally, it was DAMAGED, but more importantly it was NOT THE CORRECT BRAND/MODEL.

You can find the pictures below. I hid the names and addresses for privacy purposes, but I have the original pics, too.

Furthermore, I opened a complaint thread in hardforums: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1236669 BUT he simply insists that I got what I am asking for.

What I got is:
1) Damaged goods
2) Not the CORRECT BRAND or MODEL that we agreed on.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS PERSON!

Abit MB, memory.

k0rn_h0li0 was the Seller on November 7, 2007 HardForum

Worst trade ever!!!!!!!!!
MB was shipped in an envelope. Said MB would post but was having problems loading the OS. Would not even post for me.Sent wrong IO panel for MB. Ram was packaged in anti-static bag, but layed loosely on top of motherboard. Not sure how it survived the poor packaging, but it did work. Gave wrong tracking info which caused a concern and a heated debate in the forum. Was rude with replies about my concerns. Ended up having to trade IO panels with another trader at the forums... Asked for a partial refund since the ram worked and was refused. Was also going to ask for shipping expenses for sending the io panel to the right trader, but I was tired of all the bullshit. Wouldnt have done any good anyway.

Attempted purchase of chasis fans, after sending money, seller has not responded to any contact. I\\\'ve lost my money. DO NOT DEAL WITH!

Scammed me. end of story. Sent money and that was the last I heard from this asshat.

Purchased 2 x 1 GB Sticks of memory.

Ram works fine, His trading skills however needs work.
I set a WTB thread and he PM\'d me and said he had the memory. We agreed upon a price and I paid right away(3/6/09).
He said he got the money and would send it out that day (3/6/09)
After a couple weeks I ask where it is. Did not respond to PM, I had to post in the forums for him to respond. On 3/20/09 he says that he shipped it out earlier that week via media mail. WTF? you said you shipped it out earlier...
4/1/09 I get a USPS notice that he finally made a mailing label. WTF? Does not respond to any PM\'s and I finally file a paypal dispute. He did not respond to them until I finally asked them to decide and get my money back.

He ships it out and I finally get the memory on 4/24/09 and he shippied it regular mail.

He lies about shipping and does not respond to PM\'s. I have all this info in email\'s and PM\'s if anyone wants to verify.

If I had not gotten the memory, this would be a negative.
