COMPUTER - Epox mini me athlon xp 3200 + trade ??

I did business with this person some month's ago.
Deal was not exactly as advertized.
We did a swap for an older PC for an Icom Dual Bander.
Computer received OK, but short on memory, after many many e-mails
promising to send and then to resend a memory stick this person
stopped answering/responding to e-mails, bottom line here,
\\\PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION IN DEALING WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL.\\\
I would be cautious of the "REFERENCES"
If ever I receive the memory stick I will retract this ad.

Ok, here is the deal folks, I have had a LOT of deals on qrz.com and qth.com and NEVER had any problems until now. So here is my side of the story. The computer was shipped fast to him, I noticed prior to shipping that I had stated the wrong amount of memory in the ad (I am human I make mistakes). It was 256 meg instead of 512 meg, I was thinking of a different computer or something, don't know why I said that. HE was informed PRIOR to me shipping the item, he that he was fine with it, as I told him I would buy a 256 meg stick off of ebay and send it to him. About a week and a half later, I sent him that stick of memory via usps parcel post. It was in a brown envolope still in the anti-static bad and I even put bubble wrap about it. He wrote to me sometime later that he never received it. I told him that the post office told me that it would have to be 30 days BEFORE they did a trace, I told him that if he did not receive it in that time, to email me back and I would be more than happy to put a trace on it. I NEVER heard back from him, I swear I did not. What makes me angry is I went the extra mile by including a webcam (kodak a very nice one) and putting several games on the computer for his son, which I did not have to do. Now, I found this out today, just got back from the post office and I am doing a trace on this. I find it also very weird that he has waited this long to post something about this. I have been dealing with people for a long time and have never had any problems like this. I am truly sorry that he did not receive it, but I will do everything I can to trace the package down. People who order something, SHOULD get what they paid for or traded for. Gordon, I am sorry, but you could had dealt with this in a more better fashing than putting my name out there as a bad seller which I am NOT!!

Reba, has offered to compensate for additional memory stick in the P.C.

I have accepted her offer.

Deal is closed as far as I am concerned.

It sounds like it sure was nice of you to accept her offer...
are you going to return the web cam and compensation for
the extras she included in the deal?
How much does a memory stick cost anyway?

In your first posting, you said that you'd retract the whole thing if you got your memory. Please let me know if you want this posting removed.

Post by w4glm »

Last time I heard from Reba was Sunday, May 1, 2005, advised she would

compensate me $20. to make it right. I accepted that publiclly.

It's Thursday June 16, 2005, over a month and a half, I've heard nothing else.

All draw your own conclusions.....I know what mine are.

I will never mention this again, Scott you may remove these postings at your

convenience.....Mac
