I just bought the 3GS 32GB from therichad, awesome seller. Everything was described and amazing price he gave me. He even went out of his way to send me the phone via ups overnight. Thanks Richard :)

UserSecond bought a MacBook Pro from me two months ago for $1900 and now claims that he did not authorize the payment. This is a cut and dry case of fraudulence and I hope the credit card company takes it very seriously. He is under the alias, "UserFirst" on howardforums where people have also been burned. BEWARE! I am terribly upset and this has ruined my day that I have to fight for the payment that I received for sending off a laptop in the condition described.

Purchased an Iphone 3G from ansarcec. He is an excellent seller. Provided me with the tracking number immediately after purchase and responded to emails quickly. Highly recommended!

Thanks ansarcec!

I advise that anyone who may be attempting a trade or sale involving hotrodDiesel use caution. He replied to my post concerning my Tiger bundle that I wanted to trade. Initially he provided quick communication via IM and emailed me photos of the trade item he was offering. Communication since then has become unsuccessful as I attempted to discover if he actually shipped the trade item. I have not received a reply to the last several IM's I sent nor did I ever receive the trade item he stated he mailed. I did not ship the OS in advance so I have not lost anything, still as stated previously I advise the use of caution when dealing with this member.

iBook G3 - You'll be missed.
Watch out for someone who goes by the name of atlas*20 - This person scammed me out of $410 dollars US. I purchased an iPhone 4 off of him and he never sent the iPhone. It's been several months now and nothing has been done or shown up. Will not respond to e-mails or anything. Paypal won't do jack either. So I am making it public.

Real name is : Lawrence Selby
Paypal and e-mail is; [email protected]
Ebay ID is; atlas*20

He's been on other forums with the atlas*20 username - so I just wanted to give a heads up to everyone here, just in case he decides to pull his little tricks here too.

I want to caution would-be buyers and sellers to be careful when dealing with swan44. I'm not sure if anybody has any success stories about their dealings with him but I paid him $800 on Saturday, February 19th for a 13" MacBook Pro (that he was selling in this thread). After he confirmed that he received my payment he never sent me the item. He told me he would send it the following Wednesday, February 23 (which should have been my first clue since UPS doesn't close for President's Day--one of the reasons he gave me for shipping it on Wednesday instead of Monday). I've continuously contacted him via PM's and e-mail and he hasn't responded to anything. I never received a tracking number, nor any other indication as to when I could expect the MacBook.

I consider myself an extremely patient and understanding individual, but I gave him $800 of my hard earned cash and never saw anything for it. After 15 days of waiting for the package to arrive, I called PayPal and filed a claim. Hopefully he'll respond and we can arrive at a solution, otherwise I'll be wanting my money back.

I'm not angry about the situation, I want it to work out one way or another. But unless he contacts me with a reasonable excuse as to why things have played out the way they have, this feedback review will remain the same.

Just liked to point out that Ronin67 was a pleasure to deal with. Quick responses (despite time difference) and quick and careful shipping. iMac was in great condition.

Thanks,

Nate

GREAT Seller

Ronin67 is a fabulous Seller. He was patient and promtply answered my (many) questions, had top-of-the-line product for us to enter into the Mac field at a great price. Stellar communication, superb packing, lightning quick shipping. We have a like-new 2011 quad core Macbook Pro for our ministry and couldn't have had a better experience buying it. Only five days to get it here from Japan and it looks to be in perfect condition. We've bought many things online over the years --- but no experience was as positive as this one ... which is really saying something, considering my anxiety at getting "burned" with such a large purchase from a stranger. Highly recommend him to all!

Beware of bargsbeer!!

I paid $360 to bargsbeer for iPad 2 16Gb Wi-Fi on July 30, 2011. I've been trying to contact him about shipment. He has disappeared since the payment was made. Never received the iPad nor any responses. Guess I will need to file a case with PayPal to get my money back.

I'm new to this forums. I trusted him because he has a lot of posts here. Please be careful when dealing with bargsbeer.

I should have posted it alot sooner but i had forgot. This transaction took place around nov 5, 2010. I sold an aluminum Unibody macbook to srtnation. he payed me and he received the item. he told me he was going to leave feedback for me but I didnt see it. maybe I missed it. anyway he payed me and everything went smooth despite his low post count.

this is my forsale thread. he did leave feedback for me about the laptop in the last post.
