Amibench thieves

[Lando]

I am sick of Amibench.

For the third time, I have sent money to someone selling Amiga stuff on Amibench and 2 months later, still nothing has arrived and no replies to my emails.  The guy cashes my cheque and then nothing!

This is the last time I ever use Amibench until they have some sort of user registration system.  I can't afford to keep throwing money away like this (

I advise anyone purchasing stuff from amibench to do some checking and asking around about the person you're buying from first, and if the price sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Wow! that really sucks I bought my A4000 and my Cyberstorm through Amibench and never had any problems

Were they expensive items?

Hi tickly :-)

It was an A4000, which was under £50, (sounds cheap, but it had no CPU card or RAM.)
The one before that was a PIV card for £40, and the other was a couple of A12k mobo's for £30.  So about £120 altogether.

I have bought several items from Amibench before and had no problems, but this is the third time out of four now that I have paid money and got nothing so I just don't feel comfortable using Amibench any more.

Nah it was some guy called Frank but I don't remember where he's from.  I'll have a look at loot, cheers.
