I bought 2 disks from this guy recently and he shipped them to someone else here in the US and shipped the other guys order to me.  I informed him that I got someone else's order by mistake and not mine and he emailed me back 2 days later and said he would look into it.  That was December 16th and I've heard nothing from him since.  In the meantime the other buyer and I got in contact with each other and have remailed the items at our own expence.  I realize anybody can make a mistake, but anybody can also try to correct a mistake and try to do something about it.  This guy has just ignored it.  I wouldn't be in a hurry myself to buy from him again.   Dan

Hi There,

I received Dannyp1's order on Tuesday this week, and he received mine. It was no more than a mixup on the seller's part. I shipped dannyp1's order yesterday morning and things should be in order now.

I would buy from airey36 again. No question. I understand Dannyp1's concern, but hey, it made for an interesting week. Aside from the raccoon who ate half a Sausage McMuffin wrapper out of my trash can during the night, there's not much going on around here between Christmas and New Years.

...now if that A2000 I purchased on eBay in November would just get here already, that would be a different story! Well, wait a minute...I already have three of those. I get the feeling sometimes that I'm starting to fit in to my countryside neighborhood. Some of the neighbors have old cars on cinder blocks in the back yard, you know...for parts? I guess I'm kinda doing the same with Amigas and the office closet...

Festering...

Yes don't buy from him. Buy from someone else with not even half his collection of spares at almost tribble the price.....
 
He is a good seller and he aims in serving the Amiga community together with making some spending money on the side. He has almost everything Amiga wise and he will surelly find anything for you if you ask.
Has helped many retreive items from the UK that their sellers would not bother to post abroad.
 
We are mistakes and we make humans.....sometimes.

Way to dig up the old dirt, krhtikos!

I've bought plenty of stuff from airey36 as well, shipping costs are resonable especially considering international, and everything has always arrived quickly and as described.

Never had a problem with airey, always polite and what he said was what he sent, more than 20 transactions over the past 4 years.

I think its clear that there are more positives from Tony then problems, I bought an A1200 case for £3.99 and then sent him a message to ask if he had a bottom shield + mat, floppy power cable, keyboard clip as well.

He said, yep sure do that'll be £3 extra.

Where else could you get that?

It all arrived as described in good time.  I've also bought other items without any trouble, A600 Mobo for £8.99 (working fine) plus some games, other bits...

+1 for Aiery36 :)

All kind of redundant now as the original poster has deleted the reasons for creating this thread topic anyway ;)

I've also brought more than my fair share from airey36 over the years without issues.

I've bought close to 50 things from Anthony over the years.  Never had a single issue, and more often than not, he's included extra stuff, or ate the cost of extra shipping.
