Several PPC cards on Amibench

[Jose]

So, out of curiosity has anyone received their card yet?

@x56h54

Thx!!! I'm more relieved now...
I also ordered a BPPC 240/060 + SCSI  :-D

"So he has more than 1 of those? Either that or...scam? "

Well, in the general info text that they send in their email replies (it's also posted here in this thread) they say that they're a group that got verious cards from a store that closed, so possibly they had various cards of this model.
A friend of mine got an email answered this weekend too that they still had that model so...
One should be very paranoid with these things and not risk, but the price was good and some of you were buying too so I went for it. I  just hope that we are able to get our money back if anything goes wrong... but at the moment it seems to be cool.

Interesting... I think people buying the non SCSI version to spend less will be sorry soon. Unless you're not using the processor for other running programs, SCSI with good DMA spares the overhead of the processor, freeing it to have almost it's full processing power.
Video players are a good example. With SCSI they perform better.

I've only bought mine this Monday afternoon so it should still take some time...

[Jose]

@tangletown
YES!

By the way. I mailed him about if he had already received the money on his bank account and didn't got a reply so far.. that was around 4 days ago...
I'm starting to get pissed :-x
Hopefully things will turn out to be ok...

@thread

Can anyone of you that were told that the cards were already shipped ask him for the tracking nr.? It would be stupid to have the cards shipped without insurance, and I think all insured stuff gets a tracking nr.

So just ask for the nr. and you can track it using the site of the posting service he used.

It's also a way for we to be more relieved...or not...

[Jose]

Sorry for the guy being in hospital... proves that one should not hurry in judging things...Hmm, he still could've warned us but we really don't know what happened.

@JaXanim

"BTW, I just bought 256Mb RAM for twenty quid plus postage. Now is that a deal, or is that a deal...?!]"


WHERE??

Single sided or double sided?
Can the BlizzPPC take double sided ones?
I'll need some for mine too...

[Jose]

 
Count me in for anything you do. I think we should try to contact him first though, and maybe he has something worth hearing to say, for example tracking numbers for our cards.
I also bought a BlizzardPPC060/240.
Will mail him now...

[Jose]

One important thing that crossed my mind:

There are probably some legal deadlines for complaining that we shouldn't miss.

We don't know him, and everything can still turn out to be ok, but that doesn't mean of course that one shouldn't take some measures.

So as a precaution, If someone can still use that paypal protection thing use it to see what the response is.

BlizzardPPC 060/240mhz + SCSI
300Euro

Ok, maybe better. Wait for the last day till you can use the buyer complaint thing on paypal. I still have 3 days. I mailed him today. I'll also call my bank tomorrow and see if it can still be cancelled. If so, I'll also wait for the last day, then cancel it. I don't think I can still cancel the credit card transaction though, :-( I think it's done at the end of the month...
 But some of you might still do it.
I say wait till the last day. If you have no confirmation of your cards then cancel it.

@x56h34

No. :-) Just be cool. I think there is still good chance that this might work out ok. I'm just suggesting the above measures as precaution, not saying the guy stealed us.
But if I don't get any confiramtion till the last day I'll fill a complaint.
Actually besides each one complaining, we should all gather and contact Paypal together, cause that will have more impact.
But let's hope there is no problem.

@Ryu

You're not being ignored:) I'd like to hear the results of the phonecall too.
But you have to keep in mind that this is probably the only easy way that we have to protect ourselves.
Filing a complaint makes Paypal ask the seller for a proof that he has sent the goods.
Even if he can't do that, the complaint can still be cancelled if we later receive the cards. So he has nothing to lose. But we have!. I do not know how much time passes after he his found to be fraudulent though. But looking at some FAQs in the paypal site the investigation from Paypal can last up to 30 days. There's also probably feedback from the buyer seller and Paypal during that time so we can arrange any mistake.
I really hope this has a cool end..

I do know that if people start complaining some sellers don't like it and that really screw the buyers, but again, this is probably the only easy way to protect ourselves, and I've already sent him an email exaplaining exactly this...I don't think he has anything to lose if he shipped the card and I file a complaint.

Meanwhile please post here any results if someone calls him.
