Hi,

This message is for all cpu collectors:

Please! Dont buy to a person on ebay which ID is:

hi-tekjoe
(jospwrs@aol.com)

I have never seen a more unkind person like this, I bought a FPU Intel 80287-3 from this person, and he sent me a inservible cpu, lot of bent pins, real bad status, not good, very expensive cpu (Total: $16) and not good status.
The packed cpu came fron "Techno-Recovery Inc" so take care!

Regards, to all collector.

Gennadiy, what do you think of making a sticky thread where we could all post our bad experiences on eBay or other? It could be useful to everyone.

Hi to all collectors,

About a few hours I posted my bad experience on the forum, the money from Techno-Recovery was refunded, I think because I wrote them an email asking for a explication to the problem.

The cpu has lot of pins that can't be repaired, I mean that trying to leave the cpu in a good state it's impossible, because some pines are totally broken, so I think that this it's a bad experience. I'll write to this person to show him my position and if we wants to return the cpu.

Minuteman, I think that it's a good idea to make a new thread to help people to talk about problems bying/trading cpus. I think that "General discussion" is a good place, or a new thread like "Problems Trading/Buying".
Let me know Gennadity what you think.

Regards to all collectors,

It's your forum, you decide

I vote to use "General Forum" to post problems related to trading/buying problems.
Let me know what u think.
