Deal Thread URL: https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?threads/antminer-s9-13-5t.384298/
Seller: @Modo
Buyer: @Star_22
Description of Bad Deal:
This is a deal we did last year around September. I believe I have been very lenient and accommodating and I am posting it now because he has stopped replying regarding the payments of the refund we agreed to and just letting all other members to be aware of this when dealing with him.
12 September 2021: I saw the Carbonite sale thread and sent him a WhatsApp message and he told me he has 4 of them. I was purchasing these on behalf of someone else so after some negotiating and arranging of meeting up time etc. I deposited 10k into his account, remainder 10k upon collection. 14 September 2021: I collected the 4 Antminers on 14 September 2021 and EFT'd the remainder of the funds. When I got home and started testing them I had problems removing previous account etc. and logging in due to incorrect password he gave me and finally when I got 1 of the Antminer machines to work from the 3 hashboards it has only 2 hashboards were working. Image proof of this was sent.
18 September 2021: I had more time to test and play around with the clock speeds starting from low and going up but still struggling to get them to work properly and then I sent image proof of 3 of the machines exhibiting the same issue of only 2/3 hashboards working. Only 1 Antminer from the 4 worked 100% properly.
19 September 2021: I asked him for an update to see how we can sort this out. He said there is a repair guy he knows and will fix the machines, usually within a week if nothing major. He said he will cover the repair costs. I asked him if it takes longer than that can we agree on refund for the 3 machines and he agreed.
20 September 2021: Courier collected the 3 machines to take to the repair guy.
30 September 2021: I was told the repair guy battled getting rid of a virus which infected the 3 machines. He asked for more time as it was a firmware issue and not hardware.
2 October 2021: There was no update so I asked him if we can start the refund process.
5 October 2021: He sent me update saying he is waiting for funds to clear and will pay what's due to me.
11 October 2021: I received 50% of the funds and he told me he will send other half as soon as more funds clear.
17 October 2021: I ask for update he said he will settle remainder during the week.
28 October 2021: Received R4000, R3500 left
30 November 2021: Received R2000, R1500 left
--- Few more months of me keeping on asking for updates and when will I receive the funds and I keep getting excuses and deadlines that are not met.
7 April 2022: Received R1000, R500 left
--- More months passing by, more I am promised dates and days that come and go but alas no funds received. He reads my messages on WhatsApp since last month but doesn't reply anymore.
