Description of Bad Deal:
Posting here as a list resort, think im being more that patient with said seller and this has gone on long enough and seller not responding!
I made a deal with @OddballZA for a H55 combo and 2x quad CPU's, paid (26 July) and he shipped!
I received (31July) and noticed no Quads were sent, messaged him straight away and he said he forgot them in bakkie and will send them with postnet...
(4 Aug) still hadn't heard anything so asked again what happening, he said sorry he is busy and with ship with @ichigo and send waybill, (7 aug) when i tracked it waybill number he gave me said "cancel as per acc holder" so contacted him and told him and he said he will look into it!
(8 Aug) got response that he cant get hold of him and to make all this right he will refund quads price and still ship off the cpu's and i would score as i'm getting the Cpu's for free (as i told him i'm not wanting a refund i'm needing the cpu's that's why i bought them)
Also noticed the Cpus were sold to @ Nossie, when i asked about this, seller said no he has more of the same
Received the refund for CPu's few days later(diff banks) and gave some time for seller to ship cpus

(17 Aug) asked seller what is happening on shipping being almost 10 Days later, read message no response
(18 Aug@11:37) send a ? to remind him to get back to me, read and no response

I'm tired of this now, very poor com's from @OddballZA even though he is on carb daily!
 
Hi,

I think importantly what @cronos did not mention was that he accepted the refund and my goodwill gesture to still ship the CPU's. Proof of payment attached:

ACCOUNT INFO REMOVED

He also considered taking a mobo as replacement instead of the CPU's, as per whatsapp convo below, and ended up opting for the refund:

[10:53, 8/8/2020] Cronos Carbonite: 👍🏼

Yes I did offer to still send the CPU's as a gesture of good faith, which I did. I have been on site working on an urgent project and have not had time to respond to Whatsapp message of "?" which was sent to me today at 11:37. Now a bad deals thread?

@mods you can close this, seller clearly doesn't want to make this deal right and i've being patient and given him a chance to stick to his word and ship the items!
Clearly his idea to make this deal right is just to leave it!
and i quote Seller as per whatsapp screenshot attached:
"No ,im prepared to refund you and still fix the cpus
I'm not a shady fly by night operator,and i want to make right by you..."

Feedback done!
