My Experience With Anthrax
« on: August 10, 2003, 11:19:00 PM »

well i met this guy and got to know him a bit over AIM.  he had a set of Madcatz guns.  

we agreed on a price of 15 USD per gun.
i wanted these guns of course for HOTD 3.  BOTH, for me and my buddy, one gun would be of no use to me.

so anyways,
he was happy to have two retail hdds for two guns instead of cash.. each being the worth the approximate value.

i tell him i only have one 8 gig hdd at the moment but another 10 gig seagate will be in my hands in about 5-7 days
Anthrax is oh k with sending both guns to me and waiting for the second hdd to come within the next couple of days (very nice of him indeed).
so we both agree to ship out at the SAME TIME.  

so i send off my one retail hdd. and wait for the guns.
waiting waiting.
waiting
waiting

i ask him on aim  
"where are the guns and have you received the hdd?"

and he says, "yes i've received it"

all's good, guns should be coming soon.
i get the 10 gig seagate and pack it up for shipment, postage all ready to go,
but i was hesitant, kinda hoping to have the guns in my hands before sending. the other hdd.

i call him up on aim
and this is what i found out!!!!!!

Anthrax did NOT send the guns out like he said. he kept them till he received the first hdd.  
and to add insult to injury, he only sent out ONE!!!! gun the day after he received my first hdd.

then he proceeds to tell me,
"i dont' want your other hdd anymore, and i've given away the other gun to my sister"

BLOODY friggn hell!

so i'm currently waiting for the 1 gun in the mail, and wasted shipping money on the other hdd.
i do not recommend dealing with him.  
i think the following quotes say enough about his  character:

SmUrFsHaVeHeRpEs: im sorry....
SmUrFsHaVeHeRpEs: i know i lied ive lied alot lately and its getting outta hand and i realize that


SmUrFsHaVeHeRpEs: i am usually a good guy i just have a habit of lying
SmUrFsHaVeHeRpEs: :-/

****
edit
****

sorry anthrax man.
gotta let the people know so this kinda stuff won't continue

I havent delt with him directly, but ive heard alot of people complain.  I think something should be done about that. (sorry if I sound mean/abusive)

i think he bid on an item i was selling and i was very relieved that it was not a serious bid...he has an EXTREMLY poor reputation for deals around here, I would never deal with him.
