I think i should speak out now.. Here's how the deal went earlier..
We agreed for a price of 3.1K shipped & deposited the money in his gf's acc.. He was maintaining a good communication level till then. But as soon as is sent him the confirmation that i've made the payment, he stopped responding.. I assumed he was busy (but what made him busy just after the payment was done is unknown).. asked him a 1000 times to pack it properly & send all the accesories that came along.. After sending the courier he sent a PM to me asking to leave a +ve iTrader rating for him & said he left one for me, but i didnt recive any!!! I asked him to send the mobo that evening itself.. But he delayed it for a day saying that there was heavy rain there in mumbai (wether was all fine till i made the payment, but suddenly..) He sent the mobo in a small thin green box that comes inside that white box. Which needless to say is non protective, moreover he didnt pack it properly, the only packing for the mobo inside was that antistatic bag.. Do i say anything more of how i would get the mobo after transit??.. My friend who accompanied me to the courier office for picking the courier said "that mobo would have been mobo chops by now!!".. I think enough is said about his quality of packing (The reason he told for this was, dtdc wont accept his package with that white box since its big!!,, anybody want to belive this??).. When i opened the box back home, i found almost half of the capacitors in the mobo were bent & same with the perpendicular battery slot!!!.. I was almost sure the board was dead.. Moreover he didnt send the all important back i/o plate, upon calling him & asking about that he said that there was no back i/o plate with the board!!! Upon installing & booting, i found the board was dead!!.. It was not booting, no signs of life anywhere when i power on.. I immeditaly called him & he told me that it shud be the problem of the SMPS iam using & that mobo will support on a CM 650W SMPS (which costs almost twice the price of the mobo!!!) & wont boot on any other SMPS.. I've tried three diff SMPS, two sets of ram & two procs with that board (iam still using all of those till now & are working perfect).. The result was all the same.. Again he insisted that i shud buy a CM 650W to make that mobo work.. I was already fed was hearing all these crap & morevoer he started accusing me that i've damaged the mobo (FYI this is not the first time iam assembling & iam an experienced hand in this), i had enough, i couldnt control the raising of the pitch of my voice (i NEVER used a foul word though), by this he started showering all kinds of nasty words (which i dont want to say here) finally i've made him agree to give a refund (minus the shipping cost) which he'd give after i send it back to him.. I've sned it to him in the same box with same packing via the same courier service & it cost me 150rs.. He got it after two days & after getting it he told that he has given it to a local service center & they told that 4 capacitors were blown in that mobo & he replaced it at a cost of 1000rs (Does anyone want to belive this??).. Finally he gave me back 2700rs (i paid him 3100rs), ie he charged 400rs for shipping, while it cost me just 150rs to ship the board back to him!! During the time all these were happening, i was having a very tight work schedule & cudnt get enuf time to report to mods & follow up to.. Moreover he closed the sale thread so that i wont post any comments there!!.. I brought a new mobo locally & closed the chapter there.. I know i had some financial loss & lot of mental pressure, but i was not in a position to follow up..
Mr.Jesal, I want you to answer the following questions of mine:
1) Why didnt you send the courier with proper packing even when i asked you specifically for it.
2) Why didnt the courier guys accept the board in that white box (original packing), is that that large. FYI i've sent even large packages to even distant places with lesser cost via the same service.
3) Why did you try to fool me to giving you a +ve iTrader rating while the item was in transit by saying that you've left one for me. If you've left one, where is it??
4) Where was the back i/o shield.. I cant belive your answer of "there was no i/o shield with the board". All mobos come with a back i/o shield..
5) Why did it suddenly start to rain in there & you becoming too busy after i made the payment. You were all free & weather was fine before that..
6) Why would tht mobo work just on a particular SMPS that costs twice the price of that mobo?? Why does that mobo hte to work on other (& better) SMPS.
7) Did it cost you 400rs to send it to me? It cost just 150rs to send it back. I still hv the slip for which i sent to you to prove myself..
8) If you've replaced that capacitors in tht mobo (for which you've said cost 1000rs), then how come you send it to RMA??
9) Why did you close the thread immediatly after i made the payment??
10) What exacly you mean by "i fried the mobo"??. I've taken proper care & caution (as i do always) while installing the mobo, & if its still not working, it should be that the mobo's bad..
It was your damn bad packing that damaged the mobo, not me.. OK?? I DIDNT DAMAGE THE MOBO, IT WAS YOUR BAD PACKING THAT DESTROYED IT during transit.. You've cheated ME.. Whatever you say, its the truth..
