I bought two Xeon X5650 and a Tyan motherboard from user DivineSmack
In his thread he never mentioned about the CPUs being Engineering Samples. If I knew they were ES-es, I wouldn't have bought them in the first place.
So here's the story:
1. I have enough feedback on heatware and RedFlagDeals, but he put me on hold for 5 days until the payment was cleared, so he would finally ship the package.
2. After waiting for almost a week, he said that he finally shipped the package, but it took him one week (after the 5 days waiting to "clear the payment" into his bank account) to give me the tracking number (basically I received it the day before the package arrived). I messaged him a few times, and he kept delaying me, invoking different reasons. Finally, I threatened with Paypal claim, since I had to wait 5 + 7 days to receive a tracking number!
3. He was dishonest from the beginning by not specifying exactly what he is selling. One would understand that he was selling the retail version, which is not true, he had ES CPUs for sale.
4. I offered $1700 for the two X5650 and the motherboard, which I think it was fair for two used X5650 and one used Tyan motherboard. However, these are ES CPUs, which is a different story. I feel that I made a bad deal, after I waited two weeks, I received Engineering Samples, without warranty. He said that I am "blackmailing" him... lol!
I got screwed by receiving Engineering Sample CPUs and I want my money back!
Either full refund and I ship everything back, either $200 refund ($100 per each CPU), which I believe it is VERY reasonable.
Am I right to ask for refund or not? Am I the only one who thinks that I made a "not so great" deal and got screwed a little bit?
