Firewire 400 HDD 3.5" enclosure. Flat silve top and bottom, carbon/charcoal sides. INcludes FW400 cable and power cable. $15 pending: Abit667

40GB Maxtor HDD. It's brand new, more or less. Pulled it from the eMac when I upgraded the HDD. or by itself for $22 shipped. sold: USAComp2k3 @ TechReport forums

USB 2.0 card. 4 ports external and 1 internal: $10 shipped sold: discotronic

5-port Netgear 10/100 switch. I was using it with my crippled DSL router (it had 2 ports die) but I replaced the router so I no longer need this. I'll throw in a 6' Cat5 cable. $15 shipped. sold: danielmiller82

USB1.1 ZIP 250 w/4 ZIP250 disks. These things are a great backup device for smaller files. Haven't looked online, but it retails at Staples for $130, I'm sure it's less elsewhere. Asking $30.

I'd like the FW400 3.5" enclosure. YGPM.

Replied. Sale pending.

blaze6257 · Apr 3, 2005, 05:37 PM

omar96 · Apr 3, 2005, 08:06 PM

sorry blaze6257, the enclosure is sold. If I had another, I'd stick the HDD in that, though.

Big-J-Dubb · Apr 3, 2005, 08:25 PM

check you PMs...

omar96 · 09:44 PM

danielmiller82, I replied to your PM.

edit: the CD-RW can be either internal or external...it's in an enclosure (USB2.0 and FW400) that it just dawned on me...I won't be using it anymore when the drive sells.

omar96 · Apr 4, 2005, 12:07 PM

payment received for the 10/100 switch.

post has been updated to give options for the CD-RW, either internal or external with USB2.0 cable and AC cord included.

I'll take the USB 2.0 card. How do you want to be paid?

payment received for USB2.0 card

omar96 · Apr 6, 2005, 02:48 PM

OS X 10.3.5 pending

discotronic · Apr 17, 2005, 06:30 PM

I still haven't received the USB card. I know I'm not the only person to not receive my item that has been paid for. Please answer my emails or PM me.

discotronic · Apr 18, 2005, 09:29 AM

I have tried to contact omar96 a few times. I also posted on the TechReport forums. He refuses to contact me about the USB card. I went ahead and file a complaint with PayPal. I would advise people to stay away from this person.

Abit667 · Apr 18, 2005, 10:49 AM

I think he might have been away or something, I was wondering about my firewire enclosure, but I contacted him yesterday and he said he just got it sent out.

danielmiller82 · Apr 18, 2005, 11:14 PM

I paid for the Netgear 10/100 switch on April 4th and haven't heard from him since...His profile shows that he did visit the site yesterday...If I don't hear from him soon, Im reporting him

Steve · Apr 20, 2005, 09:40 PM

omar96 - an explanation and update is in order. Your heatware doesn't lead me to think of you as a shady trader, but if this does not get resolved ASAP I will have to pursue it further.

danielmiller82 · Apr 21, 2005, 06:56 AM

Omar...just so you know... if people initiate a chargeback on the paypal accounts, the seller will have to pay $10 per chargeback. If everyone who hasnt heard from you yet paid via paypal, that looks like you could be charged $30 in Paypal fees... just send the items or return the money.

Abit667 · Apr 22, 2005, 04:02 PM

I still havn't recieved anything even after he pmed me on sunday saying he shipped it usps priority that day. I've never had anything shipped usps take that long, it's obvious this will never show up.

I don't understand why with decent heatware and a bunch of posts on here he'd go and scam a bunch of people out of $10-$15 items...

discotronic · Apr 22, 2005, 04:13 PM

You might want to check over at TechReports also. The Mods over there looking into him ripping off some of the members that are registered there. I registered and contacted one of the Mods who is trying to help out. Also, you should really check into trying to get your money back through PayPal or from the money order you sent.

cvillecomputers · Apr 22, 2005, 04:16 PM

I have not received my item also and have had no replies.

danielmiller82 · Apr 22, 2005, 10:41 PM

I just filed a Claim at the Paypal resolution center. Hopefully they can help.

That's the best idea right now. I haven't had any luck contacting omar96.

discotronic · Apr 28, 2005, 03:13 PM

I finally got a refund from omar96. I had to go through PayPal and the Mods at TechReports. He never even bothered to contact me. A very bad person to deal with. I hope everyone else gets their transactions taken care of.

Abit667 · Apr 28, 2005, 05:22 PM

Mine was a money order so I doubt I'm getting anything back. What an asshole.

danielmiller82 · Apr 28, 2005, 10:26 PM

i got my money back too...I hope that they charged the bastard a big fee

You can put a track on the money order if you still have the receipt. The post office can tell you if it was ever cashed. If I where you I would register at TechReports and report it the the moderator Dposcorp on the Bargain Basement forum. I doubt that I would have got my money back as soon as I did without his help. It seems that he ripped a few people off recently. With the money order receipt you have proof that you paid for the item. Let the mod know that you where directed to the TechReport forums from omar96's posting here.
