Write your reply.

assistant: Frank, if you can get to the Usenet Message Groups, you can find 72 pin 4
meggers as low as 5 bucks each.  I just purchased 2 non EDO 4 meggers for
$12.60.  As far as the 30 pinners, you are not so lucky on those prices.
Some people seem to think they are still worth what they were a year ago.
You have to look hard, but you WILL find some VERY good deals out there.
You may want to act as quickly as possibly when it comes to memory though.
Since the Korean Economy has taken a dump, it's projected that memory prices
could jump as much as 40% within the next month.  I just got done playing the
"Hunt for memory" game and found that the lowest prices in the USA belong to
a man in Texas.  His name is Felipe of La Plaza Sales Inc.
His number is (956) 542-0536.  I just picked up two 16 meg Non-EDO 60ns Simms
for $49.00 from him.  Check him out.  And be sure to mention my name and that
I quoted these prices to you.  BTW, I am not on his sales staff either.  I
live in Ohio.  I was just VERY please with the way he deals with his
customers, not to mention his prices.
Hope this helps you or anybody else that reads this!

Write your reply.

assistant: * Crossposted from: National For Sale Echo
Steve,
I just received your "package" today and can only hope one thing.  That there
is another package on the way.  What I received is not what I paid for.  I
really hate to sit here and pitch a bitch, but I'm going to.
If needed I will dig out the original messages, as I save a months worth.
What I ordered are the following.
1 - 486 VLB Motherboard without CPU
1 TRIDENT 1 meg ISA Video Card
1 SoundCard/CD Rom combo w/ drivers
1 IDE/IO card W/ ports.
What I received in my "package" today was this:
1 PARADISE Video Card - Judging by the blocked out portion of the card, I
assume 256k or 512k at most.
1 Sony SoundCard/CD ROM with no drivers
NO MOTHERBOARD
NO IDE CARD WITH PORTS
If there is another package on the way, that's cool.  If not, we better hash
this thing out.
First off, I am a technician and know what a Trident 8900c series video card
looks like.
Secondly, I had noticed that even after you received my money order and
confirmed that the package was on the way, you still listed my parts for
ale.
Your name is still good in my book, assuming you have an explanation for why
this happened.
I do not and will not accept the fact that things were left out and one thing
was replaced with another lower quality part.
It doesn't matter how good of a deal I got.  NONE.  The fact is, you entered
into an agreement on certain parts that were named and agreed to by both
parties.
I met my end of the obligation.  You didn't.  That is not a good way of doing
business.
This can be kept at the "Resolution Stage" for now.  Or it can be handled in
different manners.
