Public Service Announcement: AVOID "bobsbid1"

Ah. Bobsbid1. a GENUINE PRICK. He is the guy that taught me that 98% means the guy is probably a crook. He advertised an older "Sniffer". A Toshiba portable. I bought it for $10. Probably cost another $20 to ship - don't remember. When it arrived it ran, but the Sniffer software had been wiped off the hard drive and the NIC was gone. The only thing I got for my money was a sticker on the unit that said Sniffer. We exchanged a few emails. If you think his short feedback messages are crap you should see his emails. Eventually I gave him negative feedback. He retaliated, naturally. I had posted all the emails on a web site and put the URL in my reply to his negative feedback. Turns out that's "against the rules" so he was able to get it wiped. If this guy is not getting purged as a seller then I don't know what it takes. I have learned to read the feedback. Anybody who only gives smartass answers I will not deal with. Honest sellers will have reasonable explanations for what went wrong and some "mutual retractions" where matters have been settled amicably. Gil ...
