Me three: Larry has always been a great guy to deal with. I recall that
one time
he forgot to ship something, and once I brought it to
his attention he
apologized
profusely and upgraded the shipping at his own
expense.
Stuff does happen in people's lives, and I would bet that your negative
experience was an oversight. -- Ian
May be, but at the moment all his neg's are about not shipping items..
Everybody can make mistakes, that's not the problem, but not reacting on
emails well that's what pissed me.
You know I really liked to have the items, and like I said I was very
patient in everything...

In defense of Larry, I've done a boatload of business with him over the years or so, and know him personally. Larry deals
with this merchandise
for the
money, not love of old computers, and can drive a hard
bargain, but I've
always
known him to be a decent fellow. He's been in the
minicomputer
sales/service/legacy support business for many years, and takes pride in
being
more than a hi-tech junk dealer, even though
there's not much left of the
product lines he supports. He has aggressively downsized his business in
the last
couple of years, and disposed of most of his inventory
already. The
facilities are
not what they used to be, and the business is, AFAIK,
a one-man show at
this
point. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a bit
less organized and on top of
things as
before, but you likely experienced an isolated
incident. I certainly
wouldn't
hesitate to do business with Larry again.
