I have had a very bad experience with sammyslave1, I
bought two items an
extended mass storage rom for the HP9845 and a HP-IB interface for my HP
9830A. I always pay instantly with paypal, when I contacted the seller about
my items after a week or three I didn't get an answer, I waited another week
and another email no answer.
I have been going back and forth with Larry since January 3rd, trying
to get my order shipped (not through Ebay, but paid through Paypal). He
never answers email, so I end up calling him every couple of weeks. Each
time, he tells me my box is ready, and just needs to go to UPS. He tells
me he's added a few more thing that I'm looking for, but it never actually
ships.
During my last call, he told me that he might be able to get an HP
12821A board I wanted from one of his associates. To his credit (Larry),
he did call back and told me that his friend had the board, and I actually
received it. But from Larry, nothing, for going on 4-1/2 months. This is
like trying to order an Altar 8800 from MITS back in the day.
