I just got off the phone with Jesse at Cypress. He
said he did not post
the
gold and tantalum items on ebay. It is someone else,
trying to cast a bad
name on him.
Sorry, but this doesn't really check out. Jesse sent an email to the list,
original subject 'Hewlett-Packard 3000, 9000, Itanium (HP-UX & MPE/iX)
Servers, Storage Arrays, Replacement Parts, Maintenance, & Disaster
back-ups' and put his email and website in the message. Going to that
website, cypress-tech.com, we can go to the 'ebay store' page where the
apparently official ebay store of Cypress Tech is linked to. Following the
link, http://stores.ebay.com/Cypress-Technology-Inc we see that this is the
same seller as the original gold scrap ebay link,
https://www.ebay.com/itm/382505855460
Here is the list of reasonable possibilities that I can think of:
- Somebody sent a fake email, from a fake Cypress-Tech.com, and made a fake
ebay page with the sole purpose of defaming this person (I'll admit, not
entirely out of the realm of possibility if there were someone with a
grudge against him)
- Jesse does not maintain full exclusive control over the ebay store, and
one of his coworkers/employees have posted the gold scrap auctions without
his knowledge (I suppose this is possible)
- You've been lied to, or otherwise you made a mistake
Please correct me if I've made an error somewhere, and please don't take
this as a personal attack of any kind. I don't have any interest in this
matter really, but my BS detector was showing a reading, so I checked it
out a little deeper and that's what I found.
Best Regards,

Seems weird, I fully agree. But that is what he told me, so I passed it on.

Sorry, but this doesn't really check out...
*snip*
With regards to my last message, I should also note that I did notice the
ebay auction shipping locations do not all match the location listed in
Jesse's email. This is interesting at least, but then some auctions do
match land o' lakes, FL
Does Cypress-Tech have multiple locations?

I recently bought an HP A-Series CPU board from "jmann23". The
listing said the item location was
Clearwater, Florida. The FedEx tracking showed that it originated in
Pittsburgh, PA.
The board arrived as described, passed the 24612A CPU diagnostics, and
booted RTE-A, no problems.
Did I care that it was shipped from PA instead of FL? No.

Holly smokes... 1st, Cindy thanks for calling me and
vouching for me on
this list but let me clear something up here....
A. the ebay ads are mine and I put all content up there.
B. there reflects different locations (Largo, Clearwater, Land o lakes)
all around the Tampa area. We have been in that area since about 1995
and address have changed several times because we have moved .
C. The ebay ads are not all corrected with the current address since I
didn't thing that was going to be any kind of issue ever. I have like
400 running ads and you have to individually correct each one.. again, I
really never and up until this moment thought it was ever an issue since
selling on ebay since 1997.
D. some of the older 1k and older board ship from Pittsburgh because
thats where I split my time between Tampa and Pittsburgh and the really
old stuff is in Pittsburgh.
E. I never even posted my ebay stuff on here, I did an intro and posted
some stuff I was looking for.. Heck, I never even contributed to the
ebay thread.
Jesse
Thanks for clearing that up.
I guess the only real complaint we have with respect to the ebay thread is
that stuff is making it to the scrap pile at all, but I do acknowledge not
everything can be saved, and you are running a business after all.
That said, if it's not too much trouble, I think it would be nice if you
check a few places (like here) before things go to the scrap pile. On the
off chance that some 'scrap' is worth more than scrap-value to someone, I
think it'll work out better for all of us.
