I have purchased from Timco a couple of times; he's
slow to ship
but okay to deal with. I guess that's an endorsement.
Me and my friend have had a hard time with Timco. He says he will hold a
product until payment gets there, but then he ends up selling a laptop to
someone else that he was supposedly holding for me for one week. I
eventually got a refund, but my friend had the same luck with him, only he
just got a refund for the cost of the item, not shipping.
Buyer beware. Maybe we just had a run of badluck with the guy. I'm not
condemning him for two mediocre deals, just telling it how it is.

Sounds like my luck. I bought three items from him, a 10Base2 Nubus card,
what I understood to be a SE/30 Network Card, and a "Compatible Systems
Etherwrite" (a box for connecting a Appletalk printer to a Ethernet
network).
The Nubus card was 10BaseT, the SE/30 device turned out to be an external
SCSI-to-Ethernet box (actually brand new in shrink wrap and very nice), and
the "Compatible Systems Etherwrite" didn't include the driver disk as it
had been ripped out of some installation. Anyone know where I can get the
drivers (the website has driver updates that expect you to have the
original disk).
I'd also say buyer beware. I might do business with him again, but I doubt it.
