is he legit

sean1197 · Jun 12, 2010

Hey guys im wondering if charper2013 is a legit seller. He wants to trade me his phenom 2 955 a asus m4a79t and 4 gigs of ddr3 for my qx6850 my dfi p45 mobo my 750i and my ocz ram and a mouse and wants me to ship first. I just want to know if hes legit before i do anything. Thanks guys. Also he has perfect heatware

erocker · Jun 12, 2010

This really isn't the place to discuss this. Heatware is an indicator if someone is "legit" or not.

You have the answer. It isn't quite appropriate do discuss such things here... :rolleyes:

Assassin48 · Jun 12, 2010

perfect heatware doesnt mean anything tbh

I got ripped off by a guy on OCN with perfect heat and good trader rating

It only takes 1 time

sean1197 · Jun 12, 2010

^ this is y i asked cause a smart scammer gets up perfect heat then ripps just trying to be safe

CDdude55 · Jun 12, 2010

Like said, no one here can really help in determining whether or not he or anyone else will rip you or anyone else off.

Remember, he probably wants you to ship first because his thinking the same about you.

EastCoasthandle · Jun 12, 2010

Here's the thing, if it doesn't feel right to you just don't do it. Always go with your gut, non-paranoid, feeling.

3volvedcombat · Jun 12, 2010

This thread probably crushed your cross trade hopes.

I just looked at his heatware

He has dealed with the big players on TPU, and cross traded with them also.

He seems legit.

He has accounts on other forums

And he has high post counts + thanks so if he does rip you, he is sacraficing alot of rep that he has had to get..

so

and TPU is to fun to get banned from right guys !!! :toast:

p_o_s_pc · Jun 12, 2010

I have dealt with him before and had no problems :toast:

sneekypeet · Jun 12, 2010

I sold him something a long time ago, but all I had to do was wait for loot and ship. I really think Eastcoasthandle said it best!

sean1197 · Jun 12, 2010

thanks pos I was just looking for people that have dealed with him before. Lmao dont wanna get ripped outta around 450$ worth of gear

DonInKansas · Jun 12, 2010

Get more info if you're not comfortable. Name, Address, phone number, whatnot. If you don't want to do a deal, then don't. No one has a gun to your head.

yes i was going to do that before i shipped anyways.

thats kind of a deal i cant pass up. Its well worth it. Just doing my research as im always weary about trading online

sean1197 · Jun 12, 2010

the only reason y i asked is cause he had no post at all on [H]

What has that got to do with anthing?

sean1197 · Jun 12, 2010

cause the trade was setup on that forum

Oh. I see.

Kantastic · Jun 12, 2010

~~I'm doing a trade with him soon but I trust this guy. He seems like a nice guy, at least that's what I've perceived from talking to him on AIM this morning.~~

Edit: Something is going on, I've already been in contact with various people. Please cease any trades you have with Charper2013 immediately until further notice.

jellyrole · Jun 12, 2010

Yea, he wants me to ship my X58 board first without pictures(he's in a no-camera situation) of the hardware he would send me. I said no, but that's just me.

DanishDevil · Jun 12, 2010

As of right now, DO NOT TRADE WITH CHARPER2013. I have derived that he is offering the same items to multiple people on this forum, and is working multiple trades with members at the same time, all with no pictures and no tracking (even though he agrees to use tracking). He is asking people to ship first. I agreed to cross-ship, but have not received anything from him, while he has probably received my package by now. I will post in this thread and the Dispute Resolution thread in the BST forum with any updates.

Assassin48 · Jun 12, 2010

He also got me for $20 a while back on a GTA 4 pc game i never got.

the easiest way to avoid stuff like that is to begin small, get something cheap at first and see how it goes.

I have dealt with people with thousands of posts and lots of good Heatware but for some reason some completely forgot to ship or took up to a week or so to ship.

DanishDevil · Jun 12, 2010

He told me that he shipped on Friday morning.

Not to mention that he claimed to have shipped a 60GB OCZ Vertex + i5 750, both items of which he was offering to trade me for some of my FS/FT hardware just this morning.
