Public Service Announcement: AVOID "bobsbid1"

[John Boffemmyer IV]

I know exactly the power supply Sellam is describing and talking 
about as I've had to service a few for some mid-size businesses in my area.
Secondly, anyone with a clue would steer clear of a guy with a 
username like bobs bid 1 ... Sounds entirely made-up and fraudulent 
off the bat. Maybe next time the employee will be more careful and 
pay some attention at least?
I too was taken by a schmuck like that a few years back. Paid good 
money for some big boxy hard drives (4-10GB, 5.25, full-height, 10LB 
brick, SCSI's). A--hole who sold them to me (decent ratings, very few 
negatives and did not do more than say, 25-50 sales a week) sent them 
simply wrapped in thin corrugated cardboard and tape (no padding, 
etc). A few pins were bent on one of them, but amazingly, they all 
worked fine with no bad sectors, etc. He even gave me negative 
feedback 2 days after I paid, before I even received the item from 
UPS ground. Again, gotta love eBay.
