Nothing for sale- Seller Review

Like the title says, I'm not selling anything, but would like to review my first ever experience buying something from a guy over the internet.

A while back, I bought a video capture card from Shahani. It arrived very quickly and well packaged. However, when I put it in my system, my system refused to recognize it. Shahani pointed me to some updated beta drivers, but they didn't work either. I thought maybe it was my install of windoze, but it didn't work with a fresh install either.

I e-mailed the tech support for the company that makes the card and got an answer- the card I had was an OEM model designed to work with a specific machine. There's no way to tell unless you try to install it in a different machine though. They pointed me to other beta drivers. These got my machine to recognize the card, but the software wouldn't start. (Gave me an 'incorrect hardware' message.) I e-mailed their tech support three more times, but was ignored.

I got back in touch with Shahani and let him know what was going on. He sent me a refund right away. I'd like to publically thank Shahani for making my first internet purchase from an individual a good one, even though the item didn't work.

Thanks Shahani!

Congrats to both of you as well. Shahani is a good guy to work with! I just recently purchased something from him and it was exactly what I wanted.

He is a good guy and I would never hesitate to trade/buy/purchase from him in the future.

I think an IBM. The card is still with Ruler2112 who offered to send it back but I told him to keep it and not waste postage. If you want it, send Ruler a PM.

Actually, the trash guys took it away this morning... didn't think that anybody might want it.
