Hi guys,

I have made contact with someone from the Classifieds, Jacques Benson.
I am trying to buy a case and 500W from him.

Only problem is he lives in Bloem and I live in Durbs.
by the way, can anyone vouch for him?

Any suggestions on how i should pay him - I want to be as safe as possible. Is there any way i could some sort of pay on delivery thing?

cheers

You pay via EFT or go directly to the bank and pay.
You should pay for courier as well.
He should then package it properly and send it too you along with tracking number.

From personal experience on myADSL classifieds, I've never had problems with people.
I pay upfront for the goods and they send it off generally the following day.

Generally, a decent post count is a good indicator of the sellers/buyers you can trust.
 
hi

problem is i put an ad in classified saying i wanted to buy a case and he contacted me so i cant check his count or watever. he contacted me on email so im not sure. What if i deposit the money into his account and then he just doesnt deliver it? then im screwed?

I usually only pay people once I have the product in my possession. Maybe arrange that you'll pay him once you have the case, and he can witness the payment?

Yip, screwed. Sounds fishy to me ;)

How much is he charging for the case & 500watt PSU?

Try www.bidorbuy.co.za, but check the Seller's rating before you buy :)

Hi



Okay I have got a case that I want to sell it’s quite a nice case and it comes with a 500w PSU thinking in the range of say R400?



Pics attatched...



Sorry for the bad pics

Hi

No unfortunately I live in Bloemfontein, I can courier it to you but it
might get a bit pricy then with the size of it, I've got a old motherboard
and a AGP graphics card I'm trying to sell as well if your maybe interested.
The R350 is fine, let me know if your still interested.

I just posted the emails one after the other - he sounds real?
 
ok heres last mail

Hi no it's fine

Okay I bought the case from www.computersonly.co.za it's a Luiquidsilver
product but it's like their own house brand so it's almost impossible to
find it on the net believe me I tried, I'm very happy with the case though
no problems or any broken bits (thank goodness).

Okay the specs I can give you is as follows, it's a pretty standard case no
lights or such but it does have two 80mm fans that come with it one in the
front by the HDD bays to keep things cool and one at the back too, it has 7
X 3,5" bays (1 for stiffy and one for memory card reader or such) then 2 X
5,5" bays at the top for optical driver and 2 X 5,5" internal for whatever
lol, Expansion slots at the back you got 7 of. It's a screw case (screws
included for basics) and yeah that's about what I can tell you don't have a
measuring tape with me for dimensions thought (sorry my Bad) it's quite a
big case with nice ventilation one thing that can be added is a 3rd fan at
the side small mesh with a cpu tube thing. I'm including 2 pics on of the
internals and one from the front (sorry for the dust Bloemfontein is very
dry ;-) I will have it cleaned don't worry)

Okay about the courier thing it's fine your age doesn't matter if you want
it delivered to your house they don't really care who signs for the package
as long as there is someone there. I'll be able to only get you a price
quote in next week when all the businesses reopens. Think it shouldn't be
more than a R100 at most. I will let you know, as for payment a bank deposit
is fine with me lol I'll post as soon as I get cash into my account.

Let me know if there is anything else you might want to know.
