Comments: Mongrel was great to work with, Shipped it quickly, so that I would have it on time for a trip, and... I never could find that minor mark he mentioned. Definitely would recommend buying from him again!
Ben
This was a perfectly smooth transaction. Ben was great to deal with, no problems whatsover with payment or communication. (I did say that I thought I could get the "minor mark" out )
Put Ben on your "good guys" list.

Great transaction here. Jon sold me his large, unused muslin which came as described. Shipped promptly without any problems. Would buy again from Jon without hesitation.
Seller: 'Surly' (Scott...)
Items: Canon EF-S 10-22 and EF-S 17-85 IS lenses
Great transaction all the way around. Scott's prices were more than reasonable and he was gracious enough to let go of his 10-22 which has been on my 'list' for over a year. Both lenses were as described and work great on my 20D.
Seriously, a good guy to deal with. Shipping was fast, items packed properly, good communication. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with Scott again.

Comment: This is the second time I got something from Rich. He ships quick and so far, all the things I received from him are practically in like new condition. He takes great care of his things. He's a great seller on here. I would def. buy from him again (I just hope he lets me know ahead of time so I can get ahead of the pack!). Thanks Rich for a speedy transaction.
100% positive
Just purchased a lens from Mongrel and I have to say that this transaction could not have gone any smoother. Right from the start he answered all of my questions in a timely manner and once I purchased the lens he was fast to ship. Even emailed the tracking number to me. The lens is in superb condition and was packed great. If you ever have the opportunity to do business with him I would advise you to jump at the chance. thumb

Yeah for THUSIE
Buyer: Thusie
Goods: 19" LaCie CRT
Comments: Thusie is a great member of the forum, a great buyer, and from the sounds of things a really great friend. The monitor was bigger than I remembered (thought it was 17") and I ended up not having a box big enough at home or work and she had no problems with the extra cost it was gonna take to get it packed safely and shipped. Not to mention that even though I shipped it before payment and she coulda stiffed me she still payed the moment she found out the shipping costs. Great person to deal with and she deffinatley restores the faith that there are still some really great people out there.
Yeah thusie
Now lets just hope I'm right assuming she is a she from her name. That could be embarassing.
Even tho' I'm not the one getting the monitor, I have no doubt it is as advertized, I'm leaving positive feedback now.
If someone asked me to try and ship a 19" CRT I would have probably told them..nada. Gary went above and beyond, big thanks again guy!
Would I deal with Gary again,? You bet, first rate.thumbthumb
Purchased the Tokina 28-70mm f2.8 off of Kamik636, and all I can say is that was one flawless transaction, Fastest shipping time and response I could have ever hoped for. Also the lens optics are MINT!
I have 2 month old lenses that look in rougher shape than this lens!

Item : 2 x SanDisk 512CF cards
Comment: Troy was very gracious after I baited him with a question, then changed my mind and deleted the post. When I got back into the thread, he'd already responded to the question I PMed him explaining that I was on my way overseas and thought I'd pick up some cards over there, and he was cool with that.
Then I started thinking that it would be nice to have the cards before I went, and about counterfeit cards and the like, so I PMed him again and asked if he'd still sell them to me He shipped them right away.
Pleasure to do business with, and probably great with kids.
Great transaction, fast payment, great communication. I know spartan123 from some other boards and he has always been a standup guy to deal with. Buy\sell with confidence!
