Default 944reanimation?

Hello list -

I'm thinking about buying a 944 block from an outfit in CT that goes by "944reanimation" on eBay. Anyone done business with them? The fellow wants cash and I can't pick it up so I'll need to send him a check. 944 blocks don't go for chicken feed so I'm a little wary, it's hard enough to trust someone to send a working block without seeing it, harder still to send a check for a lot of money and hope for the best.

Looking for character references from experienced customers.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Many, many people have had negative experiences with this guy.

He has been banned from RL for a long time.

I will forward this thread to Lart and he will contact you.

Thanks for the information. No need to bother Lart.

Huh? I'm so confused. I have no idea what a "Luser attitude readjustment tool" is. I also have no idea what a "BOFH" is. I also have very little knowledge on Zen Buddhism.

I am so sorry that I have offended you so greatly. I offer my most sincere condolences. I had no idea you would be so sensitive on the subject. I had no intention on hurting your feelings.

I have had some poor experiences with the ebay seller you request information from. Lart is a fellow rennlister and avid poster. He has been outspoken about the ebay seller you mentioned also. Hence the paging Lart request. It was my effort at providing you the information you requested. I will refrain from providing assistance in the future.

Again. So sorry to have triggered such an outburst. Please accept my apologies.

Damn PFC you got to relax guy....

Did you search? This selller has been mentioned before and not with the most positive of reviews. If you can go in person, people seem to have a better experience.

So... You're a Zen Buddhist, yet threaten people? Hmm. Mommy/Daddy issues? Or... insecurities? I think we're going to have to start weekly group sessions.

Seriously though, chill the **** out. We all help each other and make this a good place/community.

What kind of block are you looking for? What are you trying to accomplish? As others have stated, contact USER NAME: Lart951 and he can probably get you sorted out. Where are you located? Someone local might be able to help you out. If you're in Texas I'll be more than happy to give you a hand.

I don't find threats amusing. The last time I asked a simple question on this forum someone decided to tell me I'd be hosed. Frankly I'm a little tired of it. "Lart" and "Lart951" are a little bit different. LART is a term used sarcastically to refer to a moron you'd very much like to screw up, not a term you use without using a smiley face, and it's pretty poor form even then.

BOFH ("Bastard Operator From Hell") is a similarly derisive term used to describe computer systems administrators who like to play practical jokes on users of the systems they maintain.

Dude what the hell are you talking about? I see you freaking out on people in multiple threads and let me be clear, no body knows who you are here, which is less than can be said for most here since we are all pretty close knit and most of us here are have either met each other in person, or know someone who knows someone..so quit freaking out before you know what you are talking about. As mentioned before, lart is a person, and everyone here was just trying to help you.
