He doesn't accept credit cards, so I just want to be 100% sure that he has a good reputation, because there's no way to cancel a check or money order.

He has a fantastic reputation! I don't think I've ever heard a single bad thing about the man. Don't hesitate to use him.

Haha, sorry I've gotta laugh but Bob probably has one of the best reps around. You can rely on him 100%. I would trust him with my first born ( if I had one lol ).
He doesn't except credit cards because he would have to hike his prices by 5-10% which he doesn't want to do ( and you don't want him to either lol ).

Oh, I understand that. I read his FAQ. I'm not suspicious, I'm just trying to remove as much unreasonable doubt as possible.

I've done business with him and was very happy!

I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything in the future!

Only good words to say about him.
Have never heard anything bad.

Good, good. I am going to make my purchases tonight. Wish me luck.

TheTick · « **Reply #8 on:** July 24, 2003, 08:27:11 pm »

I've bought from him and have only one complaint... his website name is pretty lame. Is he a big Slim Shady fan or something?

Pyronious · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2003, 08:30:09 pm »

Just thought I'd put in my $.02 -- I trust Bob as well. Never had a single problem at all.

No way to cancel??? Isn't that what MOs are for, security in purchase.

There isn't a vendor out there that you can trust more than Bob. He is the kind of guy that you could be like. "Hey Bob, can you hold this big bag of money for me until tommorrow, I haven't had a chance to count it yet!"

cdbrown · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2003, 09:39:49 pm »

I was also hesitent in sending a money order from Oz to USA, but as soon as he got it he sent me an email confirming receipt and that the order was on it's way. Much better than other suppliers. He's great

AlanS17 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 24, 2003, 11:09:33 pm »

The website kinda sucks, but oh well... Service makes up for it. Some people say the hunt for parts is half the fun.

SNAAAKE · « **Reply #15 on:** July 24, 2003, 11:18:09 pm »

I bought before...no problem ever !

Cross shipping and all !

TrickyFishy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2003, 05:30:36 am »

I just ordered from him. He is great! I was really pleased with how fast the stuff got here. I will definitely order again from him.

Malachai · « **Reply #17 on:** July 25, 2003, 09:16:25 am »

Nothing but praise here! Sometime he even sends you MORE stuff than you actually ordered/paid for. I don't know any other vendors that would do something like that.

Chris · « **Reply #18 on:** July 25, 2003, 10:02:59 am »

Granted, he doesn't put a lot in his site layout, but the content is fabulous! Many people miss the excelent technical articles on his site, especially the "I want to build a game!" article at http://www.dameon.net/BBBB/buildit.html.

Bob is the best..

it'd be very difficult to find better prices or better service. I sometimes just email him with a question, and he answers back very professionally.

Nice guy!

Impostor · « **Reply #20 on:** July 25, 2003, 10:27:11 am »

Bob is great! Cheap prices, fast shipping! He'll cross ship too once you've done a few smooth transactions with him.

Thanks Bob!

I too have to express my praise for Bob. If I ever need any more parts, I will check Bob's site first. Excellent communication back and forth, fast shipping, cheap, and he throws in free stuff!

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #22 on:** July 25, 2003, 10:46:25 am »

So what you guys are saying is that Bob sux then?

J\k

I plan on ordering from him myself
