Title: Is there any problem at all with The Real Bob Roberts?
Post by: The cranky hermit on July 24, 2003, 07:28:23 pm: 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.

Post by: zaphod on July 24, 2003, 07:36:53 pm: 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.

Post by: Apollo on July 24, 2003, 07:37:32 pm: 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.

Post by: TheTick 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?

Post by: Pyronious 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.

Post by: paigeoliver on July 24, 2003, 09:08:24 pm: 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!"

Post by: cdbrown 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 ;D

Post by: AlanS17 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.
Title: Re:Is there any problem at all with The Real Bob Roberts?
Post by: SNAAAKE on July 24, 2003, 11:18:09 pm: I bought before...no problem ever ! :)
Cross shipping and all ! ;D
Title: Re:Is there any problem at all with The Real Bob Roberts?
Post by: TrickyFishy 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.
Title: Re:Is there any problem at all with The Real Bob Roberts?
Post by: Malachai 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.

Post by: Chris 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.

Post by: JoeB on July 25, 2003, 10:24:39 am: 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!
Title: Re:Is there any problem at all with The Real Bob Roberts?
Post by: Impostor 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!

Post by: bionicbadger on July 25, 2003, 10:43:21 am: 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!
