Product As Advertised: Almost
Shipped Quickly: Yes
Customer Service: Good
These speakers usually run around $80, so getting them for less than $30 ($42, after shipping) was a good deal.
They were advertised as “refurbished” but the subwoofer casing shows damage from whomever owned them previously. It doesn’t seem to affect the performance of the speakers, but I consider “refurbished” to mean you would fix any visible defects.
Also, they were packaged in a used box, without original packing materials, documentation, etc. That’s fine, but again, “refurbished” would suggest they were in something approaching factory condition.
Nonetheless, they arrived quickly, work fine and were cheap, so I guess it’s a wash. I would probably buy from this vendor again.

Customer Service: Good
I won this auction late on Friday, May 16 and paid (as I always do) immediately after winning. That meant the weekend went by without shipping; the item actually went out on May 20, the Tuesday following the auction.
The game also arrived with a sizable gash in the USPS mailing box — a gash that went through the box and into the game, damaging the game box bottom fairly significantly.
I suspect the damage was done by the USPS, but generally speaking, they owe up to damaging your mail by leaving a note. They don’t compensate you for damaging the mail, but they do tell you they did the mangling.
That wasn’t the case here.

Product Purchased: ASL Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kit #3 Tanks MMP AH (320251556165)
Product As Advertised: Yes
Shipped Quickly: Yes
Customer Service: Good
This is a collection of rules, counters and assorted necessities to get a player up to speed on the Advanced Squad Leader game system. It was reasonably priced and shipped fairly quickly.
But the feedback comment this vendor left for me — “A posative transaction- good ducky & ok thank you. we are happy to be of service” — is not only misspelled, it’s nonsense.
I really hate that, and for that reason, I will not use this vendor again.

Sixth Fleet is a war game about 1980s naval action in the Mediterranean. It’s a bit complex to play and pretty much theoretical.
This game was exactly as advertised, shipped quickly and well-packaged. I would definitely use this vendor again.

Product Purchased: A World At War 2003 by GMT NIB (370046238693)
Product As Advertised: Yes
Shipped Quickly: Yes
Customer Service: Great
This is arguably the ultimate War board game: nearly 3,000 counters and 12 square feet of mapboards covering the entirety of World War II. This game is also out of print and, according to GMT Games, its maker, will remain so for at least two years.
I had previously bid $175 for an opened copy of this game and lost, so this auction was a real find. The vendor was responsive to my additional payment for first-class postage and insurance; and he shipped the item quickly and well-packed.
I couldn’t be happier with the purchase or vendor. If Wisconsin wasn’t a million miles away, I’d visit his store. As it is, he’s added to the favorite sellers list. I’ll definitely buy from him again.
