update
The original post found here has been temporarily suspended while the seller in question sends me a new laptop in an effort to fix the situation (this is the laptop I bought originally a month ago but never received). We have spoken on the phone and we are both taking a leap of faith in the other; he says he will send another laptop out today and I have said that I will remove the original post that outlines the problems I had with him and the claims I am filing. He has also promised to send the laptop out by courier so it will arrive EARLY next week. If it does not arrive in a timely fashion I will re-enstate the post and will continue to expose the seller and his bad practices.
In the meantime I will make one more leap of faith that he is a man of his word. If he does what he just said he will this website will disappear forever.
