My first and only BAD experience buying privately on the internet. I bought the G-tech pro comp he advertised as this:
"Not the 40 dollar 1st Gen Gtech, but the newest model.
Product Site Can be Viewed Here
Nothing is wrong with this product, and it includes everythign including the PC Cable. Product retails 249.99
Im asking 180 shipped OBO"
So I paid for it via paypal. Took a little long on the shipment but not horrible. What I got was a G-tech, bracket and power cord thats it. The bracket is cracked and the windshield mount falls off after 2 days of heat. I DID NOT recieve the PC cable, PC software, manual, or permanet mount bracket. I sent a e-mail the replies were slow but I finally recieved this:
"Jesse, I deeply apologize, my friend packaged the unit for me and shipped
it. I do have the serial cable and manual, I told him to put it in as
well, but he didnt. As for the crack , are you reffering to the piece where
the ball slides in? I got that brand new from Gtech for free and it came
that way? I will ship out the manual and cable. As for the software, it was
outdated, but the new version can be downloaded for free, here
(http://www.gtechprosupport.com/support/ ) . I also updated the firmware
already. Once again, i apologize for this and I will try my best to
rectify the situation for you.
Thanks,
George"
Very apologetic no problem I say, I have read all GOOD reviews on George on this site so I wait. That e-mail was July 15th, its been over two weeks and I have sent a e-mail asking for updates, nothing. Nothing in the mail. I'm disappointed with George, I know people are busy and maybe he couldn't get to the net but its been two weeks, if he was worried he would have found a way. Actually I guess he did find a way, he posted this link on the 26th:

Lets hope George can get re-interested in this transaction and remedy the siutation.
