Thumbs down **Beware of SCAMMER Mardigrasmax!!!

just wanted to warn everyone not to deal with this guy. He sold me a part (VB upgrade) that he knew didn't work. I've tried emailing him to resolve this but he just ignores me. Real class act

I would have been leery dealing with someone with a forum name of Mardigrasmax.

He has been around for a long time even on maxima.org. But I heard from others that he has screwed other people as well.

Hey newb . . . normally, I don't waste bandwidth responding to someone who has 23 posts in this forum. But let me clue you in on a feature here in this forum called iTrader rating. Since you have a "0" rating and I have "21" (with 100% Positive Feedback), you tell me who is more trustworthy.

I rest my case . . .
