Your SPAM for the OverclockerZ store just got you banned.

WARNING: This is the same terrible outfit that has already been banned from these forums.

DO NOT DEAL W/ THEM!
this is the overclockerz store masked. these guys have had a very deceptive past. they may be trying to start out fresh, or just make some more money off of a new name, but they have yet to give any formal apologies for the lies and delays (lied about free gift to customers who received packages late in August).

i looked at the layout and it's damn familiar to that of the overclockerz store. so i dug a little deeper.
check out the support address- fastathlon@uswest.net (that's Ryan's from the Overclockerz Store). This is definately that POS company from before!!
here's the whole scoop on the piece of sh!t overclockerz store:
The Overclockerz Store is suck!
The Overclockerz Store?
WARNING OVERCLOCKERZ STORE...DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

ResellerRating:
Resllerrating of 0! The owner had to stoop so low as posting a good rating for them!

BEWARE OF THE OVERCLOCKERZ STORE! A.K.A. GAME HARDWARE!

I have had nothing but good luck with the OverClockerz Store.
You can't blame a company for wanting to branch out whe they get a taste of
success. I don't care if they are OCZ, if I get in the market for serious gaming
again. I'd give them a try. Doppelganger

I've heard about the bad reputation of the overclockerz store before, and I fired off an e-mail to this new store to see what was up. I'll let you all know about the result later. Really though, I've seen just as many good reports about the store as bad ones, and it would seem to me that more people with bad experiences would respond than those with good ones (just look at the horrible ratings for most stores at resellerratings.com). Hopefully the overclockerz store has cleaned up their act and just changed their name to put the past behind them.

Also note that this comes with free shipping, so 59.99 is really less than you'd pay at the aforementioned 52-55 dollar price watch dealers once you tack on pricewatch vendors' $10 shipping rates. There is always that pesky trust issue though...

I am not sure of what I'm going to say now, but it's just what I've noticed.
I have not once heard a good reply from any senior or higher members on this board about the Overclockerz Store. I have only heard Junior members rant and rave about how great the store is or has been. A while back, Anandtech moderators banned all Overclockerz store accounts because they were promoting their products here under the Hot Deals and For Sale/Trade forums and members of this board were extremely angry at the performance and service record of The Overclockerz Store.
So, I am lead to believe that all the 'great' remarks about the Overclockerz store are for the most part factitious and posted by Overclockerz store employees in hopes of boosting sales.

If you don't believe me, check the other threads for yourself!

Hahahah...wtf....Doppelganger, its interesting that this is your 1st post. Are you the owner of Overclockerz or something?

If you thought overclockerz were reputable before, I suggest you think otherwise. A store that has its employees post positive comments on both resellerrating and here on the bbs is pretty sketchy.

Side Note: The reason they can sell so cheap is because they don't ship for months, so when you finally get your product its value has greatly depreciated. So really, you end up buying a 1200Mhz overclocked T-Bird in September for 300 and by the time you get it in October or November, it is worth 220.

Btw, a doppelganger is a double of a person! So, quite the appropriate name for a shill account where someone's &quot;double&quot; pumps up their own store.

np creme ;)
i had a damn difficult time w/ them and don't want anyone else to experience the same thing.
as i wrote to you in the e-mail before ryan- I am now on a crusade to make sure noone buys from you and that everyone knows of your track record!

that's what the bastards get for sending me a guaranteed duron950 that wouldn't post at 950 or even 900 and that was over a month overdue and whose ordered i had requested to be cancelled! I lost over $100 in the bundle i bought from them because i ended up buying from buy.com and microbarn and had to sell the board and cpu i received from the overclockerz store late. they also never replied to any of my e-mails, ever!
had they had the decency to apologize and reimburst me my money in exchange for the board and cpu, i would have thought them to be a company that got in over their heads. instead, i believe them to be coniving bastards that wish only to steal your money and provide you w/ the worst service(s) possible.

i'm going to stop here because i am getting angry again.
