I'll post this in FS/T as well.

I posted an offer to buy WinMe in FS/T.
I left my email address because I needed to get back to work, which was fine. I got an offer for WinMe for $40. When I asked if he had heatware credentials, he said all of "yes."
I wasn't all that impressed, so I told him that I wasn't interested.

When he heard that, he promptly came back with "how does $10 sound?" I asked ViperGTS if he wanted a copy, and he said yes. So I asked if this guy had two left, and that I would take them. I also asked for his PayPal account.

His reply was "ah, SIKE! I'm selling them for $40!"
Is this worth finding his screen name and posting a neg heatware eval?

<EDIT>
The guy's email address is &quot;baadsha3@hotmail.com&quot;
I don't know his screen name, but the name given via email is &quot;FireHawk&quot;
</EDIT>

No, to post an eval be it negative or positive, requires the deal to be completed (I.E. Items/money was exchanged by one member or both.)

If he is selling them for that cheap, they may be WAREZ, post his name here, but not at heatware.

The only thing is, I don't know his screen name. I'll post his email address as a warning, but not post a neg eval.

Kinda redundant at this point in time, but since nothing has been exchanged nobody's been hurt. Thus no heatware evals. Remember the situation you had on your first trade? If I remember correctly, someone was threatening negative evals on that. Same situation here.

Post a warning on the forum. If you want to be really cruel, tell Microsoft. If you could give his address, he could get a little letter in the mail from their lawyers, which would be amusing.

That Microsoft suggestion isn't a bad idea...

I've edited the original msg to include email address and pseudo-screen name
