Default Borat

Bought a set of interconnects from me. Paid promptly and communication was very good. Highly recommended.

Default Sold me a nice CMOY

Just received a nice white CMOY that I bought from him. Great communication (PM's, photos, info about shipping, etc.) and I'm delighted with the CMOY. Delivered in great shape, and is just as described.

Thanks!

Default Borat

A++

I just traded an ipod belt clip for some cables. He was very honest and communicated well and frequent, and kept me informed. This belt clip was fragile, and he packed it very well, it got here in perfect shape, just as described.

No worries here...

I modded Borat's EMU 0404 for him.
Communication was clear, friendly and polite and the transaction was completed swiftly. I would not hesitate to do business with Borat again in the future.

I swapped my Shure E4s for Mark's Superfi 5 Pros. He is a pleasure to deal with, especially since this was my first purchase using Headfi and he guided me through the process with full disclosure and helpful information. Highly recommended.

Default An excellent Seller.

Borat has given me confidence again in dealing with the online marketplace. This was my first transaction through Head-Fi, and I couldn't be more pleased or impressed by the service he provided.

Purchased Borat's used go-vibe v2 amp. Swift seller. Communication was great and he was very patient with the million questions I bombarded him with. Very helpful in describing to me any additional information: providing links and pictures related to the purchase of the amp. Amp was packaged extremely well: box with packing styrofoam stuff, boxed amp in bubblewrap. Equipment was in brand new condition upon arrival!

Bottom line: most definately will do business with Borat again in the future should the need arise!!

Default Another transaction

Purchased a Cardas mini to mini interconnect (HPI) and a SiK Din from Borat which arrived today.

Cables came shipped in a 3M Super strong moisture resistant bubbled envelope. Again, great care was put in to make sure the interconnect and the SiK Din would not scratch each other during transport.

Borat answered my messages promptly and had a very smooth transaction.

Two thumbs up for this great seller!


(I know I posted yesterday, but this is a separate transaction.)

Default Borat

I purchased HD650s from Borat. He described the condition of the headphones very accurately, packaged them well to avoid damage, was a great communicator, and was concerned because the headphones took longer to reach me than expected (he followed up on his end by contacting USPS and got them to investigate). Wouldn't hesitate to deal with Mark again....Brian

Borat purchased a custom configured sky blue sandwinder mini v2 cable from me,

went along very smoothly, highly recommended buyer.

I spent a good amount of the meet discussing cables with him and his friend RX-7fan, it was very nice meeting you Borat,

see you at the next so cal meet!

Borat sold me his MrX modded Emu0404 sound card with custom breakout cable. His communication was clear and timely at every turn, I was kept aware of every step on his end. Shipping was prompt and the card and cable were packed very safely. He was also quite happy to share his knowledge and links on the installation process. Very impressive.

I would gladly do business with Borat again.

He noticed I needed a cable and offered me a good deal on an RnB; he sent it pronto and the cable came in a nifty anti-static bag to top it off. Would definitely do business again.
