Okay, I received a package from "David Zarala", but it only
included the Main/AVG board, and not the Aux board. It was
also missing on of the AM6012 DACs, and was in what I'd
specify as fair but repairable condition; definitely not
worth the $35. His ad was for:
Atari BattleZone PCB set (Main and Aux) stripped of ROMs - $35
(see below for original ad)
I've sent a message to David on my issues with this deal; I'm
not going to cancel my complaint with Paypal unless he honors
his ad. I suspect that PayPal will go ahead and cancel the
complaint since I received a package albeit not as advertised;
something that PayPal needs to change to improve their service.
At this point, I'm just glad I received anything. So deal with
this person at your own discretion.
Best Regards,
John Hermann

Another update; PayPal has forwarded a FedEx tracking number they
received from the seller. The date of shipment was Aug 22nd; a bit
late from what was originally stated, but not unreasonable. I'm
thinking at this point that the seller is probably valid, but gets
overwelled or distracted, and that I may have jumped to conclusions
based on prior postings. I should be receiving the package tomorrow;
I'll update again after I receive the package and inspect the item
(probably in two days).

Here's the latest...
I have just completed filing a complaint with paypal. This is
after emailing "David Zarala" at least 5 times with no responses.
My last email was two days ago explaining that I would be filing
a complaint with PayPal today if I didn't hear from him or if the package
didn't arrive; I guess he didn't care. It does appear that this person
is the well known fraud "David Zavala", so just be aware and keep away from
CSA Arcades in the future. I don't expect to recover any of my money;
I am curious to see what Paypal does about it. If my situation changes,
I'll be sure to post and let everyone.

Okay, here's the deal. I sent paypal payment for the BZ boardset
listed above. The guy was quick to respond to several emails, so
I felt like he was probably okay. He did respond once more to
confirm recept of payment and that the boards would be mailed that
day. I sent another email since, but got no response. This is
way early, so I can't conclude anything, but I'm posting to
inform others about this sales post. The person on the paypal payment
came up as David Zarala. Doing some on-line checking indicates that his
actual name is David Zavala out of Denver who has a history of
ripping people off. I've probably lost my money, but I can at least
warn others. If I receive the boards, I will repost and apolgize to
David for hitting the panic button; but due to the circumstances, I
feel that a warning post should be made.
