    I have been dreading posting this review, however I feel I have been given no choice.

    I contacted FLimits in May of this year regarding some vintage computer equipment I had. During the next four months we had many discussions via email, text, and phone about this equipment as well as some “new” vintage equipment that had come into my possession including an extremely rare Apple Lisa 2/5 computer. FLimits agreed to market and sell this rare and valuable computer (as well as a few other items) on her eBay account for me. I in turn would send her many of the vintage computer parts I had for free.

    On August 10th The Apple Lisa computer sold for $1575.00 and many of the other parts sold for much smaller sums of money.

    Detailed listing of that computer is here but it’s about to hit “90” mark and expire.

    Many of the items received positive feedback and no problems were reported. FLimits told me on more than one occasion that the funds had cleared and we will “settle up our accounts”. Throughout the month of September she became less responsive to any attempt I made to communicate with her. I have tried to be patient because I was aware she was in the middle of a big move however it’s been over 45 days since she has responded to me. All my attempts to reach out to her are met with silence.

    I had some initial concerns for her well-being because her lack of responsiveness did not seem typical. However I have kept an eye on her eBay account and she has been making recent purchases one of which was an Apple II plus computer which closed on November 3. I really cannot find a suitable reason as to why she is not able to take 5 minutes out of her day and respond to me. Or to log into PayPal and send me the funds.

    As I see it she has stolen over $1500 from me. I feel like a sucker because I trusted many of the reviews left for her on this site. Those funds are sorely needed an it makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.

    I cannot in my heart recommend FLimits as a good buyer or a positive experience. If she does read this and "settle up" with me then I may rescind this review however I have my doubts.



    I know many of you will probably stand up for her and defend her. I would of too four months ago. But I can no longer sit idly by holding my tongue.

    If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to PM me. I don't want to turn this thread into he said she said debacle.

    Thanks
