Non-reputable? Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Tankguys is one of the most reputable SPECIALTY stepping dealers there is.
Do you have any idea how much work goes into getting a specific stepping WAY before anyone else does?
Yep - he's a scam artist - a scam artist that has sold HUNDREDS of D0 specific chips - to people who are obviously simply stupid followers.
Not to mention the THOUSANDS of stepping specific other CPUs he has sold (Most to repeat customers, they must be REALLY stupid) over the years, providing kick-ass support on forums and via email, at very little profit, once all costs are factored in.
You have no clue how the industry works, and I hope that no reasonable person thinks you are any more than a mouth breathing, cheap moron.
You probably don't tip the girl who does your manicures either.
