    We have learned, through experience, to never judge a book by its cover. Customers that leave tips like this should be embraced as small companies are fighting to stay above water. To jump the line and get something fixed instantly is worth a lot to the person that needs it. Sometimes a device with sensitive information stops working and needs to be recovered to get wiped and remove the sensitive data. Everything has a price and giving a tip this large and carrying around that much money, makes one question. Now we need to remember to never judge a book by its cover.

    • @HanCurunyr

    Big Bo’s is an awesome guy to disassemble and reassemble all the devices that need soldering work. That’s one part of the soldering job I find “painful” at times: so having a guy like big boss take care of that side of “repair” is pretty awesome!
    Also, do like looking at monitor for soldering now compared to looking thru microscope, like used to do. Enter on neck and other issues it caused, and as was learning curve; not going back anytime soon.
    THX NRF for that awesome tip, and not for everyone, but I like it👍🏻

    When I told him maybe it's the charger's fault, I'll take a look and test if you need a new battery or a charger.
    Then, once I tested and saw he only needed a new charger for £30, he gave me £100 total so 3x times the price of the product.

I recently bought some merchandise from you, which I am delighted with but because it was shipped to the UK my thieving govt put a tax on it of £54. This isn't a criticism of you in any way, just a heads up to other UK customers.

    The guy with the bag of cash, sounds like there was some extremely important info on that laptop he needed "obviously it was for the data as he clearly could have easily bought a new laptop" and by this "friend," how quickly he wanted to get out of there, and how much he paid. Probably a man who has more money than he can spend and for whatever reason you want to imagine doesn't want a lot of questions and keeps contact to a minimum. Not even going to speculate on his line of work, but it must have been nice to get such a good payday.
