How are you out a ps3 $450 AND a duo?
Here's the breakdown:
I put up an offer to trade a 750GB PS3(I used it primarily as a movie hub). The guy that took my offer on another site wanted a new PS3 instead which I agreed to and I sent him one with my Dell account after he sent his Duo. His Duo's laser got stuck and he already had the PS3 I sent him. That's why I was out $200 and a Duo there. Because I wanted to keep the games and the Duo Tap.
At the same time, this a$$hole that's in the topic starter, said he had a few Duo and he's trade my for my 750GB PS3. He said that if I wasn't satisfied with the Duo, I didn't have to send him anything. His Duo comes and it gets stuck reading the backups. But, unlike the last, I opened it, cleaned it, lubed the gear, and I hadn't had that problem since. I was still going to send the PS3 any way to be nice, but when backing up my data, my PS3 got the YLOD. So, that's how I'm out a PS3.
I sent him a message about it and told him. No response. So, I figured he didn't care. What else would you assume from a guy who you don't hear from in a month? But, the guy who got the new PS3, sent me half of the price back, which I used to buy a couple of Duos which were ALSO dead(this was BEFORE the topic starter sent me the Duo). But, being Craigslist, there's no real way to get your money back. That's the OTHER $250 right there.
If you're still willing to sell, i'd be glad to welcome your complete Turbgrafx games on my shelves.
I have to. What other choice do I have.
sounds like you are pretty set on getting rid of your game collection and getting out of the community so good luck to your sale (you are in the wrong section tho this is the PCE for sale thread) but if your aunt's duo with the bad laser is still around some of the guys here can probably fix that for you.
It's not really being dead set. It's more "I'm out all this money with nothing to show for it, what's the point of keeping it since nobody will step in and help me". As for my aunt's Duo, she junked it after the laser blew. I mean, am I really crazy to believe that maybe there are still some good people out there with compassion for another. I know that if the roles were reversed and I had a spare Duo, I'd send it to that person and maybe even throw in a couple of games. But, since there's no one out there like that anymore, I have to sell.
If it were me, I wouldn't send SHIT back. Keep it.
I'll let this bullshit explain itself:
"If you want to know why I didnt contact you is my roomates mom died. It has been a heavy few weeks and things like this fall to the back. As for you being out a PS3 and $450 that sucks for you, I dont not sure how you are out $450 but neither of those things are my fault. If you sent me the DUO back you would be out around $15, which you would be if you sent the PS3. FYI I have never talked shit about you anywhere even in real life, but to be honest the super aggro mails you are sending make you seem kind of crazy. You act as if I am not out a $300 item. One day that is going to help pay for my kid to go to college and I cant let you just take that from me.
So we have 2 options again you can send me the DUO or we can go the legal route. I'm %100 percent sure I will win(I have copies of the mails too) and if I am right you will be out the DUO + my legal fees and a possible theft charge. Think about even the deal was the way you believed it was, you just wrote that you opened the system, which would be tampering with it after the fact. This would nullify your ability to prove that it was not working correctly upon arrival. If that's what this is really worth to you then that is how it is."
Would YOU want to waste any more time on this motherf*cker after his lies, stories, and BS? No? I wouldn't either. If he's THAT desperate that he'd lie, make up stories, and threaten me with things he obviously knows nothing about(i.e. this would be a "small claims" case and you don't USE an attorney for that, threatening me with theft when not only did he send it to me, he did NOT state to send it back if I wasn't satisfied), then obviously, he deserves it more than me. I would NEVER pull all that bullshit to keep something or for ANY reason.
