Fun with an eBay troll...

[Maetryx]

As if I needed more proof of my nerdliness... I find this thread uncontrollably funny.

Maybe one of us could be a friend that heard about Kenazo's hot deal, and inquire as to the availability of additional units...

Yes. I still have it.

Someone got me stopping the listing because he said that he would buy it now. He let me down at the last moment.

Please tell me if you want to buy it at the price of $900 with free shipping.



I'm going to ask him some more details on it, and tell him I'm very interested but need to think about it.

My reply:


Can you give me the details on it again? I am very interested. Has anyone else been asking about it?

His reply:

Hello,

A lot of possible buyers I have on it. So please hurry, I did not know that it would be that succesful.

I don't get it. Did he lift the description for a uBid auction? It's from eBay, right?

You fscking retard! You better be kidding.


I just got this reply from him:

Hello Mr. Newman,

Yes, I still have the laptop. Someone made me stop the listing because he said
he would by the laptop right now, and the he let me down.

Anyway, I would be grateful to make it $1000, regarding the money and time lost
with the wBay thing. For that I will give you Free shipping and I am willing to
pay half of the Western Union fee, that being the only payment method I will
accept. You will have to wire the money.

Please give me your answer about this, so I can give you the details.

Thank you in advance,
Danut

[/i]

free shipping? SCORE!

 

[jonmullen]

Ok, I really want this laptop, but I don't get my pay check till next Friday, can you wait till then?

Hello Mr. Mullen

I still have this laptop. All you have to do is go to the Western Union and wire the money. That is $1000 and free shipping you get.

Please tell me if you are going to do this, and I will give you all the details you need to make this deal work.

Thank you for the email,
Danut

[NokiaDude]

I have a HUGE problem with an EBAY troll right now. Back in December I bought a PS2 game from him. Well it turned out my e-mail wasn't working so he wasn't getting any e-mail from him. Now I finally e-mailed him with the correct e-mail address and we work out the problem. We both came to the conclusion that I would send him the total via paypal and he would send me my game. I sent him paypal about a week ago, he still hasn't sent the game. What should I do? Request the money via paypal with a paypal reminder or what?I sent him an e-mail the two days ago reminding him to the send the game, he isn't responding to my e-mails.

 

[BennyD]

lol, i am offering him $1000 atm

i'll wind him up by asking stupid questions

 

[LordMaul]

My reply:

Excellent. So does this thing come with a mouse or whatever it's called? The thing you move the pointer on the screen with. Do I have to buy one extra? If so, do you offer these?
Thanks!

P.S. Do you accept escrow?

Thanks again.

Nice. I just asked him what info I need to get him the money.

 

[BennyD]

lol, i just sent him this:

Warning: mysql_close(): 1 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/ym/tk.f411.mail.yahoo.com/wb/readmail.cnc on line 765



edit: just asked him this:

I'm interested in upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud Internet connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Will your laptop be able to provide an IP router that's compatible with my token ring ethernet LAN configuration?

 

[LordMaul]

He just sent me his "payment" info.

What a dick. I'd like to ring his neck.

[SharkyTM]

i want to start a paypal account where the people who have been amused by this thread can donate a little cash... in the end, i'll go buy a little troll doll, print out this thread, w/o names or address, include .02$, and some other contributions you guys come up with/mail me, and send it to his @ss.

One of y'all needs to tell him that you are going to send him payment via MO or something thru the mail.... as WU doesnt send to Romania.

SharkyTM

 

[Miramonti]

One of you guys who's in contact with him, try this.

Tell him your cousin lives in Cimpina, Romania and ask him if he lives close to there...and if so can he/she come and pick it up?

See what he says. He lives in Pucioasa (noted in Gottadeal link), and Cimpina is less than 20 miles away. (Both are less than an hour from Bucharest.)

Watch him scramble and say "uhmmm...sorry I just sold it"!
