Or - if I was really pissed, destroy it in private, then do the mail thing, then call the cops, show them the box and the emails, then press charges for destroying your property.


Nah, that's going too far, and it would could backfire in the form of 'false accusation' charges...

Better yet they could both grow up and realize a deal went south and move on.
 
But that would not involve soldering irons! :rolleyes:

Don't make me whip this out.

Yes I know it is not an iron but it looks meaner.
 
I'd probably go pick it up, then smash it into a million little pieces in the street in front of his house, just to show him it wasn't the cab that was important, but the principle.

Then, if I was feeling really bitchy, I'd put all the pieces in a box, address it to myself, but his address as the return address, mail it to myself, then refuse to accept it, and have them return to "sender"....

:D


my god the thought crossed my mind but you are correct on this entire situation its the principal in the long run. i think a person should be held responsible once they take possession of said goods.
 
dude grow lose 200$ and then just walk away happy sounds like a great plan to me.

ok i lied sounds like a shitty plan

Then go get it and resell it. Quit acting like you are 12.
According to you..................
You didn't make it clear when you wanted paid.
You got mad when he said he didn't have the money when you wanted it
You said no when he said he would give it back.

You can blame him all you want, but look at your own actions in this mess too.

No I am not being insulting for no reason, you asked for opinions and I gave mine.

You told me it is a "shitty plan".

You are acting like he killed your dog.

What are you out here?
You wanted the game out of your way, at the very least you got extra room for a while.
You lost nothing in this deal but a friend, maybe in your world things are different but in mine I treasure my friends and I'll be damned if I would let something this silly come between me and a one of them.

My bad for responding, I didn't realize you was not looking for opinions, just people to agree with you.
 
Ok you guys want me to respond I will, I'm not here to slam taylor or say anything about the situation, those who know me know my character and the type of person I am! I tried to resolve the situation in a mature PRIVATE manner and never wanted it to go into a public forum. I am in no regards holding onto to the game or am playing it, I can't as all the parts were never supplied to me. How can someone ask for money for a game that's missing parts that were promised in the intail deal? I also never ever stated that I wasn't paying for the game or backing out of the deal! In regards to other deals and spending money on other things I havnt done one transaction. I just spent thousands of dollars out of my savings to cover funeral costs of my father if u all need to know. People jump to accusations about deals I'm doing or people I owe money to without even talking to me. I valued taylor as on of my closer friends, but I've learned in life you can't please everyone all the time! I'm sorry this ended up in a
Public forum and did everything in my power to keep it in private were it should have stayed. You can judge me how you like and there is no way for me to please everyone. I will not comment or respond to any further posts on this topic.

Kind of a LAME way to clear your conscience. (RE-CAP)

"I'm going to make a quick post to tell everyone that knows me, they should know that I wouldn't do anything like this",...... followed up with, "..how could I want a cab with missing parts?"(why'd you take it in the first place then?),.... then with..... We are friends, so I shouldn't have to pay soon or EVER in this case.

Basically it was buyers remorse, at the cost of a friendship. Way to go. Joe. Hope your happy now, worth all that was it? Over $200 too, wow, lame indeed.

Then you follow it up by saying basically "piss on the lot of you, I'm not answering in this post anymore."

Basically AceJedi's Translation: I know what I did was wrong, however I will not admit it. I've been caught, I sent off shitty emails and I've tried to come up with any excuse so I don't have to pay for it. So now I will run away from the situation instead of facing it. Oh and all this at the cost of friendship.

LAME. LAME LAME indeed....

Why has this become personal?

The dude sold him the game and because they are buddies he said pay me when you can.

The other dude goes out and buys more games before paying the 1st dude.

I would be like what the hell? If he is buying more games he can pay me.

The reason he said pay me when ever is because his buddy didn't have the money right away? but now he is buying more games? That is crap, insulting, and hurtful to his friend the seller, I believe the seller was taken advantage of.

We all make mistakes, the buyer should just say hey i can see how me buying other games before i pay you would make you feel crappy, i didn't realize that till now, sorry man. I messed up but will pay you asap????

I was shocked to see the seller attacked over that other post. That was a personal name calling respons and not an opinion.

OMG this has gotten outta hand! I never said I wasn't gonna pay for the game, just didn't have the money at the moment. I gave taylor the option to take the game back and that upset him, I'm sorry it happened, I say him in person before this got out of control and didn't even no he was upset about it other than he was cold to me, I never did any other deals it was all talk and I got accused of doing deals that never happened, I don't know what else to say to everyone including talylor! Most of you have already judged me. Some of you have made valid points while others havnt. I'm sorry the deal went south I'm only human I do make mistakes as we all do. In all the years I've been collecting and all the hundreds of deals I've done I've helped many people out and been helped out by others with nothing in return and not expecting anything. People make mistakes once again I'm sorry that this upset you taylor, I'm sorry for this being public if it upset anyone. I don't know what else to say. The game is going to a
Fellow collector. Taylor will get his 20ez chasis back that he loaned me for CAX which I already told him in private and thanked him and I lose a friend. So there it is once again I'm done with this thread I don't want to respond anymore, I just want to move on with my life, I'm still mourning the death of my father which only happened 2 and a half weeks ago, did anybody ever consider that my thought process or my emotions were outta wack? Don't know how many of you have ever lost a parent but it screws you up a lot especially when your parent was your best friend and you were at his bedside when he died! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! What else do you people want from me?

I was so hoping this would be the time someone said they were not coming back to the thread and then actually did it.

Disappointment thy name is Lindsey.

I just closed the thread... it looks like it was going no where good. Third party comments were beginning to get harsher and harsher and I don't think are helpful to either of you.

Obviously the two parties see things a little different from each other. Both feel bummed at the other (and not just because of the deal itself), and both are unhappy that not everyone sees things their way.

It looks that besides PM/email, that this was kind of continuation from another thread (which I didn't read, and have no interest to).

I, like everyone else, could post my opinion as to who is 'more' right (if I thought either one is) but that wouldn't be helpful and I think my role as sponsor of these forums sorts of limits (self-imposed) my freedom of speech sometimes. My advice in the situation would also be moot as it looks like a solution of sorts has already been worked out.

The deal sounded risky from the start due to a lack of some specifics and hopefully is a learning lesson to all involved. I've been in the same types of deals before with the same types of outcomes.

I'm not sure what to do with the thread, though I'm tempted to simply make it disappear. It really doesn't add value to this section and will probably soon be explicitly banned in this section.. If anyone feels strongly about it (especially the principals in the deal) pm me.

You can leave negative iTrader ratings for each other and gripe in a Neg Feedback Forum if it comes up, but you both are probably better off not going down that road (even if one of you is 'more right' in this far from perfectly executed deal).
