craigslist bad sale
 
Some guy sold me component cables for 360, $15. The cables don't work...I've tried them on 3 different TV's and another 360 at a friends house.

I have this guys number and email but he's not replying, is there anything I can do?

you should always test things before you buy.

if you find that guy... strangle him with the cables he sold you

aznorris 09-19-2009 06:33 PM

should of tested it before you payed him. lesson learned, now move on with your life

choda 09-19-2009 06:36 PM

Try and hunt him down and rape him with the cables, I know where you're coming from, it's only $15 but it's about the principle.

Theres nothing you can do. A private sale is just that. A private sale.
At least you didnt buy a laptop and lose $300+ or something

spoon.ek9 09-19-2009 06:47 PM

live and learn, that's what you can do. $15 is nothing.

Always test things out before you pay, whether it's worth $5 or $50

I'm afraid to test things out after I heard that story of some guy getting murdered while checking something he was buying, inside the house. =(

If they're brand name cables, try contacting the company to see if they have some sort of warranty b/c trying to find the seller isn't going to help.

echoboy 09-19-2009 07:23 PM

BUYER BEWARE!

.Dream.Time 09-19-2009 07:37 PM

sell them to someone else and quickly run away.

If U are SMART, U won't buy anything from CRAIGLIST. Because U are CHEAP!?

Vansterdam 09-19-2009 07:54 PM

im willing to give you one for free in exchange for a positive RS feedback+THANKS, its the least you can do :P

twitchyzero 09-19-2009 07:54 PM

i'd say you did the right thing..

i wouldnt meet up the guy in your house or his over a $15 cable...$15 loss aint so bad..better than getting knocked out, waking up then finding out your liver and kidneys are gone cause he sold it to the blackmarket.

Oh wait..this Canada

Nvasion 09-19-2009 07:55 PM

always test.

$15 for a lesson learnt is a good deal friend,
Don't be like me, my car was a $5800 lesson FML
But hey, knowledge is power, it's what life is all about so i don't care nemore, besides I love my car whether it's a POS or not

liu13 09-19-2009 09:06 PM
