where did he get maced? behind Subway?

TheSalesman 04-26-2010 11:46 PM

wow wtf,
where did he meet these punks?
should always sell in a public more open area.

LiquidTurbo 04-26-2010 11:47 PM

Sorry to hear about your friend dude. Thanks for the heads up. Good lesson for people. Meet at a public locations, if ANYTHING shady comes up, don't be afraid to walk away.

NEVER meet anyone behind anything.

hope your friends are okay, mace stings like a bitch.

It was said in the other thread... so I'll be the first to post it here.

Douchebag clothing attracts douchebag people.

Sorry to hear his clothes got stolen. Should always meet in a crowded area though.

That's why I never use Craigslist. RS buy/sell all the way. Even if it is on RS I check the members feedback and how long they are register on the site and how many post they make. I never deal with new members just to be son the safe side.

!Aznboi128 04-27-2010 12:07 AM

^ must say that's what I do.

all the people I've sold/bought from has always been with rs for a while lol

How is that a scam?

It'd only be a scam if your buddy sold them fake shit.

TheSalesman 04-27-2010 12:37 AM

your friend actually went behind a restraunt to sell his stuff?
Did he choose that spot?

Its a scam if people promise to pay but instead cause pain to your eyes and run away with your shit :o

simsimi1004 04-27-2010 12:43 AM

nah he didnt choose the spot
bad for him to try selling 1.3k$ worth of hoody in a shady spot. but he was probably eager to make some money.

Meowjin 04-27-2010 01:30 AM

Coffee shops are always safest!

orange7 04-27-2010 01:36 AM

or at a skytrain station during day time.

mickz 04-27-2010 01:40 AM

I would've at least went with another person if I was selling something with that kind of monetary value.

tonyvu 04-27-2010 01:41 AM

sorry to hear man, thats why always go with a couple buddies when making drops

Kim Jong Un 04-27-2010 01:51 AM

im sorry to say but your friend deserved that.. >.> though i do thank you for the heads up. lol..

Vansterdam 04-27-2010 02:05 AM

in an alley on hastings.

already sound sketchy

RollingStone 04-27-2010 02:17 AM

Haha, that happened to a friend and I a long time ago too but my friend is really big and went after them and got our item back. Most of the time though CL is fine. My bro has sold a lot of stuff through it (sold laptops, etc). Just use common sense.

Werd. Can't get any more ghetto than that.

simsimi1004 04-27-2010 03:28 AM

in his defence, just because its on hastings doenst mean its like main/hastings. its actually pretty non-ghetto, looking from google satellite. (never been there)
but i agree, meeting behind a store is still fail.
