Greedy bitch gets pwnd

Quote:

First of all, I am not claiming to have invented this trick. I imagine others have used it with varying degrees of success. I also want to point out that nothing here is embellished or exaggerated.

I had tickets to a sporting event and couldn't attend. I made a 1-day listing and clearly stated that the tickets must be picked up in person within 24 hours (the game was the evening after the auction ended, so there wasn't any time to ship the tickets). A woman won the auction for about $600. The auction had ended at 10:00am and by 5:00pm she still hadn't responded to my emails trying to organize the exchange. Finally, at 9:30pm, I got a one-liner email: "I overbid and my husband won't let me buy these. Sorry and enjoy the game! :)"

I first tried explaining that I wouldn't have the time to resell the tickets (I already got turned down by the losing bidders). She said, "... that's not my problem. It's eBay, not a car dealership. I can back out if I want." I still don't understand the car dealership reference.

I was pretty upset. I was basically going to be stuck with tickets to an event that I couldn't attend. That's when I got the idea to convince her to change her mind.

I created a new eBay account, "Payback" we'll call it, and sent her a message: "Hi there, I noticed you won an auction for 4 [sporting event] tickets. I meant to bid on these but couldn't get to a computer. I wanted to take my son and dad and would be willing to give you $1,000 for the tickets. I imagine that you've already made plans to attend, but I figured it was worth a shot."

At 11:30pm she responded to Payback: "I'll do it for $1,100, no less. I can meet you at the game if you agree. I need your phone number."

At 11:35pm, Payback wrote: "Deal. Here is my number..." (Thanks Google Voice for the throwaway number). She called a few minutes later and made Payback "promise" to go through with the deal. She emphasized that she'd be out a lot of money if Payback backed out. Payback swore he would never do such a thing.

At 11:45pm, the woman emailed me: "Fine. I'll buy them. But you have to drop them off at my house tonight. I'll have the cash ready." So at fucking midnight I drove to her house across town and met her on the road in front of her apartment building. She was a nasty and rude individual. Things didn't get any better when I told her I wanted an extra $20 for the trouble of driving there at midnight (yeah, pushing my luck, I know). It became very awkward and she literally threw 31 $20 bills at me. I counted them before handing over the tickets. I said, "thanks for the great transaction" as she flipped me off while walking away.

At 10:00am she called Payback to make sure they were still on for the exchange. Payback said that he could no longer go to the game and wouldn't be able to do the exchange. She blew her fucking top and I swear to god started speaking in tongues. Payback said, "Ma'am, this is eBay, not a car dealership" and hung up.

I got a rabid email 10 minutes later telling me that I was going to hell and that she's reported me to the local police, FBI, and... the fire department. WTF?

I never heard another word from her. I have no idea if she went to the game or not.

Was this wrong?

EDIT: The Rabid Email

"Fuxking funny fucker! You know you can go to JAIL for this. YOu theef!!!!! [City] cops FBI fire and government already no. Your done. I got your number and your name. This is thefting property FUCKER!!! Give my $620 back or everything bad wiil happen - FUCK!!!!! You cant steal and get away. Refund me now or else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You dpnt want a lawsuit. Trust me. u dont. You can have tickets jut give my my money and be done."

That's the bulk of the email, word for word. There was more at the end too. She must have pressed 'enter' 30 times and wrote "FUCK" and the another 30 times and wrote "HELL". Then she wrote her name which was strange.

TLDR: Guy places last minute auction for game tickets for $600. Winning bidder flakes at the last minute. Guy gets revenge by posing as a fake buyer and asking to buy tickets from winning bidder for $1000. Greedy bitch agrees to buy tickets. Win.

Good lord

that is WIN indeed

Awsome, fuck flake buyers

Awesome haha. Revenge is sweet!

Berz out.

Hahaha this is awesome! :lol

bwahahahhaahhahaha awesome!

used to do something similar in diablo 2... LOL

she got what she deserved ;]

she sounds like a crack whore

That is fucking hilarious.

I don't see anything wrong with what he did whatsoever.

It was just a clever, underhanded way of getting the buyer to follow through with the purchase, which she was obligated to do by winning the auction.

Props to the seller...

Awesomeness, right there.

Threw the words right back at her.

He could've dragged it out a bit longer, and arrange a meeting at the game with his Payback alter-ego. Have her wait a bit, maybe even have her run around a bit, and then call her and tell her he can't buy it, and finish off with, "this is eBay, not a car dealership". Still, what he did is still win.

LOLLLZ i burst out LAFFINGG!~ good one! :haha::haha::haha:

props to that man, though it would have been even sweeter if you had played along even longer and told her to meet at the game and then be like you are running a lil late or something so she wastes her tickets too lol, then set up some bogus meeting to compensate her back and no show again for more laughs.

lol also, I'm sure she got the cops involved, what did she say like I'm a greedy bitch that backed out on an ebay auction and then went through with it because some mystery guy offered me more money ? and now I want my money back because the guy I had no ebay transaction with flaked out on me =(

that is soo awesome! payback is a mofooooooo

in d2, you just trade, then disconnect to dupe.. awww yeah

That is a big time win!!

I don't think she was a "flake". Scammer, yes, flake no.

I think she intentionally waited to the last minute to see if the seller would let them go for less, since he's out of time. The fact she said "I overbid and my husband won't let me buy these" is opening the door for the guy to let them go for less. She expected the guy to say something like "can you affford $400" and he didn't bite.
