It sucks but "caveat emptor" as they say, I once bought a TRD LSD for my Corolla that stopped locking after less than 5000km of light-moderate driving. It sucked, but it was also my fault for taking the seller on his word and not testing the breakaway points with a torque wrench, which is a proven method I would have discovered had I done my due diligence. Moral of the story is never buy used parts unless you've seen/used them on the seller's car or it is something "inspectable" for wear and such. Or inspect the shit out of them before you buy lol.
| Yeah I don't know how I feel about this either.
It's one thing to buy a stolen/blacklisted phone, but I feel it's another to just having bought a lemon off of CL (or whatever listing site that was used).
Sure I feel for the OP's friend, it must stuck, but I feel equally annoyed at people who think buying at CL is like buying from a retail store; That the expectation is that you're getting brand new goods but for a second hand price; with an expectation of a return policy as well? :lol
Anyways, I feel for the OP but CL and other listing sites have always been buyer beware. As long as it's not stolen goods (like the blacklisted phone), there's really nothing illegal with this particular transaction in question IMO other than it being a moral issue. |
