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?

[ZhangFei]

you should always test things before you buy.

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

[aznorris]

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

[choda]

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.

[!Yaminashi]

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]

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

[Razor Ramon HG]

Noob, always test it out.

[AccordCouped]

Noob, always test it out.

haha +1

[LenovoTurbo]

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

[raygunpk]

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. =(

[rb]

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]

BUYER BEWARE!

[.Dream.Time]

sell them to someone else and quickly run away.

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

[jeff_alexander]

grab a HIV poz needle and stab the fucker

[Vansterdam]

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

[twitchyzero]

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]

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]

15$ is nothing, dont be mad

i usually try and buy my technology from asians in richmond or burnaby

care to share? what car was this and how much did u spend on repairs?

[Gh0stRider]

$15 for a cheap lesson learned. Be thankful it wasn't more

[ilvtofu]

well besides the exhaust none yet, 3rd gear syncro isn't particularly smooth, clutch makes it feel like you're in the wrong gear when starting on a steep hill, one of the rear shocks isn't so good, sway bar end links aren't good, tension rods aren't good, and possible oil leak?

I have a bad feeling the car will be in a shop for a couple of weeks to fix it all up, looking at quite a bit of $ here, but oh well it still works so can't complain to much, still a fun car nonetheless

[Vansterdam]

drop me a PM if ur interested in teh wire bud

[azzurro32]

Buy same ones from fs or walmart, and then pull a switcharoo and return the broken ones.

People in Van or anywhere have been killed for less. You never know in this crazy world.

[achiam]

post his # and email on here!

[BMW135i]

Sad to hear about that. You should be more caution when buying from craigslist. It's a good lesson for you for a cheap price. I'm sure you wont make that mistake again.

Oh wait..this Canada

[124Y]

Post the phone number!!
But yea...always test it out man...
Go with a friend or two with full SWAT combat gear if you are afraid of getting murdered.

[sil3nt]

Noob, always test it out.

he stated the point quite clear lol

[MelonBoy]

Lesson learn! .. Next time u make a sale u either check it on the spot or meet at the guys house.. (if any problems u know where he lives) also if u meet at the guys house i advise u to A)Be driving so if u think somethings up u can make a quick and easy get away B) have a friend wait in the car while u do your shit...

Have friend in car?

Have friend beside you is more like it.

[azzurro32]

Alot of times the e stalker in me enters their email address on fb to get a clue who I'm dealing with

[raygunpk]

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.

Maybe this will work. They are Microsoft branded. Thing is mine is Arcade and doesn't come with components...so if they ask for a serial or anything I wouldn't know what to say.



And maybe somebody here knows the guy. His name is Dennis and he's vietnamese lol. I know it's vague but PM me if it rings a bell and we can see if the phone number matches.

[getalove]

did u search his info on facebook ?
find his face.. .then find out what school or job he goes to
then cable rape his ass

[raygunpk]

Yeah I just looked, no dice. I'm tempted to post his email and number on here but I know you guys will ruin his life. I just want my money back.

[getalove]

nahh just post it i'm sure someone on here will help you

[albert116]

Yeah I just looked, no dice. I'm tempted to post his email and number on here but I know you guys will ruin his life. I just want my money back.

haha why not??

he is a scam artist, ain't he?

he deserves a beat down :p

[GLOW]

can't you get component cables online from like dealextreme or monoprice for much cheaper? i think i got my ps3 ones for like $3 off monoprice

[ilvtofu]

Doesn't that place on main across VW have HDMI/component cables for really cheap?
Haven't been there in a while and the place is run by white people now I heard, but I'd pay them a visit and check out their prices first, I got my aux cables for my car from them for around $2 :)

[choda]

Buy same ones from fs or walmart, and then pull a switcharoo and return the broken ones.

+1, I've pulled that one once!

[BD2002]

unleash megatron on his ass

[jtanner_]

^ lol.

Your best bet is probably to buy the same cable, swap it, and return it... or to simply buy another new one at monoprice (http://www.monoprice.com) or a similar website...

[vibikki]

Private sale = Sold As Is = No Refund. As simple as that.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Post his number.

[TheKingdom2000]

i'm pretty sure you can't do anything...
a used sale is an AS IS sale.

just like in Ikea's as is.. you can't go bitching and complaining once you've paid for it..

lesson learned.. for a second there i thought you spend $360.
so consider yourself lucky.

[LikeASir]

grab a HIV poz needle and stab the fucker


:haha:

[hotjoint]

:werd: to buying a new set from walmart and switching them and returning :thumbsup:

[silk]

yup, post number.. and i will call him for the same ad..

maybe he is got bunch of fake ones for sale

[you!]

send some gay porn at his place
order bunch of pizza to his place
hookers to his place
etc etc

[fsy82]

should have bought a new one..that way u save ur self from faulty equipment

[icemiko]

Atleast that's better then me buying a cell phone from Craigslist which I test out and it worked fine, then it broke 2-3 days later.

[sonick]

Return policy for craigslist sales: 30 seconds or 30 feet whichever comes first.

[Vansterdam]

you should post his number and address with a fake address in the craigslist m4m section

[DC5-S]

+1, I've pulled that one once!

lol done that with a 360

[azzurro32]

No thanks needed.

[raygunpk]

I already checked monoprice, with shipping it would be about $12. Figured I'd skip the wait and pay a bit more, lesson learned.

[97ITR]

Components cables aren't usually something that stop working unless they're damaged by extensive bending/pulling/chewing... Are you sure you have the switch on the plug set to HD and not TV?

[raygunpk]

Yeah, tried both settings and on other TV's and 360s as well.

[ws6ta]

rape his gf?

[raygunpk]

I did the refund trick, thanks guys.
Here's his number:
