| 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

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.

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

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.

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

$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
