My friend tried to sell his hoodies

the phone number is 604 763 4674 and his caller id showed it as a Julia Tran.
reported to police .

beware.
1x white dussault with a panda
1x a black dussault with a tiger on the bak

[orange7]

where did he get maced? behind Subway?

[TheSalesman]

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

[LiquidTurbo]

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.

[simsimi1004]

where did he get maced? behind Subway?
he met them behind sushi town on hastings.

[!Aznboi128]

NEVER meet anyone behind anything.

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

[hchang]

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.

[Mr.HappySilp]

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]

^ must say that's what I do.

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

[jing]

How is that a scam?

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

[TheSalesman]

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

[The_AK]

How is that a scam?

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

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

[simsimi1004]

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]

Coffee shops are always safest!

[orange7]

or at a skytrain station during day time.

[mickz]

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

[tonyvu]

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

[Kim Jong Un]

BAD STORY BRO!
but seriously what's up with these low life who must mace someone for a goddamn hoodie?
i'd mace someone for 48 million dollars but a fucken hoodie? come on now

[MelonBoy]

he met them behind sushi town on hastings.

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

[Vansterdam]

in an alley on hastings.

already sound sketchy

[RollingStone]

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.

[BaoXu]

1x white dussault with a panda

LOL.

[124Y]

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

[simsimi1004]

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.

are you kidding?

I'd mace someone for a klondike bar

[CP.AR]

awww man not this shit again...

ALWAYS meet in a well lit, well populated area

for example: I only meet buyers/sellers at a food court in a mall, or in tim horton's or something DURING THE DAY or EVENING (none of that 3AM shit)

[BaoXu]

by the way, is Julia Tran hot?

that was the problem...

CL is not that bad. I've done over 30 transactions over the past few years
and none of them were bad. You just need to know how to "do business"
under the circumstances. Since CL is not like a store, you can't just walk in
and pay and leave. It's not eBay with all the PayPal security. No feedback,
so you gotta figure it out yourself. I never made any transactions over $150,
but anything over $100, I bring a friend with me. Or I meet in a
shopping mall. 80% of my transactions were at Metrotown inside the
mall. Just agreeing to meet there would eliminate a lot of potential thieves.
Never do "quick transaction". Always communicate through email
several times. It can really help get a feel of what kind of person
you're dealing with. Many theives are douches, that will type like douches.
They'll sound rushed to make a deal, will try to push to meet at shady areas
using excuses like they live too far from a shopping mall, etc. It's not
safeproof to assume all thieves are dumbasses, some can be quite cunning,
but it does eliminate a lot of potential ones. It you're selling an item worth a
few hundred, best to bring a friend. Even if it's at a mall.

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.

$1300 hoodie?? :confused:

Common Sense FTW. You would've thoguht most people are born with this...

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

fuck man that is just low, who the hell pepper spray/mace ppl just to rob another person's clothes. Good thing they didnt beat him up while he got maced, and had his wallet taken away from him..

kids these days

so true, I have never gotten maced buying / selling honda parts on CL

[3seriesBeeM]

This happened again geez people have some common sense if you are meeting to sell expensive items bring a friend and meet in public areas. You are the seller you have the power to decide the meeting place if the buyer truely wants want you are selling he/she will be willing to meet anywhere. If he/she says stuff like too far, no car, etc. than say ok no sale and wait for someone else. if they truely want your items they will meet with you dont let the buyer dictate the terms of where you are going to meet

[Fafine]

wait wait your homie thought that someone would meet him behind hasting with $1300 cash? LOOL

[BlacknJean]

Hey guyz, im selling a white dussault with a panda hoodie for a low price of $300! Will only meet behind hastings and sushi town! only come by yourself!

always meet at public places. I thought that was common sense

Damn, secound douche bag clothing sale gone wrong in my area.

Seek advice from the guy who was getting egged, dudes like Sherlock Holmes.

LOL, at least he won't meet anyone behind a a restaurant next time..

just make sure next time he doesn't meet them in a dark alley, or a empty parking lot at 11pm at night,

[BlackZRoadster]

anyone facebook or google up pics of julia tran??

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^ :lol

common sense is a rare thing to have these days
lol

[MyPresIzBlack]

theres been a huge increase of ppl trying to use fake 100 dollar bills on craigslist.
very fucking annoying.

had it happen to me twice in a week when i was trying to sell a phone.

first one was two hindus, one was fat, both said they were DJs. they even came to my condo where there was cameras!!

second time it was some iranian kid.

you can tell they are fake by the color of the bill, its too light. as if it was printed. and the security foil, if you look on the real 100, the word "100" is only shown when you flash it against some light, the fakes had them bolded.



-before anyone starts thinking that im racist or whatever, this is exactly what i saw! not pointing fingers at any race or whatever. this is just who showed up at my door trying to pawn off fake brown bills
be careful out there. i told them both to GTFO out of my building before i call the cops. people are scum these days.

[hotjoint]

common sense is a rare thing to have these days
lol

haha apparently it is

[MR_BIGGS]

Those that are using fake bills and macing people are doing this because they have gotten away with it in the past.

When selling something to someone:

DO

1) Bring a friend or two
2) Do it in a high traffic area or where there are people present
3) Hell, if you feel the money is fake, take the person to the bank to verify.

[shawn79]

even if someone get maced at a public area, asian people are just gonna stand there and watch.

shitty deal

[palepilsenpin0y]

he met them behind sushi town on hastings.

Sounds waaaaay too shady already. I mean the words "behind" and "hastings" should be indicators enough. Pretty damn ignorant, but still your friend was the victim in this so I hope he's alright.


I always do craigslist dealings. I always meet people either in a mall (Richmond Centre or Oakridge Mall) or in any Skytrain station during the day. I mean even if you think it's gonna be a smooth dealing, always play it safe.
Even bring a friend or two if you like, as someone mentioned earlier.


I'm sure your friend learned a valuable, but painful lesson that day.

[TheSalesman]

even if someone get maced at a public area, asian people are just gonna stand there and watch.

That's not the point.
If you are in a public area with lots of people, the chances of someone macing you is less likely.

I can't believe someone agreed to sell $1300 worth of goods in a Hastings alleyway.

[no_clue]

off topic but people call me and ask me for my address, and once I give it to them they never come by to look at my items. Is this a new scam or something?

[TheSalesman]

Most of the time I try not to bring people over because they might come scope out your place and come rob you after.
Now they know what you have and where you live and they never showed up.
I wouldn't give out address for big items, maybe small things < $100

[StealthFighter]

I knew a Julia Tran, not hot though.

[TheSalesman]

Julia Tran is probably the kids mom.
Or....they maced a Julia Tran and used her phone to call you.

[GabAlmighty]

Your friend was stupid enough to spend over $1000 on two sweatshirts and was then stupid enough to agree to sell the aforementioned articles of clothing in a well known shady area of Vancouver?





Can you please smack your friend in the face for me?

[smk]

Sorry to hear about the loss of his goddamn Ed Hardy sweaters. Maybe it was a good thing

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Your friend didn't get scammed. Your friend got robbed.

indeed, there is a difference

[EmOne]

LOL @ stupid kids
LOL @ $1300 sweater

[simsimi1004]

to clarify, the sweaters were new, and he didnt buy them for 1300 but they are retail 1300.
hence it probably drived his eagerness into a quick sale for profit instead of thinking it through but w.e/

[Shun Izaki]

he met them behind sushi town on hastings.

actually, beside sushitown is M&M meat shops, beside that is Subway, and technically at the back of that lot, it's Subway.... so he did get owned behind a subway, just not the same one as the other guy

Sad , is it that kid that was selling fury 4 hoodies on RV? Shieet thats saaad. I saw his ad the other day never knew he would get maced. I dont know anyone who would go to a back of a store or alley to trade with a person. Hope your friend is okay.. :S

wait a minute.

why are 2 hoodies with animals (not wolves) worth so much?

I bought a pretty sweet wolf hoodie from value village for like $8. It's majestic as shit! dd I get a good deal.... or are wolves just not worth as much as pandas or tigers.

While I havn't seen these panda tiger sweaters, I assume they may be professionally bejeweled. If I bedazzle(tm) my $8 wolf sweater form value village (size XL) can it be worth up to $600 in a back alley?

pls reply, serious replys only.

oh shit thats him!

The sweater in that thread's only $230, the ones that were stolen costed $1300
