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?

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
