I purchased an iPod from "if looz kill" from the following thread with the intent to give it to my g/f as she really wanted an iPod. I figured it was inexpensive and according to him worked, so I would purchase it.

I PMed him and sent payment right away on May 8th. He shipped it out on the 8th and I got it on the 10th. It was wrapped up in a DIRTY and SMELLY rag within a small envelope. The postage said something to the effect of $0.20 or something to that nature, so he obviously didn't spend the $ to send it correctly. I PMed him letting him know that when I tried to turn it on for the 1st time, I got a "sad Mac" which is a sad face on the ipod. Apparently this is a pretty common problem and means that the ipod is broken.

He PMs me back on the 11th stating that there is no way it could be broken and suggests that I try to reflash it or "shake the hardrive" which means that I would need to open the iPod and take the hardrive out. I told him that I would try reflashing, but wouldn't open up the iPod as I purchased an iPod in working condition and didn't feel comfortable opening it up.

I tried reflashing it without any luck, so I PM him on the 11th letting him know the reflashing didn't work and I want a refund and asked where to send the iPod back to. No reply, so I PMed him on the 15th. No reply, so I PM him again letting him know that I am annoyed and want a refund. He finally replies today stating, "I don't know what to say. I didn't sell you anything broken, and I can't offer you a refund. The picture I put up before I sold it to you shows that the ipod was working when it was shipped out to you."

I am going to file a claim with PayPal and let them decide whether I should get my money back.

Moral of the story: BEWARE OF "IF LOOKZ KILL"

 

WTF!!!

 

And I'm sure many of you know him. I had made a deal with him in the past for my exterior parts and he seemed legit then. This boils down to him not accepting responsibility for something he should.

 

If you payed for shipping, he should have insured it.

Plain and simple.

I dont know though, he seemed pretty cool when I met him.

 

Wow seen him on the forums, and seems pretty cool

 

hum...is this the NANO or the regular one?

 

Its regular, look at the pic

 

It's one thing when you do business in person and another when you don't see them.

 

looks like the NANO..but i could be wrong.

 

"The picture I put up before I sold it to you shows that the ipod was working when it was shipped out to you."

The picture says "March 22, 2007"
