Default I have shit luck...

I have gotta change my name from FluKy to BadLucky or something... A while ago, my Blackberry broke, so I bought one quickly off kijiji. That phone didnt work, and so I went crazy for a week without a phone. Finally got one, and I wasted $180 on a new one. Still havent resold it, and so money wasted...

I decided I wanted an iPod nano to keep me sane at work. I found one listed for $55 so I said sweet, cheap. I was emailling the guy only, he never ever gave a phone number. I should have clued in there... I picked it up today, just plugged it in. The screen is broken, doesnt work at all. The guy ****ed me . I have terrible luck with kijiji/craigslist buy and sell. What the F*** happened to honest people these days!?!

/end rant

honest people don't hang around those sites, lol. Discounted parts always seem to come with some risk, I've given up trying to find cheap parts because of that. I'd rather pay a few bucks more to know shit is as you expect it to be.

Im such a creeper. The kid only gave me his email address, but I have his full name, and facebook already. Ill soon be getting his phone number, all his friends phone numbers, and his address. With just an email address you can find out everything about a person its nuts.

Edit: I just got his cell phone number... Rofl score.
Edit2: I have his address now too... The internet is creepy. I need sleep too, nearly 30 hours straight. Maybe thats why Im feeling like this... Lack of sleep does stupid stuff to me

shitty deal man, make sure you test out anything before you buy. even if it takes an hour to charge. less headache. when i sell stuff online i always give my assurance that it works 100% because i would hate to buy something that didnt work.

hate to say it but tough break...private sale...he's not obligated to give anything back..you live and learn.

is it worth the hassle? probably not..its $55 dollars..but sometimes people get what they deserve...karma's a bitch and sometimes it just so happens their lugnuts go missing on their car.

i wouldn't bother calling him btw...there's much more satisfaction for me seeing people burn.

but that's just me..

What you should do is tell him you want to buy another, they are christmas gifts, then wait around the corner with a baseball bat. Remember the extended warranty if he asks.
