Should I trust this dude..?

leet6thgrader · 05-10-2007, 02:32 AM

He registered this month with 0 post count and wants to sell me a x850xt..

DaFehr:
X850 XTPE for $75 shipped sound good?

me:
That would be a good deal.

DaFehr:
then its a deal!

Dave

me:
No it's not... I don't know you, you have no post count, and you're probably trying to scam me.

DaFehr ("Dave"):
Ouch, probably not, but it's alright, just thought I'd offer a card. Hope you get a decent deal elsewhere man.

Dave

Me:
Hello

I didn't mean to make my last reply come off so harsh - I want to believe that you're legit and really want to sell it but look at it from my view.. No post count - Registered this month - and you're offering a card that's discontinued for a relatively low price. I'd consider it more if we used PayPal..
================================================== =====================
I don't know.. I mean, I really would like the card.. Suppose he registered because he saw one of my WTB posts?

Strange seeing as he and I just made a deal for the same card...

NJNETSFAN · 05-10-2007, 02:50 AM

no!, i just made a deal with him for a psp, he seemed legit.

EDIT: reread the post, realised he sold the card to some1 else, I thought he sold it to both of you. All is good.
EDIT Again: used paypal with him.

evanscnce · 05-10-2007, 02:52 AM

Did you pay him yet? Lets hope not until we figure this out...

I don't want to be scammed....

NJNETSFAN · 05-10-2007, 02:53 AM

yea, i paid him about two hours ago. I think he's legit.

NJNETSFAN · 05-10-2007, 02:55 AM

lets not jump to conclusions, the guy hasn't done anything wrong. I'll tell you if i get my stuff. I've had over 20 emails with him since sunday about a PSP I bought from him. My stuff should be here between monday and tuesday. He's sending it insured. The only thing that bothered me is he's from canada, but I checked it out and it turns out he is right on the other side of the border. Plus I am protected through paypal.

evanscnce · 05-10-2007, 02:56 AM

Yeap, jumping to conclusions can get you in trouble. I say go with it, as long as its paypal. You can always file a claim if it doesn't go as planned!

NJNETSFAN · 05-10-2007, 02:59 AM

The reason he's selling his stuff is because he wants to buy a new camera and it's only on sale until saturday so I could see why he might want to get rid of some stuff for cheap. He gave me pictures of the unit, was very honest and is actually a very nice person to deal with. he's even going to give me some stuff to mod the psp. This is the first time I've dealt with someone outside of ebay to make a deal, but so far so good. Maybe he will post in this thread.

leet6thgrader · 05-10-2007, 03:09 AM

Okay.. Evanscnce, you can take the card since I'm going to steer clear of this one.

evanscnce · 05-10-2007, 03:14 AM

Thats cool, I paypalled him.

Remember, if you use paypal, there is some insurance to your purchase.
