Mow lawns? get jobs? I do plan on getting job but my school doesnt end yet. And i think i should get his money back asap

"what ugly people"

exactly what i said. Deleted. People annoy me. All them big tough guys behind their computer. I need no more suggestion from yall. AND just so you know, the guy on oher side dint want to file a claim. He said the box wasnt damaged or some crap. I'd post the chat log but this discussion has turned ugly..

You didn't write down the serial number on the unit before sending it off, did you? If you did, I'd bet it's different than on the returned unit.

Sounds like he hosed ya.

If you feel that you are not at fault DO NOT ACCEPT THE Package Back. If
he mails it back to you tell the post office to return it to sender. Again, you sold
and shipped the goods in good faith, the matter is entirely out of your hands. Don't
let the guy bully you into taking responsibility. Just as long as you're being honest
about its condition upon shipping you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

First of all, what does NO FAT CHICKS have to do with anything. Second of all patheticality is not a word. Third of all, my computer is quite good while not the most up to date hardware.

Personally, I wouldn't have spent the cash until the guy told me he had it and it was working. You know, just in case...

But if you are so certain it was working I'd still press forward with the insurance. However, if dumpster diving is all you feel you can do, good luck. It really isn't "illegal" it take items in a dumpster, but it is illegal to pilfer through private property, and most companies consider their dumpster just that. I've heard of mild success stories of people getting a few PDAs, and stuff out the back of CompUSA,Staples etc, but if you live in a town that is even mildly large you can forget it. You'll either be in competition with umpteen other people or else the law will be patrolling the lot due to excessive "visitations".

While it was said harshly earlier, your best bet would be to ask your parent(s) for the cash. Explain the situation and tell them you'll pay them back(somehow).

Well i planed on 2 plans:

1. fix xbox and get loan from sister and resell xbox to gamespot
2. let gamespot fix it and resell it.

ill do either depending on which is cheaper since a new laser cost 23 bucks on ebay

in reply to above: I am simply going to ignore you. Period. Are you the 12 year old here and not me.
