Ok... so my friend got someone interested in buying his gamecube, to save up to build a new computer. The guy said he was from the same state we were, Washington. Guy pays by Western Union, and my friend has to pick it up. A catch though "you need to verify that you shipped it Fedex before you can receive the money." Wow rofl... that was a rule? So my friend goes to Fedex, and tries to ship it... The buyer said you pay nothing for shipping... Well... turns out, address was to NIGERIA... $100 DOLLAS BIOTCH!... *cha ching* ROFL. WTF... He goes back, checks the names, omfg they don't match... Didn't ship in the end.

So now, I think he just escaped a scam.

LOL. Anyone who ever replies to my ads with such a greeting gets ZERO consideration. I don't even bother reading any further. Look, I'm not your fvcking "friend". I'm not looking for any new "friends". I have some sh!t to sell, you want to buy some sh!t. That's the end of our relationship.

LOL, "friend".
