This guy over in FS/FT had a post looking for dead hardware. I mentioned I had a dead GF2, & to let me know if he was interested. Next thing I know, I have two PM's in my box. I replied in the order they'd been received, by time stamp. The guy that was first got the first crack at it. I told the second guy that, & his response was "Well since you offered it to me in my thread shouldn't it have go to me first?" I didn't recognize either of the names, so I didn't realize that the originator of the thread had even PM'd me.

NOW WTF do I do? The first guy has already agreed to $40 shipped for it, now what?

Tell the guy who made the thread that he was too slow and that it is already sold and that maybe next time chum. ;)

Sold it to guy #1.

Hate it when stuff like this happens. Always end up feeling like a real asshole.

I have to say Viper, I reckon you probably should have sold it to the guy who posted first in the thread to ask for it...Just MHO, hope you don't mind. :)

There's a simple solution you've been overlooking the whole time viper...

















Buy another GF2, hit it with a hammer, and sell it to guy #2

Hit Evan with the hammer while you're at it. Several times to make sure he doesn't get up again.

I think you should've sold it to the guy you replied to in the thread, but it's your hardware so you can do what you want.

<< Why do people want broken hardware?? >>


To perform certain immoral deeds at their local Best Buy/CompUSA ;)

Viper,

Don't feel too bad...as somebody mentioned they'll probably turn it around, shrinkwrap it into a box and try to return it for a working GF2 somewhere! Why the heck else are you gonna buy a GF2? To make a keychain out of the GF2 chip?;)

GL, some people do that actually- others do the return scamola, others try to fix it, others use it as soldering practice, and others use it as a practical joke.

Though most use it as the return scam- it's a shame.
