About two weeks ago Matt bought an iPod that he found in the local online classifieds from a young guy for $60. The guy told Matt that everything works great and that it’s should be ready to have music loaded on it. Matt gets it home and we can’t get iTunes to do anything with it, so Matt takes it to the Apple store to see what the deal is with it. Turns out the memory is fried and basically won’t ever work again and they’d be willing to give him a 10% off credit towards a new iPod.
At this point Matt is pretty annoyed and decides to try to call the guy and see if he can get his money back. Of course the guy never returns his calls or texts. After talking to some guys from work, Matt and his coworkers come up with this grand scheme…Turns out the guy had other things listed online to sell-their theory is all the things either don’t work or had been stolen. So Matt’s coworker text the guy about one of the items saying he wants to buy it. They set a time and place to meet up to make the sale. Matt meets the guy at the agreed location and confronts him about the faulty merchandise. Boy was the guy scared! Matt had no intentions of doing anything to the stupid kid, he just wanted either his money back or for the kid to at least man up and admit being wrong. So Matt ends up coming home with $30 and an iPod Trip which allows the iPod to be played through the car radio and he kept the faulty iPod so he’ll still be able to get a 10% off credit at the Apple store.
Ha! Hopefully at least the kid learned something from it and won’t try to cheat someone else out of money!
