What about the person who sell it to you, but not the culprit? Are they being charged by the police?

Thats the purpose of this thread.. remind us to buy a proper 2nd hand stuff.. we need to at least know where it has been bought before. maybe its only 1-2% thats u might be caught.  thumbup.gif

Even if i got it, i cannot sell it, as it is still assumed as BARANG KES. I still need to bring it to police if they do need it in the future. So, i guess, the only way is to sell it to my relative or someone that i know personally.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Huh? Like this your laptops also being held for nothing???

They hold it because the case is not solved?

yes.. as a barang kes. nod.gif

This means the laptop must be held until the case solved right? Do they have any maximum period for the laptops to hold the laptops out?

and steal it

always trade in public with alot ppl around

that is 1 of my main rule when COD. I always COD in public places especially in the shopping mall where there are security guards hanging around the main entrance at least.

Yes.. indeed. About the thread for educate ppl regarding stolen goods, yes, we need it, many ppl not realize the consequence of having a stolen goods. Money comes 1st. smile.gif

Another good thread is to tell people the way how those low lifes cheat people about their technique by creating a thread that summaries all the summary of the con cases.

yes.. just hope that someone might have a will to do that. cheers.  icon_rolleyes.gif

LOL.

How come only one person need to do all the finding, summarize, compiling?

If can, start to form a team to do so. Any criminal instigation drama does not only involve the captain alone only.

No matter how rampant piracy is, there will still be people willing to pay for genuine software.

However, that kind of person might be 1 of out 10 willing to do so.

ok thanks
im planning to buy a laptop from US and i found this thread

It is not wrong to attempt to get a good deal. Just always think rational about it like:

1. Like how come it can be so cheap?
2. Can this fellow deliver or not as promised?
3. would after sales service be an issue for you?

@Apis_LuaLua

Congrats about your promotion as trade enforcer. icon_rolleyes.gif
