hi all mod here...

well, i have a COD session with a forumer here, at 3pm today at KL central. the time and venue is decide by that buyer.

i even SMS him to confirm this yesterday noon, and he no reply. so i PM him again. and finally he reply my PM and then SMS me back. everything confirm.

today, i went to KL central at 1:45pm, and i arrived there at 2:45pm. i took out my phone, thinking to call him, tell him that i am there, waiting at Mcdonald. suddenly, i saw a SMS, at time 2:23pm

"Sori 2 tell u this.my bro juz came back fr da pc fair n he bought me a new a brand new ati x160 pro gpu. i don need da card nymore.realy sry man.no hard feelins."

...................... i really feel frustrating!! it is 2:23pm.. and our COD session is at 3pm. why dont he call me and cancel this????? to avoid this weird situation now, i am here, and no people coming.... it is ok if you want to FFK, but please be a bit responsible ok.... i waste all my petrol, my tol, my parking fee, and i am at the KL central!!

this is something only 100++ ringgit, i dont mean to make this problem big and argue in a public forum. but i really BOH SONG with this irresponsible ppl... a sms at 37min before the time, cancel everything.. not even a call.. i just checked my inbox, no PM also!

please advise me what to do in this situation...

dun deal with him anymore loh. some ppl like that one la, it's his problem and will pull him down later in life

thanks for reminding.

i saw his thread that he want to buy 9550, and i PM him to offer. sorry to say that, i never open a sale thread here.

thanks for advising.

newbie.......

FFK case nothing anyone could do.

EDITED : alternatively there's the idea of paying RM 20 deposit first, just in case buyer last minute FFK. could make this a general practice for CODing cases - although people could abuse this for $$$.

bro.check properly da time i sms u man.i woke up at 6.40am in da mornin 2 sms u.i was worried u cud not receive it in time n i had 2 leave my hse.dun give me 2.23pm crap.u did not call me as my phone did not ring at all.n in da mornin i have lecture's soz i off my fon.i told u 2 strictly sms me.but nyway i'm very sorry for da inconvenience n i extend my sincerest apologies 2 u.i did not mean any disrespect.i assumed dat u had edi received da sms in da mornin.sorry once again.

Woodstock, check the SMS time. Sometimes the message got jammed halfway and can only be sent through at a later time.

nex time use reports...it will tell u if the msg was received by the receiver.

i'm really really sorry woodstock.at least no money was exchanged in da process.otherwise there wud be bigger probs.really sorry.did not mean it on purporse

in addition i have explained my reason for the retraction of my offer and why i'm purchasing a 6200.pls do read ur pm.thx

a few things to inform you...first see the bold words below.

He did not say he called at all. Thinking of calling but when he opened his phone, he saw the sms. There could be only one of two possibilities.

1) He did not hear the sms, probably taking a bath or while he was busy driving
2) Network operator problem. I notice that you say you SMSed at 6.40am. By now you and everyone else should know that some sms don't reach the desired user instantly. ESPECIALLY in the morning when some people have not switch on their handphones...

Solution: JUST MAKE THE BLOODY CALL

pls dun bring in ur dispute in2 dis thread.woodstock.i haf edi offered u a solution.pls do check ur pm again.i haf edi posted ur gpu 2 help u sell.

OK lah, I guess this dispute (misunderstanding) has been peacefully settled.

Way to go guys.

seem like i dont know how to write, how to open a thread...??? huh,..

need you to post a thread on behalf of me...??

i never post a sale thread because i am very happy with this card. good for normal use.

i saw your thread of buying 9550, so i offer you, and you accept it.

hence i need a replacement for it.
i go buy a card, upgrading, just a night before give you the card.

now, you ffk..

yup i know how bad the feeling.. to be ffk ... me oso kena looo
long journey to the cod place then later only know the deal cancel....
wtf..

Okay here's something "weird" :

The buyer's explanation was : my bro juz came back fr da pc fair n he bought me a new a brand new ati x160 pro gpu
This SMS with the explanation was sent at 6:51am Today 21st April

So your bro came back from PC Fair at 6.50 in the morning on the 21st?
Now i'm pretty curious, which PC Fair did he go to at this date and time?
Must be a pretty special one that no one else went to (cause there isnt one that starts so early)

kantoi aledi haha lol

WoodStock, Ah Shawn was referring to SehTC - not YOU.

not. it's not weird. read his message .......



i don't think the buyer so stupid to lie in such a way that opens all grounds to point at him. furthermore if he really wanted to FFK he won't be coming back here to clarify and all - the SMS time also shows.

seeing the way he posted (phrasing and all) perhaps what he meant is that his brother came back - after the confirmation - and seem that the brother bought a card from PC Fair (donno why didn't tell him) and i guess he forgot to SMS you until the morning.

so guys, really - let's not jump the gun cos the 'defendant' should be allowed to speak before conclusion can be made.

//and what's this gotta do with Malacca PC Fair............sheeesh. and kantoi apa?

True, i'm not accusing anyone of anything
Just pointing out the things that dont match
It could be that the explanation is that simple, but it could be that he made a mistake when making up an excuse
And i agree, lets wait for him to answer instead of pointing fingers, and lets not show him an open door beforehand too


He was refering to Woodstock
The back part which states that he's already opened a thread to help him sell his card
That obviously doesnt solve anything, that's why Wood's even more pissed

I'll quote a few posts from Shawn in other threads :

Nvidia 6200 thread 1


6200 Thread 2


9550 Thread 1


9550 Thread 2


If you're wondering, yes Woodstock was about to sell his 9550ge @ RM180, i'm guessing the one where Shawn almost got "ripped off" on
Now i'll let u all decide based on that
But his intensions are pretty clear

And again, as goldfries said, dont come posting stuff like "kantoi already!", you're not helping anyone with that
