We have been corresponded which each other for qutie sometime and it was assured that the console is working fine and everything is original.
So I went to his place to collect it. When I checked, i noticed that it's 2 pin flat adapter that doesnt fit our electricity supply and have to get a new adaptor for that. He didn't tell me earlier about it and i asked for RM10 dedcution for that. Fine.
I asked him when i was checking the console and acc. if all the acc. is original and working. He said it is and everything is working very well as he seldom use it. I trust him and left because it was quite late at that time. He said he will give 1month warranty on that.
I have a PS2 myself so i'm quite familiar on how it works. When i reached home i tested it. I noticed that the console doesn't play PS1 and DVDs as claimed.(and i re-confirm with him before i bought it). And the memory card is fake (i have one ori one to compare). And I don't know if the controller's ori cos it doesnt have any "H" sign at the back. The worst part is, one of the controller is faulty (the L2 &R2 button doesnt work, and it have weird sound when u shake it, as if someone parts are broken)
The day after that, I called him about this matter. He said will pay me RM50 for a new ori controller. I agreed cos it has been quite a hassle for me looking for a console for my cousin. I asked him if he can meet me at Great eastern mall and he said no cos he will have to pay for the cab fees and then ended up more to the cost. What about my petrol?? Okay, it's either i waste my petrol and get the RM50 or i get nothing. So fine, I went to his place to get the RM50 for the controller and I went to get a new one which costed me RM75.
I thought the console would have no problem and I didn't play it till a few days ago. And i noticed the console will hang halfway when playing games and some can't even load.(i tested it with my own console, it works perfectly well). I sent to a shop yesterday, the boss told me that it's either the lens problem or the modchip. And the console runs on 110v but our supply is 240v so it might burned the thing.
And yesterday I sent a PM to him regarding this matter politely on how we can deal with this and whether i can get refund for this and some transportation fees for this problem. And he replied in a harsh way and accused me for lowering down his cost.
I think I have paid more cost than he does. For my petrol, time, and the controller.
I trusted him because I thought he was honest with me abou this. but ended up.... he wasn't and gave me wrong info about the console. (2 Original controllers and Ori memory card) my *ss!! He told me that he will share the lossesl when i'm gonna do full refund when i told him about the controller in a phone conversation. And now, when I'm asking for it... he said he's not gonna do it. He tricked me driving to his place because he wanna save $$ on cabs and now when I' asking for full refund he doesnt wanna compensate the losses involved.. SUch an irresponsible seller.
Hope someone here can judge this matter.
Thanks!
Buyer,

I would like to know how you compare an original mem card with fake mem card.
No.2
Controllers, as u seen in DJinn thread is already like 2 years ago and was not updated since. At this moment the current market has H, A and M at the back and it's REALLY hard to differentiate from the original nowadays. Even DJinn agreed on me in private chats. We have now, Grade B, Grade AAA and Grade 99% which now all suprisingly looks and almost feel the same unless we opened it to check on the board. Like say the back letters does not gives any warranty to that of the original controllers.
Plus on my experience, PS2 original controllers have flaws in it. For those who constantly playing Naruto and Winning Eleven, which constantly uses L1,L2,R1,R2 keys are proned of getting stuck. This is based on my experience as a PS2 shop keeper.
No.3
It all really depends what PS2 CD you inserted. The seller is using pirated games or ori games to play and what about you. Also would like to know whether YOUR PS2 is the slim version or the fat version. Usually the slim version has a higher chanse of wear and tear of the lense. Cost to change the lense is about RM60-RM200 depending how good is the lense but usually they will still burnout due to overheating. Modchip, likely but hardly...as said, it depends what media (pirated or original) you put in.

Yeah. it still cost you money but you shouldn't sell it off as original and lied to customer about it.
Even the controller doesnt have "h" on it. I supposed that's fake as well?
Ive sent it to a shop at sg wang to test it. and it has lens problem cos it will hang while playing other games. and as i said i didnot experience this when i tested it with my other console.
You are being dishonest in this.

I am being in no way dishonest. As stated in post two, I played with the PS2 a day before you picked it up from my home. It had no disk read problems and I experienced no lockups. I reported information in my thread based on what I knew. I believe DjiNn has a write-up on how to pick apart an Original controller from an AAA grade one.
QUOTE(chastise @ Sep 22 2006, 07:31 PM)
Well, Ive sent your whole set of console to a shop. That was the outcome.
Yeah yeah yeah...whatever you say. You have lied about the originality of your console, you can further protect yourself with more lies.
When you send things to another shop for checking doesn't mean you too had not been lied by the shop keeper. Sorry, this is based on experience and even friends do that too. The only way to check the originality of a console, controller and mem card is by opening it and check on the circuits board.

Im not happy with the
irresponssible attitude and your harsh language when replying my PM. If you really wanna make this issue bigger. I don't mind. I've lost alot of time, money, effort in this. If you wanna make it bigger. No problem with me!
QUOTE(chastise @ Sep 24 2006, 02:57 AM)

About him refunding?
He did not reply the PMs i sent regarding this. So how?
Weird. I see contradictions in this. If you have the PM kindly print screen it up here. Just to hear both sides of the stories.
I'm here to enlighten you guys in terms of technical part. However my shop is far from you guy, in Kuala Selangor
