Good day guys!

Just to inform u to be careful of this buyer by the name of Ms. Haylie (012-431 3471)...

In a nutshell, Haylie communicated with me via text messaging and intending to purchase an iPod Classic 80GB on July 30... After several more text messages, the deal was pretty much sealed on the same day with intention to meet at Curve the following friday (Aug 1) to do the handover + payment... Somehow, the deal was postponed as I was unavailable and Hayle was also busy with other things...

We then proposed to meet on Monday for the handover but that's where the problem started... Her last text message to me was on Aug 2 and from there on, i followed up with her on a confirmed date to meet up (as i had ordered the item and it's currently in my hands) but there was TOTALLY no response from her... Not a single reply to my text messages or even a pick-up of my phone calls...

I can understand if Haylie may not want to follow through with the deal (after all, there are lots of good deals on iPods outside also!)... But at least drop me a msg or inform me via phone call that the deal is off... Its not nice to keep a seller waiting for days and not hearing any news at all!

Anyway, I'd like to inform u sellers to be careful of Ms. Haylie... Hopefully she does not do the same thing to u guys like what she's doing to me now!

Oh ya, for a more detailed communication between both me and the buyer (Ms. Haylie), here are the text messages sent between both of us and from the first msg.
Haylie (July 30, 0259 hrs)

Haylie (July 30, 1257 hrs)

Haylie (July 30, 1922 hrs)

Haylie (July 30, 2054 hrs)

Haylie (July 30, 2057 hrs)

Note: i deleted my sent messages until July 30, so there is no more record of my replies to Haylie...

THTGadgets.com (July 31, 1931 hrs)

Haylie (July 31, 1934 hrs)

THTGadgets.com (July 31, 1935 hrs)
Thanks... I'll keep u informed...

Haylie (July 31, 1936 hrs)
Btw, may i ask wats the surface texture of silver iPod? is it d same as black one or diff?

THTGadgets.com (July 31, 1937 hrs)
The same, only diff. is the color...

Haylie (July 31, 1938 hrs)
Lol its just that light color gets dirty easily and scratches will be very noticeable


I then sent a msg on the morning of Aug 2, intending to reconfirm our appointment on that day... Here goes!
THTGadgets.com (Aug 2, 0859 hrs)
Good morning... Is our deal still on? Didn't hear from u...

Haylie (Aug 2, 0906 hrs)
Im really sorry but can we deal on monday early morning? i havent gone to the bank
(Note: this is her last msg to me, and from that point on, i was unable to contact her totally, until today...)

THTGadgets.com (Aug 2, 0907 hrs)
No prob... How about mon afternoon then? I've also got something on in the morning... where do u want to meet, btw?


And lastly, here are all the text msg that I sent to her from Aug 2 until today and all without replies... I'm wondering what is going on at the buyer's end, whether she has purchased another unit and didn't want to inform me or something else...
THTGadgets.com (Aug 4, 0936 hrs)
Good morning... Are we still meeting up later today?
(Note: i sent this msg to remind her of our appointment on that day, which is Monday)

THTGadgets.com (Aug 4, 1406 hrs)
Good day... Haven't heard from u today... Are u still interested in purchasing that iPod?

THTGadgets.com (Aug 4, 1605 hrs)
Good day again... The iPod is already with me... So when do u want to meet up for handover? Pls return my call, thanks!

THTGadgets.com (Aug 5, 0912 hrs)
Still haven't heard from u? Are u still intending to purchase the iPod Classic, stock which is now in hand?

THTGadgets.com (Aug 6, 0923 hrs)
Good day again... Still can't get any response from u? Pls get back to me regarding the iPod by today, failing which i will lodge a dispute thread in lowyat.net


Finally, my patience snapped and this msg was sent to Haylie this morning:
THTGadgets.com (Aug 7, 1037 hrs)
Since i have not heard from u yesterday, i've got no choice but to open a dispute thread on LYN... Unless u are able to get back to me today


I can't understand these ppl at times... Is it so hard to make just a simple phone call or text message to inform the seller on the status? I know nuts about whether she still wants to proceed with the deal or not!

hi..just an opinion~
maybe she dont have any money rite now..or maybe she's in dispute area..without internet ~ childish rite?
dun sell to her..just sell to others

TS, could you link FKK thread and profile...

Hey guys, thanks for ur comments... I was lucky though, as i managed to sell off that iPod a few weeks after the FFK...

And Haylie also texted me, apologizing for her no-response as she spoilt her mobile and had to get it repaired... Also, she ran out of cash because of that and had to abort the deal...
