What happened was we did a phone trade and he gave me his Iphone which I thought was fully working. I tested it out and everything seemed good. I go home and the usb cable that plugs into the Iphone only goes in halfway and if I move the cable just a little bit it disconnects from the computer. I contacted him and he says its a small problem and he didnt think he should have ran it by me. Now he is ignoring me after I asked him to just undue the trade or pay $20-$40 so I can fix it somewhere.

Well Im kind of ticked off and dont get how someone would just do that and not try to resolve the issue. And before anyone goes and says its my fault that I didnt test the phone, no one would think to plug in a usb cable to see if it fits in the Iphone. Anyways, stupid of him he forgot to wipe his contacts and his facebook account. What would you do in my place? Let it go? Iphone warranty ran out so its coming out of my pocket.

Just suck it up and go fix it at a store. Trying to get back to him will just make you feel worse. Maybe you got a good deal and now spending a couple bucks extra to fix it will just make it an "ok" deal.

At the end of the day you learned a good lesson off cl trades. I have seen much worse ripoffs.

And do those cables work without issue on your new iphone?

And do those cables work without issue on your new iphone?


I have another iphone and the cables work on it but none work on this Iphone I just received. To the other poster: I know its his contacts as he has pictures that go back almost a year so it was his personal phone.

That's one DUMB MFer to sell someone an iPhone and not even reset it... LOL.

No one would post on his status (he is logged in on facebook from this Iphone) if they were in my shoes?

post up some pictures.

wait until 2am or 3am and start spamming his fb lol.

His girlfriend just posted that she likes dildos. Im so tempted to say "me too" lol. If he forgot to erase his facebook info its fair game? I cant get in trouble for posting anything under his name?

Technically no bc you own the phone now. However, if you really wanted to do this, do it at a local SB or something, so that IP is not traceable, but then it's Apple, so secure anyway.

If it's stolen... who would care?

Actually doing it at 3am would be a genius idea when everyone is asleep. Just post bunch of bullshit and piss off bunch of his mates. Man if only I was this evil.

If it's stolen... who would care?

Its not stolen. The guy is logged in to his account and its the same guy I met with all his pictures saved in the phone. O

No someone gave me that idea and I just stated what I could have done.

But from your OP, sounds like you're looking for approval to do it. So just do it if you want to.

This guy sounds incredibly dumb. I would fark with him and his girlfriend for your $40 to fix it :lol:

How ironic someone just posted this on his facebook 20 min ago "Truth be told karma aint as pretty as the shit u pull. But the beautiful part is...it always gets u in the end". Would post the pic but I dont know how.

No one would post on his status (he is logged in on facebook from this Iphone) if they were in my shoes?
No, because it isn't entirely his fault - you didn't fully test it, so be a grown up about it.

Also, impersonating someone is often(always?) illegal, so technically you could get in trouble if someone decided to push the issue.

Oh yea its my fault? You think anyone would go far as to try to plug in a usb cable to an iphone to make sure it goes in all the way? Give me a break. You blaming me for this is laughable.

Oh yea its my fault? You think anyone would go far as to try to plug in a usb cable to an iphone to make sure it goes in all the way? Give me a break. You blaming me for this is laughable.

It's craigslist. You have to make sure EVERYTHING works. If it doesn't, and you don't check it, yeah, it's your fault.

Don't want to be at fault? Then buy a new one with a warranty.

If you'd try reading again, you'll see I only placed part of the blame on you - you bought off craigslist without testing EVERYTHING.

Should he have told you? Sure.

But should you have checked it? Yes!

Common sense tells me you dont have any. Thats for the two posters above me. Check everything!!!? Give me a break. Who in the right mind would take the time to plug in a usb cable to a phone to see if it fits! Seriously all it takes is an hour on a forum before some idiot comes along and starts blaming the poster and not the liar on craigslist.

I would've hooked the phone to my computer to make sure it registered! Not just hooked up a cable on its own.

Checking everything about a used item should be common sense.

You're so right! Keep buying shit on craigslist without checking if everything is in working condition! Then every time you get screwed over, you can make a thread and bitch about what a liar the seller is! :bulb:

:iagree:


I think he's a little bitter and obviously in denial. :lol:

Let me just say this. I bought over 200 iphones in my time and never needed to plug it in and everything worked out as I test what I buy to what I consider to be thorough and last thing I should do is check a usb port on the Iphone or worry about it. Blaming me for not doing a 100 point inspection is just wrong. Just because you bought a phone or whatever else once a year and have the time to do that 100 point inspection than thats your decision. Dont tell me thats its my fault for being screwed just because I didnt test one thing.

:rolleyes:

He's the idiot for not wiping his data. I say he should get what's coming to him. This is a lesson people need to learn when passing off their electronics to other parties.

I have no sympathy for idiots like these (aka "I left my facebook account logged in at the Apple Store.")

I'm not saying destroy his life...just post some crap on his profile so he'll know how to change his password. Privacy is more important than ever nowadays, and generally people are too loose with their data.

OP is at fault for not checking for hardware defects, but even if that wasn't the case, he should have still wiped his data.

What happened was we did a phone trade and he gave me his Iphone which I thought was fully working. I tested it out and everything seemed good.

OP, have you ever heard the saying, 'Caveat Emptor'? If you really have, as you claim, "bought over 200 iphones" that were used and this is the first time there was something wrong with something on one of them that you didn't check before buying, then you need to go out an buy a lottery ticket. Either you're the luckiest person in the world or you're lying.

Reread my post. I said I inspect my phones thorough but Im not someone who is going to do a 100 point inspection and wait an hour testing every single thing. So yea its the first one out of 200 where the USB port was broken. But anyway this is all my fault and you guys have common sense. Cheers

I don't know about the posting on FB thing, but I would consider calling the contacts in his phone and asking them if they can get into contact with him since he sold you a broken phone on purpose and ever since you asked him to make it right you can't get a hold of him anymore.

It's your money. If you're going to be an idiot about it, then you deserve what you get.


So what did you hope to gain by posting about it here? Sympathy? Approval of messing up the guy's facebook account or messing with his contacts? Because you clearly weren't looking for honesty.

How about you read my first post and you'll know. All the post was about was whether I should drop it or do something about it as I had his info. Instead couple idiots turned it into how I'm the one to blame for this happening to me because I didn't check the phone properly. It's a f***ing USB port! Ask ten people that bought a phone on Craigslist and see if even one checked the port. You probably won't believe me when i say this and tell me I'm a liar and need to stop creating threads everytime I get screwed on Craigslist but I also sold 100's of phones and guess what not one person checked the port. But I'm guessing they are idiots because checking the port is crucial or you are asking for trouble right? I didn't create this thread for you to tell me what I did wrong. Like I said earlier if you wait long enough someone will come along to turn it around where OP is in the wrong when this thread wasn't even about that!

If it were me I would change his FB password (if you can do that) and have some fun at his expense. Oh and then suck it up and pay $30 to fix the issue.

Update: just got back from this new massage parlor, all the ladies there were Asian and HOT! The massage was only $50, but I spent an extra $80 and WOW! Going back tomorrow!

Update: so I talked to my GF recently... Jesus she is a bore. I would break up with her, but I think I can score a 3-some first

Update: My last issue of Bulk Male came today... Happy its here, sad it is the last one.

Update: Still 2 inches... Those "male enhancement" pills dont do jack

Update: My GF is getting fat. I wouldnt even drive her and her friend to work today. I set them off on the bus.

Update: God I hope this isnt herpes

Caveat emptor.

OP, a 100 point inspection isn't required to find a broken USB port.

One of the major things you do when inspecting a phone is plug it in to make sure it will mount correctly.

He's a jerk for not telling you, but life aint always fair.

Should you mess with him a bit? Yeah for sure!

You need to stop blaming everyone else though. You sound like a child.

Am I the only one who thinks OP is just a trollollollollolling?

Post on facebook about how good he screwed you and how you didn't use any protection.

Close this thread. Bunch of morons on this lounge.

It's gotta be rough when you think EVERYONE else is wrong..... just take this thread and apply it to your life....rethink your actions bub

I sold a professional Nikon on Craigslist recently. The girl didn't even touch it before giving me the money. I had the original box and I swear if I didn't open it to show her the contents she would have taken it without looking at it. There could have been a brick in the box and she wouldn't have known. Whenever I buy something I throughly check it to the best of my abilities, even bring my own accessories to test if I'm planning on using the item(s) with other things. Don't screw with him, you don't know him. It's your fault you didn't check the phone out.

It's your fault for being screwed because you didn't test the phone thoroughly.

Seriously, you spent your money. No one spent it for you. Is it not your responsibility to ensure when you spend your money you get what you pay for? :scratch:

So basically, i had someone screw me on a stolen iphone.

took me 24 hours to get my money back. Showing up at someones house when they don't thing u know where they live is priceless.

Its also nice scaring the shit out of them.

Bought $350 iphone, it was stolen....Got my money back, enuf said.

Who in the right mind would take the time to plug in a usb cable to a phone to see if it fits!


I would have plugged it into a charger. I'm obviously out of my mind :whee:

Well, chalk this up as a lesson for next time.

You should absolutely be doing a thorough inspection and asking questions. As others have mentioned, caveat emptor. I definitely agree that the guy (ethically) should have told you what was wrong, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do your own due diligence to ensure the phone is working properly. You're both at fault here.

Yay for taking business law classes. :whee:

Did you change his facebook relationship status to "I'm single"? Or better yet change it to another girl. Current gf will be so pissed at hI'm.

You could easily take over the world with the crazy schemes you come up with.

or maybe Op has a bad usb port on their pc;)

Just read the bolded part like...a mofillion times.

Guess you need to add this issue to the list of problems that have slid by you in your 200 iphone purchases.

First item on the list: Buying off CL means the person hopes to phuc you over in some way shape or form.

For the fifth time I didn't come here to ask who's at fault for getting/selling a broken iPhone. Obviously he screwed me over and I cane here and said I had bunch of info on him and asked what you would do in my shoes. I don't really care if you all check the port as 100's of people I sold my phones to never did and I never did. But that'd not even the issue so fuc**ng drop it.

I did put in his status that he's in Al Quida(sp).

You mad.

It's your fault you didn't check the phone out.
He was asking for it walking down a dimly-lit street dressed like that.

But, yes, correct. It is the OP's fault he failed to realize there are more evil people in the world than he apparently realizes.

What happened was we did a phone trade and he gave me his Iphone which I thought was fully working. I tested it out and everything seemed good. I go home and the usb cable that plugs into the Iphone only goes in halfway and if I move the cable just a little bit it disconnects from the computer. I contacted him and he says its a small problem and he didnt think he should have ran it by me. Now he is ignoring me after I asked him to just undue the trade or pay $20-$40 so I can fix it somewhere.

Well Im kind of ticked off and dont get how someone would just do that and not try to resolve the issue. And before anyone goes and says its my fault that I didnt test the phone, no one would think to plug in a usb cable to see if it fits in the Iphone. Anyways, stupid of him he forgot to wipe his contacts and his facebook account. What would you do in my place? Let it go? Iphone warranty ran out so its coming out of my pocket.

Wrong. Physical damage is especially what I'm looking for when I'm looking at used electronics. I always check all of the ports and memory card slots to see if they're in good physical condition and I check every button to see if works AND if it 'clicks' like it should. I'd also inspect the area near the ports to see what kind of wear it has. I once turned down an HTC Incredible because the area near the charge port was so worn that it wasn't even black anymore (The Incredible is red plastic painted black, so heavy wear is super easy to identify). The last thing I want is a charge port that's 1-2 years old with heavy use already.

Let me just say this. I bought over 200 iphones in my time and never needed to plug it in and everything worked out as I test what I buy to what I consider to be thorough and last thing I should do is check a usb port on the Iphone or worry about it.

Go thread crap somewhere else idiot.

You should know better then to purchase used electronics from Craigslist. I dont even trust eBay for used electronics and they offer a 90 day buyer protection.

Buy a Buick.

pretty funny you're calling others idiots.

why don't you be thankful that this is the first issue you've had from buying hundreds (which sounds like a damn lie anyway) of phones. seriously, you could've got a phone that simply quit working all together, and you'd be more screwed. you're crying over nothing really considering the minor issue. and yes it is your own fault, no one else. changing the subject to "I screwed myself on a craigslist transaction" would be much more appropriate. then you post it online admitting fault (whether you believe it or not) to a public forum, and feel bad for not listening to what everyone is telling you. learn much.

Let it go?" - you are whining like a little b*tch online because your feelings got hurt, when people are telling you exactly what to do/what you proposed in the first place.

would you feel better if we told you to go hunt him down? - yeah go do that, so we can read about it on the news. you bought something AS IS = buyer beware. you're acting like you bought a used car, didn't have a mechanic check it out, and days later the tranny went out - again that would be your fault, not the seller. get it

the tranny went out
You leave jaydid out of this! :mad:

No they are not telling me what to do. They go off that topic and keep telling me how it was my fault that I got screwed. Get it now you dumb idiot!?

You have a duty to uourself and others to punish him, if he doesnt realize screwing other bring consequences then he will contine to ripoff others and laugh it up. Unless u get payback!!!

:iagree: 100% & if you can't (or aren't willing to) mete out the retribution yourself, call Frank Castle or Deadpool.

Or Aquaman. I hear he's between jobs just now. Bad economy & all. Throw the guy a bone already!

Do you need a happy pill? http://i39.tinypic.com/vpers4.jpg

Did you not notice that the powers to be have already removed some of your hostile posts?

It was your fault that you got screwed.

What happened was we did a phone trade and he gave me his Iphone which I thought was fully working. I tested it out and everything seemed good. I go home and the usb cable that plugs into the Iphone only goes in halfway and if I move the cable just a little bit it disconnects from the computer. I contacted him and he says its a small problem and he didnt think he should have ran it by me. Now he is ignoring me after I asked him to just undue the trade or pay $20-$40 so I can fix it somewhere.

Well Im kind of ticked off and dont get how someone would just do that and not try to resolve the issue. And before anyone goes and says its my fault that I didnt test the phone, no one would think to plug in a usb cable to see if it fits in the Iphone. Anyways, stupid of him he forgot to wipe his contacts and his facebook account. What would you do in my place? Let it go? Iphone warranty ran out so its coming out of my pocket.
you can always try bluffing. tell him you want to swap back and if he doesn't you'll report your iphone was stolen and have it bricked.

Ok I dropped it and left him off the hook. Was going to show up at his house but after calling couple psychiatrists I reconsidered. Sorry for being rude to others. Next time I wont give out the details and will just ask the question straight out so people don't go off topic and piss me off.

are you Asian? just wondering.

Close this thread. Bunch of morons on this lounge.

:rofl2:



:crying2:

:roll:

The best part about that post... is this thread continues for another two and a half pages. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Looks like I came into this thread after the fun was already over.

I can't believe the OP would be daft enough to buy an Iphone without hooking it up to a computer to see if everything worked :rofl2:

Common sense could be dangerous in the hands of the inept. OP would probably shoot his eye out with it.

For the fifth time I didn't come here to ask who's at fault for getting/selling a broken iPhone. Obviously he screwed me over and I cane here and said I had bunch of info on him and asked what you would do in my shoes. I don't really care if you all check the port as 100's of people I sold my phones to never did and I never did. But that'd not even the issue so fuc**ng drop it.

I did put in his status that he's in Al Quida(sp).

I agree with the original poster. But you're biggest mistake was expecting an honest discussion from the lounge. I learned quickly that this is not the place to post serious issues.

I also noticed a discrepancy between the internet (particularly this site) and real life. I feel l am entering opposite land. The trick it to take every reply with a grain of salt and think "Yeah...right..." and move on to the next.

It took me 24 hours to finally get one on my side.. yes. Anyways I have posted in the past on ebay forums and after three threads I learned that even if you are right and the person that screwed you it would take less than an hour for the members to find some crap to turn it around and start talking bad about me even though that wasnt even the issue I addressed.

I thought slickdeals was going to be different but I guess I was wrong. Why go after the bad guy when he isnt even here right? Might as well go after the OP and find something about him to bitch about and forget the whole point of the post. There I just contributed to your three pages. I hope you guys get it.

a fool and his money are soon parted. it was your fault that you got screwed. Get it now you dumb idiot!? :bulb::wave:

Dont be a vag get ur damn revenge he knowingly said he knew about the issue thats a big Fu that he didnt at least deny it. Once I had a web design client rip me off and leave me access to his ftp. He ended up out of business after I posted pics of a guy fkin a chicken on hos page claiming it was him... Ahhhh sweet revenge punish those who deserve it and dont have the morals to be honest dealing

His fault for having faith in people? Sad that those who trust others are considered fools but no matter this was not an obvious issue and could and is a mistake most would make . Its not like the phone was dead or did not work upon inspection

Holy shit someone actually read my original post and answered my question. Well I'll be damned.

Guy screwed me
He plugged his what into your where and it kept disconnecting?

OP are you from Illinois? (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/illinois/man-calls-911-over-broken-iphone-874903)

mcjizz is quite a feisty little n00b ain't he? :lol:

Ive sold laptops and tablets on cl at least 20 no one has ever opened the box to test it or look at it ive sold an iphne used too all they did was check that It turned on. I could have screwed them all but didnt and they trusted me like u did that guy. He obviosly wasnt screaming crook. And its usually not worth the hassel of pissing someone off by screwing them unless its something very big which this was not. U did nothing wrong and ull just have to be less trusting in the future because people like that exist and most of them are probably on here calling u stupid because they lack human decency. I trust people because I trust I will pay them back any wrong doing ten fold!

You should announce what he did on his profile so his friends and family see how much of a lowlife he is also if u have his emails n stuff u can get his pw agai. If changed and u can change all his pws and lock himout fer good

mcjizz is quite a feisty little n00b ain't he? :lol:

WTF I think most of you apart from a handful are that person that I just dealt with. A piece of shit that doesnt know that what he did was wrong. Im a noob? Fu** you loser!

I'm a piece of shit that doesnt know that what he did was wrong.
:secret: What you did wrong was to buy an Iphone without testing it out completely.

Man, you still don't understand the word "partially" ?

Nobody was saying it was entirely your fault (until after you went crazy about it), only partially - I repeated several times that most of the fault lies with the person who sold it to you and didn't tell you, but there is a small portion of the fault that lies with you for not testing it.

How do you not understand this?

Read my 1st post! Did I for once asked anyones opinion whos fault it was or if even it was partial? No! The point of the post was something completely different you idiots. I dont give a fu** if it was 100% my fault or 50%. I said this 10 times and pricks keep repeating the same bullshit.

And I also answered that, but I guess you ignored it as well :p

First reply I did:

Also, impersonating someone is often(always?) illegal, so technically you could get in trouble if someone decided to push the issue.

OP, Next time, if you want a better response, you post in the Hot Deals or the Freebies Section. They are much more helpful than The Lounge.

Holy shit someone actually read my original post and answered my question. Well I'll be damned.
I read your post and told you what to do about seven pages ago. Tell his contacts on the phone you are trying to get in touch with him because he sold you a broken phone and now he won't return your calls.

I sold a $100 phone recently on c list. I started showing the guy everything is functional... then, judging by his demeanor, I said, "I don't have to be doing this because you're going to buy this anyway, aren't you." "Yeah." 'Course, some people simply live in shadier areas than others and expect people to be evil.

I do wonder if the replies would be the same if the thread was about a woman walking at night alone and got attacked. It's her fault for dressing like that, I guess.

I tried it. I hate it. All that scrolling, scrolling, SCROLLING! :annoyed:

A click to the next page is easier.

After being gone most of the weekend, I'm trying to get up to speed. Are we still allowing the OP the illusion he is successfully trolling us or have we reached the point where we really don't care?

Love the thread title.

I thought about making one about Madoff screwing me out of my life savings on an investment transaction, or having the head guys at Enron do the same, or getting my car stolen because I dared to drive it in theft-capitol San Diego, or maybe one about getting mugged while buying a bad-USB-port iPhone off Craigslist, to see if those things would also be considered my fault, but eh.

His fault for having faith in people? Sad that those who trust others are considered fools but no matter this was not an obvious issue and could and is a mistake most would make . Its not like the phone was dead or did not work upon inspection

yeah but Master OP phone buyer/inspector has done this 200 times before, so, yeah, duh

People who knowingly invested in Madoff are at fault. Those who trusted their money with others who put their money unknowingly with Madoff are not at fault.

Important to distinguish that. :lol:
