I Got Scamed From Someone On This Board (Xbox 360)

Champagne Brown's Avatar
Well I responded to a post in the ISO. All I said was does it come with games and if he had any takers yet. I get a pm in my inbox saying CB I'll do a trade with you. I stated I was thinking about doing it for one of my boys cause he wanted one.

Bottom line it does not work the main screen comes up but the games does not load period!!! When he came in he said do you want to see it works. So the first TV we were going to hook it up to he said it was not going to work and had to buy some part.
So told him I have another tv which was a older tv and nothing so he told me he might need to get these cords from gamestop. He said sorry and that it worked that day and he would'nt come all the way over if it did'nt. So we go to gamestop still nothing. But I decided to take him up on his word it worked.

We did the appt he left and then decided to hook it up to the first tv he said it would work on unless I bought the parts. Well I did'nt need any part got it up all I can see is the main screen but wont load. Contacted him back he was trying to make me feel like im a idiot and he was whats so complicated about it. I took it to Mircosoft told me the DVD drive is shot the seal had been broke and thats what people do to modify it. And it is a big Scam people do. He asked what do I want him to do told him to come and pick it up cause I have no use for it and make it right and he said nothing.



Never again

I'm pretty sure some chap mentioned the idea was a "FAIL" & getting ripped off is kinda Alert-ish. Guess this one could go in either forum.

Perhaps you should have had it 100% working first then traded session. He said it needed a part? He should have gotten it and then came back to verify it worked. Call the motherfucker out!

Word is not bond in our hobby.
Yes; There are a lot of wonderful people in this hobby but then there are those who intrude and cause conflict.

I'm not saying what he did was right, but this is a cheap and easy fix.

Come to think of it, would you consider a trade with me if I can get it working? LMAO
Now that is just damn dirty.
