Just for my own amusement, I visited Cexchange.com. I only get a $187.43 valuation on an iPhone 3Gs in perfect condition. Then, I went to the Cexchange FAQs that state that if their price is different from their original appraisal …“In this situation we will send you an email with our revised appraisal, based on what we received. At that point you can choose to accept our revised offer and receive prompt payment on it, or we will return your items to you free of charge.” Where did they lie?
What about you? If your old posts are true, you said you bought a GoPhone, put in your old SIM, and used it between the time you sent your old iPhone off and getting the iPhone 4. Once you got your iPhone 4, you had no qualms returning it to the store after you didn’t need it anymore. It’s called a fraudulent return, no different than the girl who buys a dress, wears it to the party, and returns it the next day.
Your actions affect all of us. Now, the retailer is left holding the bag for the merchandise you bought knowing you were going to return it. It’s people like you who cause the restocking fees the rest of us have to pay for legitimate returns.
You say that your unemployment benefits ran out and you need the money from the sale of the old phone. You don’t need a lecture from me or anyone else on how to spend your money when you are on unemployment compensation. It’s your money to do with what you will.
OTOH, you won’t get sympathy from me over $181.12 because your unemployment $$$ ran out. In the last couple of months, you purchased a MacBook and an iPhone 4 (and upgraded at a premium ($499) because you are not eligible until next year). From my side of the keyboard, it looks irresponsible.
I just call it like I see it. Did I misunderstand something?
Hope you can sell it on Craigslist or eBay for what you need.
