Hunt him down for what? He didn't try to jack you, one of you dropped the computer. The smart thing would have been to put it on the ground or the table and LET him pick it up. His mistake was your mistake. You're out a pc and cash...hunting him down would be stupid.someguy said:
He dropped it as I handed it to him! Can you believe this! I'm sitting here with a broken ass machine because "butterfingers" over there can't catch a 15lb PC. I told him he had to take it and he got back in his car and drove off!jk
This is definitely not the highlight of my week!
jk
I can't believe this *******. I got his name and cell number, though, so is there anyway to hunt him down?jk again!
Don't quote me on this, though.
Someguy, I won't quote you if you do not quote me, but I will say that what happened is pretty damn hilarious! I want to see photos! How many places was it broken in!? just kidddddddddddddding, too
Wow, I thought you were kidding around at first because it was so unbelievable to read what happened.
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do but take the loss.
That happened to me once with this 4-Track recorder I was buying off somebody. And he came to my office to sell it to me, and I took it up to the office to test it to make sure it worked and all while he waited in the lobby.
So i plugged it in to this extension cord and the power came on for like 3 seconds and then the lights all faded out. After that I couldn't get it back on no matter what I did. So I went back down and told the guy it wasn't working. I did not tell him it did work for a few seconds though. He was kinda shocked about it not working, so I made him test it for himself and after he saw the machine was dead he apologized and left, not too happy.
