When I told him my 5 was coming today, I told him I would be ready to sell it soon. I just had to set up my new phone and wipe the 4. We were chatting through work IM. Then he asked if I would sell it to the guy who drives the taxi he takes to work sometimes for $100. He asked me because the driver is good to him because he lets him owe him for the rides sometimes. He doesn't have a car right now, so I guess the same taxi driver takes him a lot.
So I thought for a few and then sent a message back....Something like....I understand that you want to help out your driver, but I wanted to give it to you.....
I didn't mention anything about price for the other guy. I was just saying that I wanted him to buy it, not some guy I didn't know. I had offered it to him a couple of weeks ago and he said he would probably want to buy it.
I think he gambles on sports and that is part of the reason he doesn't have a car. I don't know the whole story, but I knew he walked a lot and didn't have any phone at all, so I was trying to be nice. Then I hear about the taxi driver and I was a little taken back. So I don't know. I was going to give it to him and let him pay me a little at a time. Now I am wondering if I say no about the taxi guy if he would sell it to him anyway for more then $100 after buying it from me
I know it's dumb to care who ends up with my phone, but I was committing to selling it to him and then he does the taxi guy thing.
Eff that noise. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm thinking I can get ~180 to 200 for my 16gig in real good condition BUT if a close friend wants it then I would definitely sell it to them for 100 or so...
If he wants it for his taxi driver then he can buy it off of you for $200...and he can take the loss when he sells it...
