Why would I lie? If the optical drive was broken I would have scheduled a genius bar appointment the second I found out. The computer was only 4 months old too.
I'm only speculating here. Did I say you ARE lying? No. It's a possibility though. As Dr. House says, Everybody lies! I'm not accusing you at all. I'm just saying it's POSSIBLE. I don't know why you would. It would be a really dumb decision to lie about something like this
a) doubt it.
As I said - it's pretty unlikely it got damaged during shipping - otherwise there'd be a big dent in it.
b) is possible. He used it for 4 days before he even sent me the first email about it being broken. I know if I bought something and it was broken on eBay I would immediately let the seller know.
He might have PURPOSELY broken it or he might just not be very bright and have no clue how to use the optical drive.
The receipt only has my Name, email and last 4 of my CC#. I could black the info out before I send the receipt just to be extra careful, but I'm not sure if he will throw a fit over that. Honestly though, can he really do anything with just that much info?
I don't know what one could do with such information. But if you want to find out, be my guest
Seriously though, I don't know what he can do with that info, which is precisely why I wouldn't send it to him. Especially the credit card part. If I knew what he could do with such information (i.e. nothing) then I probably wouldn't have a problem giving it to him.
I could make him provide a video but I'm almost certain he'll have an excuse not to or why he cant.
Probably.I already told you guys my theory, nothing is wrong with it. He just wants the receipt for some unknown reason. A physical copy of it too.
Unknown to you - he has a reason for this. I would gladly provide the receipt for something I bought at Future Shop because it has no name/address info, but i'd black out the credit information with a dark sharpie marker if I paid via credit card.
Anyway, I have until Monday. I told him I would send it Monday since the post office is closed today.
