the very first thing i bought on ebay was a computer modem as mine was fooked, wound it for 3 quid cost 7 quid with postage too

the tosser cashed the cheque and never sent me the modem or even replied to my emails , imtold me mate at the time and him and his cousin decided we should collect it


5am knocking on his door asking for me modem, me mate cousin goes in his house,asked where it was, he offered to hand the money back saying it was broken

me mates cousin said "no probs, he can have this one" and takes his 21ins montior off his desk top and unplugs his pc, starts walking to the door

the guy said fook all and me mate said and we need paying for my and me bros time too, takes 40 quid off him aswell and says " now you aint gonna have the chance to rip anyone off again "



but all i got was 40 quid and me mate kept the pc , he bought me a modem though

oh and the fooker left me bad feed back too, on the 89th day i recived total messer, no contact do not deal with

never heard fook all since
