big money heavyweight

Ok, maybe some of you old-timers may remember that I had a bad experience buying an iPod on ebay (about 3 years ago).
Part 1
Part 2;
Anyhow, I can't find the entry that said I finally got a refund from this incredibly fishy guy. After all of my threatening to report him to the police, I was just glad to have my money and didn't report him.

Somehow, he got prosecuted, because I'm not sure that he returned everyone's money. Basically, if you don't know the story, he was selling "fake" iPods on ebay and then said, "Oh I sent them." He had a couple different names and addresses in Ohio and it was a big pain.

So I never offered any additional testimony or anything. I had my money so I could get a real iPod from the Apple store. But still. Justice is now being served. He'll be out in 2 1/2 years.

(Moral of the story is to not sell fake iPods on Ebay. They'll find you.)

This was just recently. They sent me notices through the trial and he may have gone to jail a month or two ago. But when he gets out, he can't come after me, cuz I had nothing to do with it! For me, paying me the "refund" was all the payment I needed from him.

I do not blame you! But still, you could always ask for the hardship or whatever you had to endure =)

Re: 2 1/2 Years of Hard Time

btw it's great talking w/you real time like this again. at work I have to use my iphone for mindsay and guess what? It will only let me type a line (about) before cutting me off, so a decent conversation is really tough to pull off. It sucks! Where's the Mindsay application for the iPhone (Adam O.!!)?
