NOTE! BAD Irresponsible buyer - tanidepigu (evidence as shown inside post) vgohyk May 6th, 09, 11:50 PM #1 (permalink)
Hi all.

Here's a note to all sellers and I've got some evidence to prove. So please beware of tanidepigu.

First of all, I would like to clarify that I do not wish to make this big but just to serve as a warning so that the rest can be caution about such buyers as well. I feel totally ridiculous when I received the trader feedback he left for me. I didn't want to make this an issue ever since it happened yesterday night and decided to let it go. But apparently with his feedback to me, I couldn't help but to justify myself.

I have NEVER encountered such a nasty incident like this before. Count myself unlucky. Totally.

Please read on with a neutral heart.

Kindly click on most images if you feel it's too small for a larger view.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So it all started when he bidded this particular item I am selling here in vr-zone forum - WTS: Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-101 When I received his bid, I contacted him via PM and decided to sell it to him.





After I have made myself clear via PM, I contacted him via SMSes and he was all okay about the arrangement. At least that was what it seemed to be because he didn't probe me with any further questions.







So in the end, I didn't manage to deliver it to him coz' he didn't appear at all.

I didn't confirm with him anything at all saying I will definitely be there on the first night. I already told him before that I can only deliver to him on certain weekdays at certain timing as I need to arrange it with my BF. I've done more than what a seller would do usually coz the car doesn't belong to us at all and I still make an extra effort to save him from any trouble.

He agreed to my timing and still told me that I just need to tell him 1 hr in advance will do. All along I thought he slept late (coz' many do nowadays anyway) as he already agreed to the timing.

The 1st night failed as I couldn't get the transport and I SMSed him at about 12:30am. He said he was waiting all the while and I felt confused coz' he could have SMS me earlier on that he couldn't wait anymore coz' he was falling asleep or things like that and we could arrange another day again. Apparently some misunderstandings occured but then again, I did tell him I would confirm only by 12:30am. Even so if I said I was going to his place by 12:30am, it would take me another 30-45mins or so from my place as I stay far from Telok Blangah.

So, it was okay. I apologized and the next day, I SMSed him again to arrange. So again, he said the 2nd night was fine. At about 11:30pm, I still SMS him again to confirm and if he wished to sleep early he could inform me. He told me to let him know again.. and at 12am, I told him I'll be coming over but it would take some time coz' my BF needs to fetch me first as the item was with me. Apparently, anybody with a common sense would know that it would take a little while more and I DID mentioned that the latest I would reach would be around 1am - 1:30am. He was FINE with it and still gave me the address again.

All along, he was OKAY with everything I had tried to arrange with him. No further qns.. nothing.

So at about 12:13am, my BF was reaching my place and I told him the car model so he could recognized... His last reply was 12:13am. All along, he replied rather fast.

From 12:13am - 12:41am, it was a mere 20 minutes and we drove over there as fast as we could. I reached there much earlier than my estimated time of 1am - 1:30am to him.

One thing was, he agreed to wait. But when I reached, I gave him many calls, he did not pick up. I SMSed him, he didn't reply. So I knew that was it.. he wasn't going to turn up.

I felt totally cheated and so waste of my time. I wasn't even so free as I had to work the next day. But apparently this particular buyer didn't appreciate what me as a seller had arranged for him.

The thing was, if he couldn't wait or felt like sleeping early or for whatever reasons, he could have tell me and we could work something out again. Apparently he didn't make any effort and he is totally IRRESPONSIBLE.

We went down just to delivery to him but he didn't showed up and only today via the trader feedback, he told me HE FELL ASLEEP.

Just earlier on when I snapped shots of those SMSes then I realized there was problem with the addresses he gave me. Both was a different address except it was all at "Telok Blangah". Perhaps he was rich to own a few flats or whatever.. if that was not the case, then he was a total scammer - with 1 at 78 telok blangah drive and another at 57 telok blangah hts.

The main point is, when I told him I was coming over, would I be reaching so fast after our last SMS at 12:13am?? As a buyer he knew I was coming over and had agreed to wait, how could he be so irresponsible to fall asleep??? All my calls to him were unanswered! He didn't even bother to reply back my SMSes and to explain himself.

So when I left him a -ve feedback in vr-zone forum, he returned a feedback from me after MIA-ing last night. By saying till it was all my fault and like there was nothing wrong with him and he didn't even feel bad that we drove all the way there for NOTHING.


Total crap and am just so speechless.

I had arranged such special delivery to a no. of buyers but none were like him.

So people, beware!

well.... felt sorry for u....

but for the first day, maybe u shld have smsed him earlier...

but since u did sms later and apologize so shldnt be a problem if he still keen to deal..

but for second day, i tink both party have their own fault ba, one fell asleep which he shldnt and the other really reaches kinda late but since the buyer had agreed to the timing so he shld have the responsibility to complete e deal..

anyway i tink this is maybe just a misunderstanding, try contact him more and see whether u all can deal through post, registered mail + postage shld only cost around $3++...

Hope u both solve this problem peacefully and withdraw the -ve feedback from each other so as to not affect ur reputation...

since you came to his hse deliver, ask him if he's really sincere about the deal, ask him to come down to your block to collect if he really wants, if not u sell to 2nd highest bidder.

anyways, it's always the buyer that SHOULD travel. just in case buyer pilots. unless special cases, conveniences etc, best you guys nego on a meeting point.

Yes, that's why it was a "added service" but apparently this "added service" was taken for granted..

Wow, seller provide delivery by car to own address liao still like that! I have never got offer from any seller to deliver to doorstep, much less for a cheap item like a bluetooth headset. Next time don't go out of your way to deliver item la... kindness is good if your efforts are appreciated, but sometimes if you're dealing with kiddies (the buyer probably is a kid or teen, can tell) and assholes you lugi nia.
