Put up my Laptop for sale last night around 10pm:

Got a call within 30 mins. This guy said he wasn't a dealer, I believe he isn't la, he claimed to have left his laptop in a taxi and lost it, needed a laptop urgently for work.

My SB was 700. He said I take it at BNP $900 can? I said $950 I let go, as the hard disk in the laptop was just upgraded 2 months ago to a 320GB 7200rpm with 5 year warranty.

He said ok, but I need it tonight, can u do your backup etc, within the hour. I said ok.

I had school work etc. to do but I still took the time because he said he needed it urgently for work the next day.

30 mins later he calls, says the Taxi company called him and said they found a few laptops, so he's going down to check if any of it is his. He said "I'LL DEFINITELY CALL U BACK WITHIN AN HOUR".

Waited until 2am+ for him. No reply to my sms, call him, didn't pick up.

Smsed him "Hope everything's ok for you dude, if you're not interested in dealing already please let me know."

No reply still.

Today called him, he kiap my phone.

If he's not interested in dealing, at least just tell me, I turned down and lost quite a few bidders because he met my BNP.

Saw him selling Apple Powerbook and Mac Pro in VRZ and HWZ, post count seems quite little, so doubt he will see these forums:

Just a warning to all. If you selling your stuff, careful of this guy, he might fly you kite:

Wah. Very coincedence. After posting this thread within 5 minutes he called me. Said he got his laptop back, wanna haggle the price to $900.

Told him $920 is the lowest I will go.

Dunno if i'm being too nice.

Said he'll call back in 30 mins after his work finishes, lets wait and see.

Lol. He just called and said it's beyond his budget, offered $850 instead.

Easing his way out of the deal I suppose.

Super timewaster. Beware all.

thx for the upz.

he sounded quite old and mature, that's why i believed him, doubt he was a schoolkid.

maybe he genuinely lost and found his laptop, but he could've just told me upfront instead of trying to play games with me.
