Change your name and move.
What exactly is this guy claiming? Does the console work with the stuff it was sold with?
I've actually had to deal with similar situations.
"This system doesn't work! I want my money back!"
I hook it up, it works fine.
"Well it's not playing any of my games!"
I ask that he goes home and gets some of his games. He returns. The games are beat to fuck. When I point this out, maybe 50% of the time I'll get the "I've had worse looking games than this before and they worked!" Like the exception is the rule.
Thanks for reminding me why I hate people.
of course, i tested before i put it up for sale with the games i sold it with. those were my only games.
it's an NES that had it's 72 pin connector replaced by someone i bought it from a couple of years back. i never really got any more games for it and it sat in my closet. i gave him a controller, light gun, power adapter, and a RF cable. including mario/duck hunt,rygar, and fester's quest.
all working. he said the other games he tried to play, it take him 3-4 times before they work and he tested them on a NES clone system. don't know anything about those, never tried one or had one.
Threaten him and his family.
A fucking NES? I warranty all my systems, except those fucking things. I refurb them but all it takes is some asshole to disregard the speech I give when selling one about how it's important to thoroughly clean any game with q-tips and alcohol before using it to fuck the system up again.
Seriously. Tell him if he doesn't send you the money or system you'll maul him horrible things.
Follow up on this by mailing him dead animals.
pretty much this.
I ended up having to give some guy half his money back on a $250 drum that he orginally only paid 100 for. I mean, I made money off of it, but giving someone back $50, still sucks.
I said a lot of stuff in the auction like it was heavily used. It has been used by kids. Had pictures of it where there was rust and scratches on the chrome.
But I didn't say "as is"
fucking ebay/paypal
I agree with everyone who's said he should ship it back and then you can refund his money minus the shipping cost.
Don't worry about him having your name and address. I doubt he's going to mug you over not getting a free NES.
