I lent him 65 dollars in exchange for an old ipod and the money back in a week. After two months of him saying just a little bit longer he has stopped returning pms. So just to let you know don't deal with this guy he is super shady.
really, youd pay $65 dollars for a scratched up first generation ipod mini with a bunk battery. THen why didn't you buy it when he was trying to sell it a while back?
Maybe he also didn't have the money. Point is, you tried to make a quick buck when obviously you don't have the money to be lending out and now you're in trouble. Also, a working ipod is worth atleast $50. It probably cost him $5-$10 to ship it. Scratches mean shit unless you're the type of person who values their life on how they look, not function, and a battery is literally $10 on ebay. You can even get an extended life battery that lasts twice as long as the original ipod batteries.
I do have the money to lend out, however $65 is $65 no matter how much money you have. I yeah i agree i shouldn't have lent out the money but i thought his reputation was good... guess not. And btw are you trying to buy the ipod?
i bought an ipod nano player/charger from east and he failed to state he lost the cable to power and charge the player making it totally useless as a charger and only useful as a player if you put 6 double aa batteries in it. as far as i'm concerned the kid is a shady little douche.
the real world will catch up with you soon son, once your parents stop paying for everything and you have to support yourself.
naw your the classic new jersey douchebag for making this post, i sold you a $100 ipod nano dock that had been bearly used for like $25.... I even apologized about not including a dc-adapter cable its not really a bigdeal you can find them anywhere for a couple bucks
keep blowing up my name though, no such thing as bad publicity
considering it seems like he's never actually stolen anything from anyone on NS i think "eastAR5 is another kid who just gets distracted and has ADD" would be more fair.... you haters are just straight homo
californiafornia grown ur a little bitch , you got a fucking free ipod and he's eastAR5 he's obviously gona pay you back. way to make a 3 page thread about your bitching
so what people make mistakes, he said he's sold over 100 things and so what, he fucked up the shipping of 3 or 4 of them?
that means that like 95% of the time he's been super legit with everyone else
why would i be grateful some little pussy sold me an ipod charger that doesn't charge my ipod
you're definitely going to need those couple of extra years to get your grades up before you can go out west, hope your parents don't mind pissing away tuition
Exactly. I don't deny that having to wait for lent money is kinda gay, but it's not like he's gonna rob you of $65. He just smokes too much and forgets it, and that's really the root of the problem. You'll get it eventually, although you could be less of a dick about it Adrian..
Just an FYI about eastAR5, I know 3 of my friends that have bought from him and I bought from him. Out of my friends, we all got our stuff. One of them had to make a callout thread. I have never heard of any one getting ripped off by him. It may take 3+ months but in the end you will probably get your stuff.
I think you and so many other people are missing the entire point of this situation. I have no thoughts on either party in this case but I do have strong feelings towards it.
65 dollars is 65 dollars. There is a difference between lending money to an aquantance and lending to a friend. With a friend, you know whether or not you'll get the money back by the quality of person your friend is. I'm the same as you I have friends that owe me quite a lot of money just from over the years of them bummin off me. But I don't care because they probably paid me back by smoking me out or giving me a ride or whatever. But I also have money out there owed to me by people who promised to pay me back, they swore. I'll never see the money again, not because I haven't asked but because there are people who are kind and trustworthy, and there are those that are not. Unfortunatly I have to learn the hard way that these people are not trustworthy and therefore not good people. I believe that a man's word is all he has.
But to get back to this situation eastAR5 is someone I've never dealt with. But NS is an online community, yes but it is also a huge extended family. I've hooked up and gotten hooked up by so many people on this site its awesome. We should be able to trust each other as fellow skier family members. It seems to me that eastAR5(adrian) wasa little slack on his part of repaying the money. Whether he's showing good faith to repay californiagrown back now because he truly is sorry that he forgot or just he got called out, we'll never know. But I'd like to think that NS is a trusting place and I can continue to trust people on this site for years to come.
you need to stop watching so many rap videos man. youre living in a dream world.
usually the amount of retarded kids on ns is what makes it so great, but this is ridiculous. a bunch of sycophants defending an internet persona whose bullshit theyve swallowed, to a kid who was nice enough to lend him 65 bucks. all that matters is that he lent you 65 bucks and YOU OWED HIM 65 BUCKS. end of story. nothing else is relevant. anyone who is saying 65 bucks isnt worth making a thread about... well all i can say is im jealous, i wish mommy and daddy funded me to the point where id regard 65 dollars as pocketchange.
he "needed" the money...food? nah. rent? nope. a fucking MACBOOK. call ma, have her give you her credit card #, and pay with that.
but at least you were honest about the fact that all these kids were suckin your ass when they had no reason to. like "motumbo", do you know that kid? im pretty sure he wants your penis in AND around his mouth
Hey buddy - fuck off. First of all I had no idea this wasn't the first time he fucked around when it came to people's money. Now that I know that, I don't really support him any more. That being said, I never came out and said it was OK to steal the kid's money, I just said that I didn't think he was desperate/stupid enough to steal 65 fucking dollars and that even though it'd prolly take awhile, the money would come eventually. I know that if I was going to sacrifice my NS account I'd shoot for more than 65 bones. I was high as fuck when I made my first post in this thread, my bad, but get off my ass.
you guys are all saying oh he gave you an ipod, well guess what the other part of the deal was he got his fucking $65 back. let's see here i worked for 2 hours today cutting god damn grass to help out my cousin and made $20. so that's about 7 hours of work. why does everyone stick up for adrian, he has no fucking morals. he rips a kid off by giving him a dock with no cord, okay you can buy a cord for $5 or whatever, but it's the principle that you didn't tell him, don't care, and think that shit's okay. plus people have to wait months to get their shit from him. jesus i have no clue how adrian is even legit, you need to wake up dude the real world is gonna fucking rape your ass bud...
1. he paid at least $40 back.
2. 7 hours of work for 20 bucks? YOU are getting ripped off.
3. He told the kid the problem with the dock before he sent it.
4. Ipods are worth a lot of money, it was his gift so that the kid could wait to get his money back. Doesn't that make sense? An asshole would borrow $65 and then never pay it back.
correct me if I am wrong but I believe he said that he made $20 in 2 hours meaning that he would have to work 7 hours to make $65
That having been said, it doesn't matter if he got $40, that was not the agreement, the agreement was for the entire $65, so I think that he is entitled to that
I don't see what friends has to do with this and I also was unaware that you knew me, but I don't have a job because I'm taking a lot of classes so $20 is a lot to me
And it doesn't even matter how much it is, if you make an agreement, you should follow it, even if its for $5
And since you have so many friends you should have no problem paypaling me $20 tonight cause its not a huge amount
Adrian was in a pickle - he needed money. So the thread creator lent him $65, and Adrian sent him a non-functioning iPod as collateral (or to keep, not sure). So far, he has repaid $40 of the $65, but the thread creator is unhappy. Some people argue that $40 and an iPod is enough, while others feel that Adrian should pay the full amount, and that it is the principle of his actions not the money.
typically those same friends pay the money back completely
look, im not trying to argue with you im just saying that I think if they made an agreement it should be followed thru on, I'm saying adrian is a dirty theif, i just think that if thats what they agreed upon then he should just give him the rest of the money
i could hardly call two people on newschoolers who have never met "friends" and even if they were, part of borrowing is paying back. otherwise it would be giving
