Hi,
This post is in response to the following for sale thread in the marketplace:
http://forums.beyond.ca/st/257812/fs-80gig-ps3-300/
I called Apexi-R regarding the ad, he informed me that his name is Jeremy and that he lives in Okotoks, so we agreed to meet at Sunridge Mall (half way point) for me to purchase the unit. The next day I received a phone call from him and we met up on Friday at 4:45pm. Straight forward exchange, everything seemed in good condition, but he was missing the charger cable for the controller. We agreed to meet up at noon on Saturday so I could get the cable. I didn't think much of this at the time, as he seemed like a legitimate seller.Originally posted by Apexi-R
i have a new 80gig ps3 the box was lost when i moved comes with 1 controller and all wires including controller charger and hdmi cord no games incl asking 300 very firm on price pm me your number and i will get back to you asap thanks
I went home and quickly tested the system to ensure that everything was in working order. The system functioned correctly with no issues. To my surprise the system information tab showed that the PS3 was a 40GB model and not the 80GB model that was advertised in the post. I have made multiple calls to Jeremy (Apexi-R) and sent multiple PM's, he has not responded to either. I was even able to track down his parents number from one of his other for sale posts and tried calling them and explaining the situation. They have told me that he hasn't been home in the past 4 days, that they don't know where he is or how to contact him.
I just want to return his PS3 and get my money back, but I'm out of ideas on how to track him down. I would appreciate any suggestions and hope that posting this will lead to a solution.
Thanks
