    Default Buyer Beware: I've been scammed by 403vi3t

    This is just a notice of warning to fellow beyonders.
    I'm still in the process of working it out with said user but until then I'd say buyer beware.

    The situation:
    I bought a White PS3 controller from 403vi3t after seeing it on this the following thread...
    http://forums.beyond.ca/st/289122/fs...ck-controller/

    He was nice enough to deliver it to me and I gave him the $40 he was asking.
    After coming home from work I tried out the controller and the general feel of the controller was off. After trying it out it turns out that all the buttons were pretty sticky, and if you press the the R3 toggle to the top left it will get stuck and needs to be forced unstuck.
    Also the casing of the remote wasn't seamless which brings me to believe that it's an ebay style fake.

    I called him back a few times and after a few no answer called he replied to my PM saying, "This isn't futureshop, There's nothing I can do"
    It's not to big a deal to me cause it's only $40 bucks but I just don't think fake or defective items should be sold to fellow boardies without properly stating the items condition.
    Like I said before I'm still trying to work it out with the user, but I'd say if he puts anything else for sale I'd beware, or at least carefully inspect the item before purchasing it.
    This is partly my fault for not fully inspecting the controller before paying for it but I was in a hurry to get to work.

    might as well give him a negative rating if he doesn't give you a rating and then LINK this thread in his comment so other would find out

    Why people still fuck with members of this board is beyond me. Sean Banerjee, anyone?

    Consider that a warning if you DID indeed allegedly scam someone, 403viet

    403viet is another Beyonder. 403vi3t is the scammer.

    It's 403vi3t, not 403viet... two different accounts.

    AHH my bad. LOL.

    Seriously though, if the OP has evidence that he's been scammed, 403vi3t should return the money. It's the best thing to do.

    If not, PM me details plz

    Well I haven't officially been scammed yet.
    I just put that on the thread so everyone would be well notified.
    This is still it's its early stages so hopefully he'll still do the right thing. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, if he truly does believe that the controller is authentic and working then he should have no problem taking it back as an authentic ceramic white PS3 controller would easily sell on ebay for $40

    Here's to hoping
    I've always been really easy going with beyond transactions cause I feel we're a pretty tight knit community, and I really hate that I can't just buy something from our marketplace without thoroughly inspecting the item top to bottom, and having it tested.

    EDIT:
    I'm in fernie on a snowboarding trip right now, but as soon as I get home on friday I'll post pics of the controller's gaps and stuck toggle.

    Remind me to never sell anything on these forums.

    Inspect it when you buy it! If you're not happy then move along. Not complicated.

    How long after buying it did you try to contact the buyer?

    Or give it away for free, but even that you have people either not showing up like they're suppose to or they want YOU to drive all the way cross town to drop off your free shit.
