So despite the warning signs I went ahead and tried to buy this guys console yesterday. He had proof and fair amount of posts so I felt comfortable buying from him, but this morning I noticed he blocked communication with me.

Think I have learned my lesson finally with this. Note to all, never buy from pushy buyers who send messages one after another... That is all.

UPDATE: So a couple days after I posted this thread he messaged me back saying something about "sorry my friend was on my account idk what he was doing.." blah blah bullsh!t. Monday morning he gave me a tracking number, showed receipt and everything, correct package weight, etc. Ok, back to thinking he's possibly legit, didn't think he would load up a box full of bricks sort of thing. Well my "corona" came in the mail today:

So needless to say my initial instinct was correct since this scraped Xenon console, (which I don't even have to bother plugging in to find out it's RRODed), is worth about as much as a box of bricks. Though the DVD drive he included was a DG-16D2S which seemed to be in good condition so I might be able to sell it and get some of my loss back... Can't sell anything else though. Very curious how someone failed as hard as they did with this console, unless of course it was on purpose.. Never know. Anyways, I was able to get one of his other listings closed but now hopefully the mods have enough evidence to ban him. He's also blocked me on Skype now but has since unblocked me on TTG. I did screen cap when he did block me though for proof.

If anyone wants this board though for parts, you pay for shipping I'll give it to you for free

EDIT 2: My cat says thanks for the box though. He's the only one happy though unfortunately.

You might want to send all the proof you can to an admin

First thing I did. Just in case someone tried to buy off him while they are taking care of things I wanted to post this up.

Eh, messaged a few mods/admins now and none seem to keen on dropping the axe it seems... Well, I'll just try to monitor the marketplace section myself then and make sure he doesn't try to sell anything again. And even though he didn't leave a return address on the package he did leave a name and zipcode, and I think I was able to figure out his address on my own by looking up his last name on whitepages and cross referencing who lived closest to the Post Office it was dropped off at. Since he's only an hour away I might go pay him a visit once I can free up my schedule a little.

When I said about his handwriting I was talking about his proof pictures and how his name is on the paper but yeah I don't think you should go his house cause that's like pedophile level 100 cause I bet he is one of them squeekers. good idea on whitepages though search the name and and city in facebook and find someone who has there location as the same same and then check relatives to see if his mom is on there then go back to whitepages and see if shes on the related people part. probably should have Pmed this but what ever.

Yeah, we'll see I guess. Depends on if I'm really up to it or not. Already tried facebook for a little bit, maybe try again tomorrow. But yeah, I'll give him he has good handwriting. Same handwriting on the package which is proof enough that there was never a "friend".
