Often times I'm not one to really care

If something is brand new as long as it still functions

As well as, or close to something that is new

One man's trash is another man's

Used, Trash.

I know everyone worries about being scammed

Or attacked but honestly most of my experiences with buying used things from strangers ( :

Have gone pretty smoothly.

Except This One.

And another one that I'll save for another time

I mean, If someone's trying to sell you a desk but they don't have any pictures of it

Then

I don't know? Don't risk it!

When I moved out from my parent's house, I left a Playstation 3 behind

Because it technically belonged to my sister.

But I owned a lot of the games

Which I brought with me

And by the time I moved out the only PS3's for sale

Were used ones

So I figured I check Kijiji

Which is an online classified ad service

Basically the Canadian version of Craig's List

Even though we have, also have Craig's List here

But Kijiji is better.

I actually bought my wii the same way a few years earlier

And the dude happened to be a fan

So I searched for playstation 3 and checked out what was available

I came across one for $230 which came with 2 controllers and like over 20 games

Most of which where like Fifa 2011 to 2069... I don't know

I don't really care much for them and so I thought I try haggling

Hi is this still available and if so could we negotiate on the price?

I'll think about it

How does 200 sound?

215

Mh ok. I'll wait a bit

And then I tried the third party tactic

Hm well I'm looking at another seller and they're giving theirs for 200

Which was actually true, but they didn't have an extra controller and not over 20 games

That's why I'm trying to haggle for this one

200 is good

Ho ho ho ho ho - gottem!

Awesome!

Actually I changed my mind $225

What the hell, how did you go from $230 to $215 to my negotiated price of $200 and then.. back higher to $225?

This person did not know how to haggle

Unless..

He saw through my bluff

*gasp*

But either way that counter offer didn't make sense

No deal.

Alright nevermind

OK

So I continued looking at other ads and offers and then about an hour later

He messages me again

You sure $215 isn't good?

Wha..

OK at this point I'm thinking he might be getting a little desperate, so I continued to play hard-to-get

No

OK I'll do $200 if you pick it up today

What is going on.. okay... I thought I was definitely dealing with a kid.

But hey, we finally agreed on a price.

Alright where can I meet you?

248 Shimmer Street

When can you come?

eeh Is 9 ok?

A bit earlier maybe 8?

OK see you then.

OK

Do you want to see it working?

Yeah sure

So I head there later that night and 248 Shimmer street actually has two apartment buildings

A and B

I texted him and asked which one it is

Uh... it should be A

should be?

SHOULD BE?

I don't want to know what your building should be as if it's dependant on unknown factors

I need to know your definitive location, so I can safely make this transaction

I was getting a bit nervous

A part of me thought I was getting get mugged, but then thought this

probably is just a kid who is just not responsible enough to know his own address

I go inside building A

I texted him saying I'm at the ground floor

and he replies that he's on his way down

5 minutes past.. nothing

After 10 minutes I get a text

I don't see you?

This dumbass.. I don't see him either meaning he is probably in building B

So I head on over and go inside

I.. I still don't see him

And I'm expecting that kidney extracting shank in my body any second now

I'm in building B I don't see you either...

no I'm in A

W-What?

Was I blind? Was he blind?

Where are my kidneys.. OK still there.

I head back to building A

OK I'm here

I don't get a reply but after 5 minutes of waiting, he finally appears

It's a middle aged man

I'm gonna die.

Are you Cain with the PS3?

Yes yes. We will head upstairs to test it.

I reluctantly followed. We get to his apartment and he opens the door

Inside is a kid setting up the PS3

Cain, hurry up

Wha.. huh? I thought you were Cain? But you're also Ca..

My-My kidneys

Kid-Cain finally set up the PS3, tries to turn it on.. nothing happens

He tries again.. still nothing

Big Cain, which i assume to be his dad started getting a little irritated

I thought you said it worked, what's going on?

Dude that's my line

The tension was THIC with only one c because that's all that could fit

With the amount of tension in the room

Kid-Cain shuffles around behind the TV

Tries one more time

And it finally works

Both he and I let out a relieved sigh

Honestly at this point, I didn't even care if it worked

I just wanted to get out alive

In ONE piece

I said, cool

Kid Cain packs up the ps3

Puts it in a bag

And hands it over to me

I hand him the 200 dollars that we agreed upon, and hope papa Cain was also aware of and approved

His dad takes it from him, counts it, then nods

Okay, thank you

Yeah you're we-

Uh hee um pth uhh tsk-

Thanks!

And I leave

ALIVE

*Breathing rapidly and casually strolling backwards while getting the heck out of that place*

Relieved kermit's face

Worth it :)
