Fdge, am I pissed off @ craigslist

Ok so I saw this add on craigslist about a guy selling his 80 gig ps3 for $300, it was suposed to be one week old and the guy was selling  it cause he needed money to buy new tires for his car, he even had the recipt to prove it. Not only that, he was also going to give me an advent children blu-ray and the RE5 game. I saw the add yesterday, and contacted him right afther I saw it. We exchanged around 12 emails or so, working out all the details, like a meeting place for the sale, everything that I was getting for the $300, the time and so on. We were both verry specific on all the details. I even gave the guy my contact number but the guy didint feel confortable giving his, so he didint. I felt like I didint actually needed it cause we already knew when and where we were suposed to meet.
I get there and I ended up waiting for over an hour. The guy selling the ps3 never showed up. Basicly wasted my whole fathers day morning on this deal. that never came to be. I only had 1 prior experience on craigslist in the past and It was ok. I ended up selling my psp as planned.
Its horrible. I really wanted to get a ps3 this summer. Craigslist being the only option the seemed to be ok, as far as cheap new or almost new consoles go, also I prefer to meet with the seller face to face when I do bussiness.
Well, thats my experience. If you ever do some craigslist bussiness. hope you have a better one.

Don't give up yet.  Ask the guy what happened, where was he.  You could still get it.

that sucks. Did the guy ever give you a reason why he wasnt there. Maybe he was going to sell you a ps3 case full of bricks or something and chickened out. I think craigslist is like ebay where most of time its good, but sometimes people will try to screw you and theres not too much you can do about it, other than try to only use reputable sellers. I wouldnt try to buy massages off of craigslist, though.

Hrmm...

Dood didn't give you a contact number at all...he didn't show up...and you're out some hopes...

Yep, sounds like CraigsList.  Sorry to hear about it, man.  Usually, when a deal is found like that online, it's too good to be true.

HOWEVER, there is a thread here that has a coupon code for a PS3 through Dell.com that makes the 80GB come to a total of $339.  Hopefully that'll help.  = D

maybe he didnt wanna sell it anymore lol
that sucks man hopefully you get one soon

That sucks man. How much did you sell your PSP for? PS3s are pretty cheap nowadays, so you should have enough money in no time (assuming you have a job of some sort). The first thing you should do however is contact him to see what went wrong.
