man, I’m a little bent about this… long story short, I sold a computer to someone who I thought was a friend and got fucked on the deal. Worst part was, that I borrowed $$$ that I had set aside for rent/bills to make this happen for him (and he knew it… as he told me he had the cash in hand before I even started putting it together).
I was going to upgrade to a newer processor/mobo combo when I had the extra cash, and was telling him that the one day. He said “I want your old computer”… so that would offset the cost of me upgrading. I said “fine” and a few weeks went by with him bugging me almost every day about it, with my response being “I dont have the $$ laying around to do it yet”.
He told me “I have the money in hand for your old computer… just do what you need to do to upgrade, and bring your old one down”. Well I put it together and a few weeks later he tells me he has $$$ and to drop it off… when I got it down there, he only had 100.00 on him… and said he’d get me back the following week (mind you that someone wanted it and was going to give me 50.00 MORE than I was selling it to my friend for).
so here I am… still 150.00 in the hole and down a friend and just NOW getting caught up on bills from doing HIM a favor (I’ve been on a tight budget because of some unexpected expenses over the past few months)
yeah, so here is the email I sent today… Goes to show ya who your real friends are. They really are few and far between
Hey man, I tried getting ahold of you atleast half a dozen times and have yet to hear anything back from you. I then gave you 3 weeks to get back to me before I sent ya this email, and I still havent heard shit. I gave you that computer in good faith and against my better judgement. Hey, I guess situations like that make you realize who your real friends are… thanks for fuckin me over dave. You knew I needed that money and it’s pretty damn obvious that you dont really give a shit, as long as it didnt effect you.
The most fucked up part is that I could of sold that computer IN FULL for $300.00 to someone else a week before you even had “some” of the money (and you knew that), but I was trying to be a good friend and help YOU out! And it bothers me that YOU were the one leaving me messages saying “I have the cash in hand bro… did you put that computer togehter yet?” I even fronted my own $$$ to get you some parts so that you could use it right away… again, look what I got in return… a big old fuck you. I was even willing to pick the $$$ up from you, who else would of done that? I dont expect people to pick money up from me, when I owe it to them… but obviously I have better judgement when it comes to that stuff.
as far as I’m concerned, dont bother anymore… hope the 150 was worth it bud, as it cost you a friendship. Dont bother trying to contact me by phone, responding to this email or any other way for that matter. I’ve had it
