Deal Thread URL: [For Sale] - Microsoft Surface Book i5-6300U 4GB DDR4 128GB SSD 13.5" | Combo (multi-item) sales & full systems
Seller: @The Coder
Buyer: @johnny_h
Description of Bad Deal:
On December 27th I contacted @The Coder to be next in line to buy his surface book in case the deal with the other buyer falls through.
December 29th he replies that the surface book is available as the courier couldn't collect in time for the buyer, and the buyer needed it urgently so canceled it. I was next in line and gave me his whatsapp to communicate there.
This should've been my first red flag.
On WhatsApp he sent me pics of the device, and it didn't look like a surface book to me(I owned one before). I asked him about it, and after insisting that it's 100% the surface book. I sent links to the surface book and what it should look like, he sent voice notes that he's certain it's a surface book, then he ran some commands and saw it's a surface pro 4.
This should've been my second red flag.
It being a surface pro 4 wasn't a problem for me though because I wanted it as a tablet anyway.
I paid him on the 30th December and he said he'll ship it off.
I messaged on the 3rd January for an update and on the 4th he said that it'll be shipped on later that day.
I got busy and didn't follow up until the this past Friday in the morning. He replied saying that it was shipped and he'll provide the tracking number later, but didn't reply after.
I followed up yesterday for the tracking number but still didn't get any reply.
I tired again this morning, but got no reply.
