Ah.....
Im venting here..
there was this book I wanted to buy... found it on community buy-sale website...
the girl was selling the book for 2o$, haggled it to 15$
mind you, on amazon the book was going for 15.87
but I would have waited 1-3 weeks
the girl said it was used only once... I ask if there is any damage
she says no
I go pick it up this morning
Her mom answers, I ask her if she can put the book in a plastic bag since its snowing
she says sure, then she hands it to me, and says
its brand new
(i should have looked at it-
I am driving to work, i look at it , and there is a crease on the front cover, its not that bad, its not bent 9o degrees, but there is a crease going 4\5 of the book
I call the girl, tell her about it, she says
ok. call me later ill take it back (when im done work-
she later emails me.. says
you know, you got a good deal, I wont take it back, sell it to someone else...
man...
ugh
I know its not the end of the world, and its not even the money, its the principle...
its a book from a collection of other books, and i like to take care of my books, i know im not alone that takes care of his books and **** for 1$ more I could have gotten a brand new book...
I just feel I was wronged more than once with this...
I am sort of repulsed by the book now
and worst is, that I didnt let it go yet, I am planning on going to see her at her house, and talk to her parents, explain to them in a polite way
I think what gets me is that the girl doesnt seem to feel any remorse, if she does know it wasnt very right (imo i think it wasnt
, then she doesnt care..
I spoke to a friend about it, was comforting, said that, it belongs to her (the way she acted(
and that she really believes (from experience(, the universe brings balance, and that if she screwed me, the world will screw her
oh well!!!!
if you have any comforting words or rip off\wronged stories to share, please do
