What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

I know this shouldn't piss me off, but damnit, the internet is important, lol. Anyways, some weeaboo, that happens to be in Europe so he has no clue about the U.S., is trying to claim that the U.S. video game crash never happened because Japanese companies were doing well. And he's like this Japanese gaming freak, so everyone sides with him because of his complete knowledge of Japan. Yet the U.S. video game crash is common knowledge to any classic gamers. It's frustrating.

The Great Depression never happened in the USA because the economy was fine in Japan?

ticked sold my personal virtual boy on ebay at the start of december guy emails me saying he finally tried it and said it doesn't work when it was fine when i packed in 2 rolls of bubble wrap cause i played one last time the auction was no returns so it is covered by paypal protection now the guy just emailed me saying i ruined his kids christmas what should i do

UPDATE
time line
bought it dec 6th
payed more to ship faster arrived dec 8th
wanted it for christmas doesn't test it till the 29th
emails me dec 29th saying right lcd is fuzzy
i say fine send it back
he starts dispute jan 4th
ebay sides with him jan 5th they want dc on it
jan 12th guy says it is coming usps
i check dc number it says it is still in wa jan 20 which is day 44
a stranger shows up at my house with a ups package with my name and there address on it it is the box i shipped in dec cause my address is on the other side
that is how the guy found me i open it to find a trashed vb it does not power on at all there is rust on the stand and system screws there is a weird smell of burning plastic and cat pee i don't have a cat i only sold it cause i needed money to go to the dr's is there anything i can do since this guy ruined the system

Man that sucks. I would have been pretty suspicious as soon as the buyer said you "ruined his kid's Christmas." Who the hell buys their kid a Virtual Boy for Christmas in 2011 (or any year for that matter)?!

lol. Does he know about all the home consoles that existed before the NES?

Frown: Went to meet a guy to make a craigslist purchase today. Dude wasn't there. Wasted time + gas money.

It was a Game Gear. I already own one, but the sound is beginning to fail.

Weird thing is, I wasn't meeting the guy in some obscure place. He asked me to meet him at his business, which is attached to his apartment. Knocked on all doors, hung around for awhile... nothing. Hopped back in the car and went home.

Strange, have you tried to get back in touch with him?



My turn:
I've decided, fuck it, I'm just not going to attach anything to my paypal account, hope I can sell some crap and use my balance to buy stuff from folks on Racketboy (since I won't be able to use it for ebay anyway).

In other news, I'm thinking about selling what's left of my Super Nintendo collection. Hopefully this won't be considered obnoxious advertising, but if anyone thinks they might be interested, they should PM me.

That sounds like the capacitors are starting to fail. Fairly easy fix if you have a good technological know how.
