BigJohnny Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 long story short, I had a Rogers PVR that was left behind by a tech when they disconnected my stuff. I've had it in my posession for over a year, and it has been paid for by the tech who left it behind. There were many attempts at contacting that tech, but in the end, he never ended up coming over to get the PVR. A couple of weeks ago I had sold it on kijiji. The ad clearly said "rogers explorer 8300 PVR" word for word. the story was explained, and the unit is able to be added to someones account it's been looked into, and is legit. well I don't have a HD tv, but was told by rogers that it was a HD box, and was paying HD box prices for it. The guy who bought it simply said he wanted it, asked no questions, and the transaction was made. I shipped it out to him, and he received it saying it's not the HD box. They have a SD and HD version of the box, and this was the SD unit. Now he has managed to look me up, and call me (which I didn't answer) and has now sent me a money request through paypal for his money back. I didn't rip the guy off, the unit wasn't mis-advertised, and I was unaware of their being two different versions. So what should I do? I don't have the money to give it back, I paid my bills. I don't think I should give him his money back since i don't feel I did anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnny Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Apparently he is saying i didn't own it. But the serial number was previously checked out and was determined the unit was free and clear to be added to an account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will77530 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 in my opinion it would just be easier to give him the money back just explain to him that you dont have the money now but you will refund him it will keep your name clean and probably end up being a lot easier just my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJohnny Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I have to say, I was not mis-leading with the ad, I mentioned that it had been left behind by a tech, but rogers is now telling him that i had no right to sell it, even though that story was previously something different. This is why I hate rogers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnny Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 tell him to pound sand. he shouldnt be such an impulse buyer. try asking questions first well this is what I'm thinking, but he is threatening to call the cops if I don't do this by friday, and he wants to return the unit to rogers. I told him if he wants his money back he is going to have to send it back to me to return it to rogers. I'm sure as hell not letting someone else do it. I also told him he is going to have to accept payments, cause I don't have the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnny Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well I guess the deal is, even though he has paid me for it, if he uses it he will have to pay rental fees for having the box. I didn't know this. I've told him I'd give him his money back but it's gonna have to be payments, and he's expecting me to give it all to him by the 16th... hell I won't have that kind of money by the end of the month. Either way, I still don't think I should have to give him his money back, he just jumped right on this, asked no questions, didn't bother trying to get me down in price, nothing. I'm more worried about the cops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more worried about the cops. I'd tell him to kick rocks, the cops won't be able to do anything seeing as it was a legit sale, both parties got the goods, he got the pvr and you got his payment. Let him bitch and moan over it, maybe next time he won't be so quick to buy without research first.

BigJohnny Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm an ass, I should have told him to go fuck himself, but I told him the best I can do is $75/month for the next 3 months..... and it certainly isn't going to be of any high priority. the more I think about it, the more I want to wash my hands of it, but if the cops did get involved, isn't it stolen goods? Rogers left it behind, but it was paid for by the tech who never picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipod Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 well if you have proof that the unit was clear and wasnt stolen then your good.. it his fault for not checking out the box or do any research before buying it..
