Making An Honest Living
This morning a kid came in to sell us an ipod touch – of course, we got suspicious but you see before he came down, he called to ask how much he can get. And in the background sounded like an adult too – talking with him about the ipod – so we figured – that must be his parents. In this town, you know how some parents can be – the “i don’t care” attitude. Whether it is to upkeep their insurance or looking for an auto insurance quotes when they are planning to get a new car or used one – they just jump into it without really thinking and then they have to rush out to sell something – else lose the car.
Anyhow, like usual.. i chatted up the kid and asked him why he was selling it – if his parents knows about it .. and if it was really his .. blah, blah – blah. Cutting the long story short – as soon as he took our money – another fella came in and claimed that it was stolen from his house – the ipod. Yes – less than 30 secs! and when he came in .. he asked the boss – “Did you just buy some stolen stuff?” *roll eyes* . .what kinda question was that..??
Had we known it was stolen.. we wouldn’t touched it within a 10 mile radius. Anyhow, the fella claimed it was his – so we told him to get the serial # .. and apparently “his mother” called – blah, blah, blah. But guess what..?? till the time we closed our store – he didn’t come back..? Trying to scam us eh..?? very, very sneaky – anyhow.. we’ve had this same thing happened before a year ago – and guess what..?? we didn’t lose out .. just our time.. but this time.. that fella.. well, lets just say.. he was trying to scam the already been scammed before. Freak that! i didn’t lose no blinks about it .. like the last time.
