  • Thurrock Shopping Centre Argos has the houses
  • We have become a country of Lazy people.
    These hamsters prove it.
    I have checked all my local and not so local stores about 100 times since september (with no joy whatsoever). Spent about 1000 hours online trying to get my Daughters xmas hammies. Sat up on the PC all night..all the usual the good people here are doing too.

    Then I read all the posts saying "tell me where i can get x or y or z in Hampshire" with no please or thank you.

    or

    Can someone get me a slide plz....pm me I live in Kent.

    The sad thing is I bet the good folk do help these lazy people out.

    Like you say God loves a tryer but a lot can't be bothered...not even for their own kids.

    I have only ever been scammed once on ebay - i bought a dvd for about £8 seller had fab feedback etc etc.

    7 days later it still hadnt turned up so i checked his feedback to see if others had recieved theirs.

    To my horror i saw almost 200 pages of negative feedback.

    This 1 guy had listed over 2,000 DVD's over 10 days most of which sold, and he ad done a runner with all the money. He'd sold loads of DVD's before so i thought nothing about it when ordering.

    He just decided to do a massive scam and sod off.

    SOmeone rang his contact number and his mum answered, when asked where her son was she said, oh he's moved abroad and is having a whale of a time with your money. hHa Ha Ha.

    I felt physically sick as if i had actually been mugged in real life.


    ( i really am going to bed now night night people)

    The bidders should win the auction, get code, collect item and then say it wasn't there so get a refund through paypal. Can't see how the sellers can confirm that codes are genuine. :mad:

    True but then you have such a hassle with the Paypal dispute team for about 2 months trying to get back £17.

    If i was minted I would do it tho

  • Yeah I saw 2 years ago a seller that listed 200 Nintendo DS BIN £70.
    He even had a picture of all the boxes stacked together.

    I was so tempted that i used my dads ebay with only 1 FB and waited a while til i paid. I watched for 7 days as the Negs came pouring in.

    I always wonder what happened. Do the Police get involved? Surely they must for £1000's of pounds. So glad i didnt pay as i was very suspicious

    If it looks like a Rat, and smells like a rat, then by golly it is a Rat!
