This has been going on for a really long time...

Why would you ever even think of buying something out the back of some random white van in a parking lot...

[Petis]

^what I was thinking.

[prod0660]

sht like this happens all the time in my area, but never with chinese sht,,almost all the time stolen or "misplaced" items,, nevertheless legit stuff..once it all happens it all makes sense, but then and ther, it didnt,,, ( typing really S L O W before i break the computer)

[Kielan]

So knowing that stuff like that happens all the time, why would you buy anything from the back of the van.. Buying stolen stuff is a crime as well...

I struggled to read it, but it sounds like you got bumped. Unlucky man

[prod0660]

buying stolen stuff is a crime, sure . doesnt stop the fact that an ipad which goes for 600 bucks can cost you 100 bucks,to me thats a deal, DO i do it? no, but its hella common. idk why i did it, like most mistakes, ...dont know wtf happened to me,,,but this solidifies my idea of worrying about my 3-5 people and the rest can suck a D---.

You even inherit millions of dollars from your long lost Prince cousin in Africa too?

In all seriousness I guess you were unlucky, but how the hell did you not realize this is a scam? Some dude out of the back of a van claiming he has a few g's worth of stuff and only wants $500 for it is going to throw some red flags to me...

Good decision.

antisocial? no. uninteligent decision? yes.

watch out for emails and calls asking for bank info/social security number too FYI. triyng not to be a huge negative douche cause this was clearly a bad choice, i hope you learned a very valuable lesson.

live life with no regrets, just life lessons

You bought stuff out of a van in a parking lot. You deserve it. It's not even a matter of luck.

[Jedidiah]

I've had friends do the same. It's the notion of "impulse" buying. We all have done it...













Now buying stuff out of the back of a white van in a random parking lot on the other hand...
