tsj - what a stupid thing to say! Paid £200, sell for about £50ish IF someone will buy it. I don't think you can sell blocked phones on ebay now - they pull the listing. Limits your options. Mike's seller has done himself no good whatsoever on this site. You would think he had been around long enough to know the right way to deal with this. A refund - nothing less. If this transaction had happened on ebay by Paypal, he would have had his money back by now.
Do the right thing, Topscooby, and refund the man.

Did he say which network it was originally got from if it was a contract phone?
maybe phoning them may be a idea and telling them whats happened literally

Hi all
TopScooby last posted 5 days ago in this thread after which 4 days ago i posted what i thought might be able to draw this matter to an amicable close. With many plus points being gained by TopScooby obviously i was wrong to assume that TopScooby was a man of honor and that his status as a trusted trader here meant something.
To be completely honest i am appalled at his actions or to be more precise lack of them. I don't know about anyone else but i wouldn't buy or sell with him now if he was the only person left on here trading. His actions are unjustifiable and appear to be totally lacking in morals. All i can say is his is dam lucky i wasn't the lucky winner or as it turns out unlucky winner of this auction as i did try and buy this phone as have wanted one for quite some time. I most certainly wouldn't let it rest as don't take kindly to being ripped off whether his fault or not if i had bought it from him i would hold him to account and as he would of taken my money would expect him to pay me back and this he would do trust me. This would also most probably incur further cots for him above the cost of the phone but i would return the phone and get my money back all of it as after all he would of been the one to of taken my money. I suppose now he has crawled back under his rock where he obviously belongs.
I should point out i have never met or dealt with Mike or TopScooby so hold no personal relationships or friendships with either. I just believe in people doing the right thing and taking responsibility for their actions and am a man of my word and honorable obviously something he isn't. A very sorry state of affairs and really not what i expected from a so called respected member of this forum. I am sure Mike will survive but do think this is a very unfair end to the whole situation. But as a great believer in Karma TopScooby will eventually get what he deserves of that i am sure.

why can't he just sell it abroad? He'll recoup a lot more than just "spares and repairs " money out. It's not a refund, but it could work out to be just as good, although perhaps a little bit more work on your part.

They work in most countries and to be honest that is what I will probably end up doing .. but then at the end of the day that is not the point.
Topscooby makes such a big thing of the fact he will not refund me as he will then be involved in a fraud (which he is already by my reckoning) but the only way I can recoup some of my money is by selling the phone abroad .. which I have to do because of him .. this is just as bad in my book.
This post is now not so much about the blocked phone because I can see from Topscoobys silence that he is not going to do the right thing by contributing to my loss but more to do now with his integrity and the fact that a trusted seller on here can just walk away from a situation that he is involved in with no consequences to himself.
