Re: Cheated by the Digit guy named varun bali

There was no cheating because I packed everything including the panel. What would I get by keeping a thin metal plate even though I sold the motherboard ? Even if I had forgotten the panel, I would have sent it later on. Now the buyer is demanding a spare panel because he did something I dunno with it.

The buyer said that there is no computer shop nearby & neither could his friends arrange it for him so he asked me to arrange it for me. I replied that if he wants a new panel then I will have to buy it but he will have to pay the price (including shipping) of the new I/O panel which would be around Rs 400. Thats the only gesture of goodwill I could show. But the buyer wants it for FREE. I disagreed but now he is making threats if I dont send it & that he knows my address.

He doesnt knows the Bazaar forum rules: Buy / Sell / Trade at your own risk. It is important to understand that ThinkDigit forum is nothing more than a communication platform. We hold no responsibilty for any bad deal or fraud.

Varun, funskar is saying that you told him that you forgot to put the back panel in it. Did you say that?

Funskar, posting someone's personal details in public will not help you solve the matter. Please avoid that unless it's absolutely necessary. I've removed personal info. And mind your language. Do you want to solve the matter or just abuse on the forum?

Re: Cheated by the Digit guy named varun bali

I never admitted to Funskar that I forgot the panel. I told him on the phone that I remember 99% I have put everything before shipping. I asked him money later on so that I can buy a new one & ship it to him because he was distraught. I was helping him because he admitted that there is no shop nearby where he lives & no friend to help him out. He disagreed to deposit the money for the new one. When I stated that I wont ship the new one for FREE he started ranting which is clearly visible.

I still have those sms where he has threatened that he will find out my address, etc etc but I am wise enough not to behave like the buyer.

Panel costs 50 or 400?

V

A new I/O should be Rs 50 something. If I pack it in a box with some thermocol then it would atleast cost me Rs 340 or somewhere near for shipping to Bihar via Bluedart. I calculated this shipping price at Bluedart's website. So I asked him to pay me around Rs 400. Infact I later on asked him to pay Rs 300 atleast. I already paid Rs 800 insurance for the board + Rs 400 shipping via dtdc.

bro i just want to sort out the matter..

after recieving the mobo from dtdc..

bt he miss the panel while packing n now he is fighting..
didn;t replyng the call - msg ..
just tellin if u r ready to deposit the amount then nly sms me n i will ship the panel

Well, I suggest (as a member, not a moderator) you find a cheaper shipping option agreeable to buyer and quote a price. For a deal worth 12k if you guys split costs for Rs 150 or so, all should work out well.

I don't like the way funskar has posted your number and account details but it will be great if you find some agreeable cost.

Try and settle it. Hundred bucks or so are not worth staking anyone's reputation on.

Funskar see if you can agree on something. Just remove personal details first. Remove the image link. Give the seller a chance before letting anger take over.

The buyer himself wants me ship via Bluedart. I cant do anything about it. We are all busy individuals working in office & I have to look for my ease as well.

I am not gonna be helpful to someone & buy a NEW panel now after all this. I have made my mind. The buyer has to own up for his own mistake & get a new panel himself for doing damages at his end. Gudnight.

bro i have removed the image as said..

bt he didn;t agree .. so atlast after so much rude behaviors from him i hav to do all these

I think people should start opening box videos. It will help as a proof in future that what he/she have got inside.

When did you agree you liar ?? I was polite & reasonable to you & you were rude by using slang hindi & threatening words. I suggested you the solution even before this started but you have a mind of an ant. Your problem is you dont think before you do. I pointed this thing out too in the sms.

OSxSnowLeopard said:

Fully agreed but do you still think that it would prevent buyers from accusing the seller ? I dont think it would help unfortunately. The buyer can later on accuse that there was no board or gfx card or cpu, etc even though he/she must have removed it & then created the video. The point is digit is no courthouse. Both the parties can solve the matter amicably & privately but if any of the parties turn hostile then nothing can be done just like in this case. Only the buyer & seller know what item has been packed & what not.

whats a back panel? the thin metal plate that supports the i/o ports??

V

Exactly. That very same thin metal piece with holes which you put in the cabinet before installing the board. The buyer is under the wrong impression that it HOLDS the board :facepalm:

in place when infact everybody knows that the screws hold it. Any board works perfectly without a plate. Anyone can google this & then proceed with the installation of the board.

I thought it was something like a backplate or something

. Use the world I/O shield.

I doubt you get I/O shields that way, even service centres might not have them. Rather than giving 50-200 bucks, put it in an envelope with a thin bubblewrap and ship it. Its not as if its going to cost a bomb or anything- its cheaper than Rs. 200. Everybody goes home happy.

That is- assuming the I/O shield is not lost.

1. Why should I help him for some damage he has done at his end ?
2. Nevertheless, I was willing to help him out of charity & suggested him this same solution which he knows but not after all this ruckus. He disagreed, then insulted me, threatened me & finally agrees ?? !

Nope. I am done from my side.

i would say varun please buy a panel ~50rs and ship it through speedpost [they are reliable and cheap]
this should cost not more than 100rs

@funskar you can pay the amt. and dont worry you will get your panel
i dont think you need insured parsel for a thin metal piece

Srry mate. All he had to do was agree earlier to pay & be done with it instead of blowing it out of proportion. I tolerated his nonsense for more than 6 hours & maintained my patience & still kept advising him but I have lost my patience now. I am not gonna buy new items for anyone for free. I am no babysitter. If anyone else is interested to help him out then pls be my guest

Carry on with your false accusations & lies. You still havent got your head together to think wisely. You are still interested in insulting me. I am not bothering with it.

Carry on. I clearly remember it was packaged & something happened at your end. Keep on accusing me. I gave you the chance to fix the problem. You kicked it.

what i see is anger taking over to a member from a good families [at least do the needful for your self respect ]

varun @ i know what it feels but show your heart and buy the panel for him

fun @ what has happend is over if you can pay 11k then just pay 100~150rs more and accomplish a deal on a high note

Kartik buddy I understand your point but you are not understanding from what I went through listening to his nonsense. I do have a big heart & if you were in his place, I would have sent it. I am not negotiating with a person who blown this issue out of proportion. He has clearly aimed at my dignity & self respect while I still talked to him in a calm manner. I think you are unaware of what he wrote last night which was utterly disgusting.

Srry mate I am not feeling helpful towards such guy. He is on his own.

You insult me for hours, you threaten me, you kicked the solution I gave you earlier, you hurt my dignity & now you expect me to help you out & maintain my patience after all this ? No ways.

I am leaving you alone here so that you can continue to rant. No more replies from my side to your accusations.

i am totally unaware of what has happend before so i cant comment
if you can help me than just do it for me and help him one last time
forget what has happened and close the deal

this can go on and on with out any solution so i would advice just do it one last time and forget the guy

enough blaming now just pay him what he says and move on
there are other good thing in life rather than fighting and blaming

i hope both of you take this in a good spirit and deal one last time ..... please dont start blaming game again and show the world you dark side

Cheers

All I can suggest is put your egos aside and settle things.

Funskar, better if you apologise for rudeness. Clearly, you let anger take over. It doesn't hurt to say sorry for being rude, just keep things calm.

Varun, buyer is ready to pay 200 for the panel and shipping. Better to ship and lay this matter to rest. He may have been rude and insulted you, but no need to drag it out of proportion from your end. I understand how unreasonable people can get, but the best thing to do is to not be like them.

Peace. Hope you guys can find a solution.

dont believe the shopkeepers blindly, its not that much of a problem, you can use the motherboard without the i/o panel too, if need be.

1. stop using sms language here. type properly.
2. dont take this out on a public forum, use the PM's or let a mod/admin be the mediator. dont toss mud at each other in public.

@varun, When funskar is ready to pay 200rs then whats the problem, i know it feels bad to be insulted but in online deals you will have to have a great deal of patience to end a deal happily.
As you said the panel is available for 50rs buy it and courier via sppedpost or first flight, no need to use blue dart, the matter will be solved in less than 150rs.

1. I dont have a spare panel & I am in office. Infact I will have to search for it & I am least bit inclined to search for such a polite person who has flowered me so much. Its a natural human tendency to show sympathy to someone who is in trouble but one has to look at the other side of the coin as well.

2. If anyone else can help him out then be my guest. Good luck to the buyer.

Let it be know.. that moron just wanted money to feed him self by selling the mobo.. and i given him..

now my patience is out of controll..
I told him sorry after mods n members post.. i remove the picx aslo.

HAHA....I still remember when I said that 99% I am sure that I have put everything. I never told you I forgot. You continue to amaze & entertain me with your imaginative thoughts. All I said was if you cant arrange it on your end I would help you get a new one & then I told you I would ship a new one either on saturday or tomorrow.

Seriously dude start applying your brain to solve your problem instead of typing crap here.

Sort it out privately.

Until you both cool off, this thread remains locked.

@varunb, One thing you didn't post the pics of any of the accessories, and did not even mention the I/O shield in your original selling thread. You are supposed to post pics of EVERY accessory you sell. Secondly are you 99% sure or 100% sure that you shipped the I/O plate? If it's the former (as you told him on phone) then it's your responsibility to ship him that since you yourself aren't 100% sure. And yeah if he is willing to cough up for the I/O shield, then do send it to him in spite of the fact he has been abusive or lying as you claim, you made the deal with him after all.

@funskar, When you bought the motherboard why didn't you check out the listing of I/O shield in the original thread? You should have also insisted for pics of every accessory before coughing out for the deal.
Secondly you should mind your language and should never post personal details in public. That's an infraction worthy behaviour no matter what the case. You can PM those stuff to any of the forum staff, if needed. Your behaviour hasn't helped you one bit, in fact it had made the case worse for you.

Also the forum cannot do anything here really. It's only a communication medium. There's not enough evidence to take sides or action against any of the members, and nothing can be done. Keep your discussions through phone, e-mail, etc. The forum isn't eBay and is just a communication medium.

All that over an I/O Panel? Who needs that anyway? Just attach the mobo without it, what's the big deal?

If you're paranoid about dust, I/O panels are useless anyway... better way to do it is take one of those plastic covers that HDDs come in, stick that to the back of the cabinet, and only cut out the holes for the ports you use... Then use the Rs 200 you're willing to pay for ice cream to help you chill.

Also, I must say, varunb, either you have access to way too many I/O ports for your own good, or you've forgotten to send that bit across and are too pissed about his childish behaviour to accept that fact... Something tells me it's the latter, since you were so ready to "find a replacement" and send it across...

Thread opened again... but try not to get heated up, and either one of you should give in or come up with an amiable compromise. ico, please ban/delete the account of the first person to lose his cool on this thread henceforth.

Live and let live... reminds me of a rather old (and bigoted) quote:

Arguing on the internet is like taking part in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded!

(My apologies to the mentally challenged everywhere... I did not come up with that quote, I'm just repeating it for effect)

That 1% doubt out of 99 was created by his intense way of talking while I was driving but I cleared all my doubts when I reached home. Its natural to think that "Did I forget..no ways....I must check it out asap"

There are few computer shops nearby my office & I am sure that there are compatible panels. So indirectly you can say I have access to computer peripherals.

well in the morning before the thread was locked.. i told let this end up..
I will handle this matter personally know.. just in the process to fetch the addres.
And in the the end it was very bad experience of mine on digit as i get cheated by a cheater who told a bunch of lies in thread..

Off from the thread n soon will b off from Digit too :-o

Lastly - Mods can Ban or Delete the account !!

Digit is in no way responsible for Bazaar deals. Your problem has more to do with you being careless than anything else. You should have asked for pictures of all accessories, then you would have proof. You can be off if you wish. Blaming a website for a private dispute is not the wisest thing to do.

Closing thread.
