Naaaah,
A seller advertising an item as a faultless item, where as the seller knows it has a fault(the crack), is deception on its own, and it’s even enough reason to get black listed.
I’m pretty sure the whitey he bought it from pointed out the cracks in his listing.
Asking for refund after holding someone’s capital is the easy way, man should pay for damages for his deception.
The part of not sending the whole picture of the laptop is shady as it is.
This is just a case of dishonest and deceptive seller, and it’s not really fair.
But we haven’t heard from sellers side sha, make we dey see.

Telling seller to pay you profit in addition to giving you refund is wishful thinking and grand delusion.

If we were to go by your logic, is AquaSpunky not also a dishonest and deceptive seller for selling an item that has crack to the second seller? Though he says he didn't check it but that's a lame excuse from someone who wants to make profit from selling a used item.

Please let's try and be reasonable. The crack we are talking about in this case is a crack on the frame and not a crack on the screen. It isnt a major fault or damage. A small sticker on the frame will cover that crack.

Good morning

Boss
So anyone can clearly sell a faulty item and to you it’s madness to ask for compensation


Mind you he (seller) knew there was a crack and never informed buyer about that, this is a case of item not as described as it is and there’s a every reason for him to get a refund and a plus cash.

A crack isn’t a hidden or an internal issue for anyone to feign ignorance of.


AquaSpunky, I’ll beg you to take your refund and move ahead sir. It’s part of those thing in business just a lesson, next time always do the needful irrespective of whom you’re dealing with

AquaSpunky had a responsibility of checking the laptop first hand before selling the laptop to another reseller. Buy he didn't. Same fault Emmanu is accused of also applies to AquaSpunky.


Now the question is "at what time during this transaction did AquaSpunky complain about the crack?"

If he complained about the crack within a few days of buying the laptop, then Emmanu should give him the refund without delay.

But if the complain came late for example a week later or more, then AquaSpunky should compromise and wait two weeks for refund.

You dont buy a used item you intend to resell without inspecting it before reselling.

AquaSpunky:
Please read my first post. It has the answers to your questions.

He sold the laptop as "used" to you. First thing you should have done was do a proper check by yourself before selling the laptop to another person. If you had done this, you would have seen the crack.


I have gone through your post but couldn't find the timeline from when you received the laptop to when you complained about the crack. This will help anyone settling this issue to know who should be advised to compromise between both of you.

At the moment, it's either you compromise and wait for two weeks for your refund or Emmanu compromises and give you the refund immediately.

AquaSpunky:
It’s funny how you said despite him being at fault, he can’t pay me profit.

If he sold an item in perfect condition, i would have made profit.
He is responsible for everything & has to pay for trying to be cunning & deceptive.

Also, it would be best you wait till he replies, if you don’t want to be bias.

Being at fault for not telling you about the crack( if he was aware anyway) doesn't translate to paying you profit if the transaction eventually fails.

I think you should forget about making profit from this deal (because it is a failed transaction) and concentrate on getting your full refund.

AquaSpunky:
Please read the post again. I already returned the item.

Failed transaction from whose end?

He picked the item & took a clear picture. He wanted to sell the item & cropped the cracked frame.

The last picture was taken in naija, he sent the first three.

Sorry I didn't read the last two lines of your initial post.

This means both of you have made progress since laptop is with him now.

The last part of the issue is a bottleneck. It shouldn't be about who is at fault but about reaching out by either of you so one person agrees to the wish of the other.

But if this where to be solved by logic. Few questions needs to be asked and answered.

(1) on which condition was the laptop sold? Brand new sealed/ brand new open box/ used laptop with box


2) how long did it take from when you got the laptop to the time you complained about the crack?

AquaSpunky:
Good morning, everyone.

I bought a TLC deal (hp omen) from @emmanu19 on the 22nd of April; it was delivered to me on the 6th of May.
The laptop was properly sealed when it arrived, even though he confirmed it was a used laptop, so I didn’t bother opening it.

After a week, i sold it to a reseller who sold it to another vendor.
The reseller didn’t bother checking either, because we’ve been conducting smooth business transactions for months & never had any issue.

When the vendor delivered the laptop, the buyer opened the box & confirmed that it had a crack.
So, it was returned to me.

Upon receipt, i contacted @emmanu19 & asked for pictures.
Of all the pictures he sent, he mysteriously didn’t take pictures of the cracked part & said that he would refund or pay “small money” as a rebate.

I asked him to hold on because, the reseller said, he could find someone to fix the frame & see if he could sell it afterwards, which would be a win win for all.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t repair it, so i told @Emmanu19 & he said he would return the exact amount i paid (465k) & that if I didn’t return it before the end of May, he wouldn’t take the laptop back.

I felt attacked because, i was only trying to settle the issue amicably, then he said the worst I could do would be to report him here & he wouldn’t reply.

I was surprised that he changed the narrative. It is lucid he knew the laptop had a crack before he shipped it & deliberately cropped the cracked part out of the pictures he took.

Yesterday, the 30th, I returned the laptop to his handler, only for him to say that, i wouldn’t get my money until he sells the laptop or after two weeks.

Proof is attached for all to see & judge. I hope he tenders his so all can see who is at fault.

@Kreamie
@RakiticBarca
@Sheelay
@Anopheles
@Wildchild

This is pretty straightforward. Emmanu the first seller wants you to return his laptop and give you the exact money you paid him for it. He also wants you to return the laptop before a set date.

You on the other hand wants him to refund you the amount you sold it to another person before you can agree to send the laptop to him now.

I will advise you send the laptop to him and collect the money you paid him for the laptop. This is the easiest and simple route.

Despite Emmanu being at fault for not disclosing the crack on the laptop, he can not pay you profit in addition to the original money you paid him. Nobody will do that except they are mad.
He has accepted to take back the laptop and refund you which is a reasonable thing to do in this case.

Please get the laptop back to him if you know you ain't interested in buying the laptop (with the crack)from him before the deadline he gave you elapses. If you cant meet up with the deadline, let him know why . But it shouldn't be because you want profit from a failed transaction.
