What a mother fucker..... a story of a stuck up californian

Sooo ill start at the beginning.
had a nice jetta, moved to california. went broke decided to sell it (really didnt want to, but had to)
so dude makes a best offer of 4500, i accept, and was happy to get it even though it was worth 7500, but i was broke, and almost out of a place to live.
he agrees to come out to my place 2 days later at 5pm... at 6pm i give him a call and ask where he is. He replies... oh didnt you get my e-mail? I dont want it anymore.... I Was on a real time crunch with rent, and not having money for food or anything..... so i freeked... begged him to live up to his deal, and he beat me down on the price to 3800, real shitty way to negotiate imo. He shows up the next day, and tries to beat me down another 200 bucks.....
so anyways, i sell him the car.
fast forward a year and a half. I'm back out west, and I Call the dude (i still have his number) and say, hey, i want the car back, do you want to sell it? he says he blew the engine, so he would be happy to. We agree on a price of 1900, if he tows it out to me, he sends me a request for the cash and we agree ill pay it to him when he gets here in 2 days....
so, having a car out here allready, i go ahead and book my friend a plane ticket to come out here so he can drive the other one back, i had the repair and the parts for it all lined up and waiting.... that was last night.
this morning, i get a call from dude, wakes me up at like 7am actually.... saying hey... i sold it to someone else, for a hundred dollars more, a hundred dollars.... thats what it was worth to fuck me over.
im like, WTF dude we had a deal! I would have given you whatever you fucking wanted for that car, i told you like 10 times it was a hell of a lot more than a car to me, and i never wished i sold it, and i only did it because i was about to be homeless! also, i just spent 330 on a non refundable plane ticket!
so, he's like oh, i didnt know.... Well, ill pay for the ticket. So, i send him a request for the money for the plane ticket....... and now he is blowing me off.....
This What a piece of shit. I really cant understand people like this, that completely are willing to fuck someone, over a hundred bucks... i mean, he has a wife and 2 kids! WTF

yeah, and it seems the smaller amount of money, the more petty and dickish people can be.
dude wont even take my calls.... I might call from a different number tomorrow. I think that it might just be his wife holding him by the balls though.
and another thing, I not only have to pay for the plane ticket for my friend, but all of his costs while he is out here.... shit aint cheap.

I'm fortunate (or unfortunate depending on how you look at it) to not have ever dealt with someone over that amount of money, but stories like this will definitely help me in any future purchases I'll make with vehicles. I'm getting a motorcycle any day now and I'm glad I have the right company to come with and check things out before handing over the cash.

Im sorry to say it but "Welcome to America 2011". Ive had this kind of shit happen with people I know, but never really dealt with money in our relationship. As soon as I get a sniff of this kind of crap from someone I end the money side of our "friendship".

That sucks. Kind of almost have to expect that kind of thing from people unless you otherwise know them. The first dealing with him should have told you that he is flaky.

Two rules of craigslist.
1. Don't act desperate. 2. Don't trust other people.

Lol nah, just don't go through what OP with spending a ton of money on other things for the deal to work. If I list something on Craigslist no matter what I will get 5-10 emails or texts saying they want whatever I have and then I'll never hear from them again.

this wasnt a cl deal,
i sold the dude the car a year and a half ago, called him out of the blue and asked to buy it back...
we made a deal, agreed on a price then after that he listed it on CL to get more for it behind my back... and sold it out from under me. fuck, i would have paid a lot more than he got for it too...
im just pissed that he promised to pay for the airline ticket i bought, and is now most likely flaking on that as well.

o_m_g what a total asshole!! when we refer to most californian's here we think of stuck up, spoiled, and over-privileged. this is just based on the people i have experienced and their attitudes, but it seems to be a universal opinion of californian's by people in this state
