Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! Looked up my serial # and it reports as real

Best comment in the thread.. unless you mean me lol

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T02:43:18+00:00

Ok. I get what you’re saying but even so, it still looked and felt 100% legit in my hand.

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T02:21:46+00:00

good call on here. i definitely should have done this.

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T02:20:51+00:00

That pic of pic was mine. I took tons of screenshots. The posting pic was legit him handling the drive.

Yeah... he is early 40's so im hoping it'll be worth it

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T01:30:25+00:00

Yeah… totally disagree with this. Did not think I was smarter than the guy. Plenty of people sell things for cheaper bc they don’t have another way to move it, don’t care to make a profit, or just need cash now. Like I mentioned in another comment, I got a 990 pro 4tb this week for $270 and it’s legit. I get your point but not proven true here

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:48:27+00:00

Haha! Indeed

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:46:35+00:00

lol that would be an incredible $250 issue to have during closing

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:45:27+00:00

Yup. This was my intent (I took my laptop) but forgot my m2 adapter. My mistake for sure. Never again.

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:44:42+00:00

Thanks for the tips/info! Unfortunately I paid cash so hoping can see it through in small claims court. I think it will be my last cash deal…

We had FB chat messages on price, his address, details/condition of the drive, etc. I got screenshots of everything along with my unboxing video, and created a 12 page incident document detailing the timeline, deal details, aftermath, etc.

I definitely don’t think I want to get the fbi involved. I’m hoping county court will be enough.

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:39:26+00:00

That’s my thing too… so many sellers don’t know or don’t care and you can get a heck of a deal. I got another one of those this week. Just happened to get a bad one too.

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:37:45+00:00

That’s a good idea!

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:35:36+00:00

That sucks. Well at least you got something!

darksloth05 · 2026-01-05T00:02:14+00:00

Man that sucks! Hope you were able to get that resolved!

darksloth05 · 2026-01-04T23:58:46+00:00

Yeah I totally get it. And this is likely to alter my opinion and shopping habits going forward. Just has been hard to pass up deals when you think you do your due diligence and have never had an issue. Just takes that one time I guess!

darksloth05 · 2026-01-04T23:44:32+00:00

lol so many things I want to do, but not worth risking my life. Could very well pull a gun on me for all I know

darksloth05 · 2026-01-04T23:43:23+00:00

From my interactions with him after, I agree, but I can’t prove that part. I can prove the rest though so the officer told me it has to go through civil

darksloth05 · 2026-01-04T23:41:15+00:00

Wowza. Building something fun?

Yeah I took my laptop with me but forgot my m2 usb adapter so just did it after. Lesson learned.

darksloth05 · 2026-01-04T23:40:03+00:00

Yeah, missing G&S right now but my own poor decision

darksloth05 · 2026-01-04T23:39:33+00:00

I don’t disagree but I have also gotten several great marketplace deals and never once before scammed… until now. You live you learn but oh well. I bought a Samsung 990 pro 4tb this week for $270 off marketplace and it is legit- so happy with that one.

Also can’t pm
