Being jerks ... with unlimited supporting from my buddy "TaoLao"

The jerks now



So here is the recap:

I and my buddy TaoLao usually buy stuff from retail stores when those items are on sale. We try to use coupons when we buy so the price of these items are quite low.

We will resale those items on Ebay, Craiglist to make some profit. It is fun but sometime it is a lot of fun even though we could not sell a thing.

I have a color laser printer that I bought long time ago 6-7 months but it is still in sealed box, brand new.

I posted it for sale at $100.00 but I am willing to go down may be $90.00. Yeah, To be honest I am going to make $50.00+ off this one.

I got an email from a buyer "Stoichita Razvan"

Stoichita Razvan:I could offer you 50$ cash on it since Staples had the same printer in sale for 50$ after instant rebate and I guess yours does not come with warranty anymore or it is less then 1year which is the original man. warranty.

Let me know,
Raz.

He pissed me off with his smart ass attitude so I replied.

Nguyen Mai:
I just sold it 5 minutes ago. tks

Then I thought more about it, it would be fun to mess with this guy a bit more.

Nguyen Mai:
Could you tell me which Staples store is selling it ? I would love to buy me one too

thank you

Stoichita Razvan:
it was on offer. the offer ended now. but i think you can find it at any staples store.

At this time my buddy, TaoLao, got pissed off with the story about the guy too so he asked me to reply the guy

Nguyen Mai - TaoLao:
So they are selling it at Staples at $140 + tax now ? I still have one on hand, do you want to buy it for $100 cash now, NO TAX

Stoichita Razvan:
50$ cash since I won't get the warranty for it.

Nguyen Mai - TaoLao:
Yes, you get warranty. I just bought this one at Staples for $50 after $50 off. Try just to make a quick $50

Stoichita Razvan:
than it means the printer is used for a couple months now and it has just a couple months warranty left.
be honest.. when did you buy it? how long has it been used?

TaoLao got mad because the guy did not read the ads clearly. We stated that the printer is brand new in a sealed box.

Nguyen Mai - TaoLao:
I bought it when Staples had it on sale but i did not use it. It is BRAND NEW IN SEALED BOX

Stoichita Razvan:
ok. so .. still the warranty will be like 3 months left since the offer ended back in February as I remember.
so take 50$ and I come get it.

TaoLao wanted me to reply the guy "take your $50.00 and stick it up you A$$ !" but i do not want to end the fun too early

Nguyen Mai - TaoLao:
warranty only effect when you register on Samsung.com
so you bought it today go home and register and you get 12 month warranty
but I just get another offer for $51, i have to consider a bit

TaoLao-BigBelly (Kha Vo) :
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND
Are you going to $52 if the guy accept $51 ?
keep the game a little bit longer

Yeah, now we are talking about negotiation, you can see clearly, when i mentioned that i could sell the printer for ONE WHOLE DOLLAR more, the guy raised his price

Stoichita Razvan:
55 but that's my best offer.

TaoLao-BigBelly (Kha Vo) :
what the fuck

Nguyen Mai:
hahahaha
should i go for $56

TaoLao-BigBelly (Kha Vo) :
wait a little bit. May be tonight bro

I and TaoLao did have some good time, then I came up with the idea of sharing this with every people

Nguyen Mai:
hey bro, i think we should post this one on my blog

TaoLao-BigBelly (Kha Vo) :
yup
give me some credit ass hole

Nguyen Mai:
Damn, we are jack asses

TaoLao-BigBelly (Kha Vo) :

2009 Vietnam trip: Phu Bai airport it was all disappointed

I hate Hue's airport. Phu Bai airport, i believe. The most sucky airport that I've even been to.

Yeah, We would take off from Hue to get back to Saigon. The airplane was scheduled to take off around 3PM and we would be home around 5PM. We arrived at the airport around 2:30PM and my first comment was "This damn international airport's toilet is worse than any coffee shop's toilet that I've ever been to."

1. There was not enough bench at the airport for people to sit down
2. You could not check in your luggage until 30 minutes before the plane take off
3. You could NOT sit at the cafeteria unless you bought drink from them and this f..king cafeteria had no food
4. The airplane was delayed 3 times and did not take off until 6:30PM
5. You would need to get a taxi to go back to Hue city to get some food

We finally went up stair to wait for boarding, we did have to wait another hour before the airplane was arrive.The waiting room was a joke, you don't even want to hear about it and i don't even want to talk about it.

So what the hell this city was doing ? Oh yeah, they were having their own stimulus plan to rescue their economy. But they f..ked up their reputation. They should take the "international" word down. It was all ashamed.

I would try my best to avoid this airport and you should too.
