Sketchy Sidekick Sale?

Post by metkillerjoe »

A couple of weeks ago I made my final decision to get a cheap Sidekick 3 ($50-100). Now, it just so happens that eBay is notorious for giving things (almost) for free. So, naturally, I went there, and in 15 minutes I had two bargains.

For now, I will only discuss one because to me, the circumstances surrounding this on auction sidekick 3 are interesting to say the least, if not humorous.

Let us call the seller Mike.

This is Mike's auction description:
This is a t-mobile sidekick 3 up for parts or repair. The charger port is loose and has to be re-sauldered. Also the motherboard might be the problem but I dont think it is. other than the charger port phone works, so if you can repair it yourself or get an easy repair then this is a good phone. I dont know how to fix phones and didnt really bother taking it to a shop and got a new phone.
On November 21, 2007, Mike bought a Sidekick on eBay. The Sidekick had a
charger [which] needs to be wrapped around the phone tightly to have it make good contact, i think it just needs to be cleaned out or something.
Notice what the Mike's auction and his first buy have in common? Both have faulty charging ports.


Now, the next thing Mike buys is:

Well, at this point, it looks like Mike is fed up with the fact that he either cannot get the phone to charge or cannot fix it.

Mike buys another phone and does not pay.

He then goes on to buy a memory card and a docking station.

What's your opinion? Should I continue to bid or just let whoever wants it to take it?
