Well I traded video cards with an aquantance. I gave him my 9800pro with $75 bucks for his almost new 6800. He needed money bad so thats why we traded. So we swapped cards (on monday) and I didn't have all the money so he told me he needed it by friday and I told him I can pay him around 5 oclock after work when I get paid, he says its fine. Thursday comes up and he needs the money by Friday morning because he's going to Laughlin. I told him I couldn't and he was mad. So he said "give it to me Sunday", so Sunday rolls aroung and now he wants more money then origanally said. So I said the deals off. Then he comes to my house when Im not there and asked to get his card with out my permission. My mom wouldn't let him in so he left. Then he gets his friends in on it and there calling my house (when I have a cell phone) and my parents are all mad now (why did they bring it to my parents Im 21 years old can't he deal with me). Then we discuss it over the phone and he wants $300 bucks for his card because it's ruined since I put a maze4 waterblock on it (and I have the original heatsink with all hardware). I told him I'll trade him back, and he refuses. A little later last night his friend who is 40 years old threatens me and my dad that he will come to our work places and beat us up (didn't tell my dad that part but propably should have). Then my dad gives in and pays him $300 bucks to leave us alone. Im at work right now and his friend calls me a started cussing at me about something and I hung up since Im at work, and don't need trouble here. So now Im wondering what I should do?


Sorry about the rant, just really confused.

Kick his ass.

Also Im worried about my truck getting keyed or slashed tires and neither one of them is worth taking to court.

Call the police immediately.

Any other questions?

If you fold for me, I'll kick his ass.

Yeah I second what Rob said..

But there is nothing to get them on (no physical proof).

kick his ass THEN key HIS CAR

jk jk, just thought id even out the score for spectrum

2 for the cops 2 for ass kicking

But if his friend comes to your work and starts fighting, then you can..
How old is the dealer?

Hell there is not much else to say then, if you can't call the cops....just watch your back and lay low.....or just go kick his ass!! He is not a member of PR his he??? Just an aquantance?

Nothing to do now, he already got more than he should have for the card. 6800 = $250MSRP, so $50 + 9800.

You're dad should not have given in, he fulfilled a threat.

do this. you are having threats made against you. this (among other reasons) is why we have police. your tax dollars help pay for the police force, and handling situations like this is their job. do yourself (and your parents) a favor and call the police. good luck bro.

I would have not paid anything, kicked his ass, and asked if he wanted more personally. Sorry, I'm just aggressive. He shouldn't have been such a jerk.

Your dad paid him, so he wont bother you anymore right?

Well, you will have to forgive my frankness, but you are an dumb @ss for even going into a trade without having the dough to cover you part and then giving him an IOU...

actually, if they called you...

http://www.fearlesstiger.com/telephoneharassment.html (yes, i know it's a site to provent violence against women, but it serves the purpose. i mean no offense.)

call the cops.

I'll ship you my 3dfx collection. Use its intense heat output to melt your opponents.

i agree with calling the cops.
also put your can inside something or store it somwhere if your afraid of it getting damaged
my brothers car was vandalized twice before he took the spoiler off it,
the last time was when it was a hit and run.
they rammed his car from the side, if it hadn't been an 80s car made of metal, it would have been worse, but he fixes it up with some body work.

My dad drove over there and paid him last night and I got the treatening call about an hour ago. The guy I traded cards with is a member of Pimprig ( goldfingermafia , is his name I think) he doesn't post and he's 18 years old and his friend is 40 years old and doesn't know anything about a PC.


Also I told my dad not to pay him but he wanted it to end so he could go to bed.


Bob, I have no gargage to put my car in so it's open and I just bought My new Tacoma Prerunner 4 months ago. And like I said before they're not worth anything so if they vandalize it I'm screwed. And neither one of them own a vehicle (they're white trash)

An 18 year old haning out with a 40 year old huh.....cough cough.....loser???

And as a loyal member to PR I am not going for this BullSH!T I think that this member should catch some hell from us! And GK should do something as well. Mainly for the threating part of this whole deal. We don't threaten each other in here thats a NO NO!!!

He is a member but doesn't post or do anything but play the arcade.
