Brody McCain Ordered a bunch of computer parts, which were to be used in repairing laptops, and sold , and then the money to be divided. Seattle Washington
Mr Brody McCain, contacted me through a Craigslist ad I posted for a lot of 50 each of cdroms, batteries, and power cords for Dell laptop computers. I was looking to just sell these as lot, but after arriving to deliver them in Tacoma, and finding he did not have the money on him to cover the transaction, we arrivd at an agreement in which I would leave some of the parts (10 of each) which he would use to repair the laptops he already had.
He was then to sell the laptops. After the laptops were sold, the agreement was to divide any monies from that sale in half. My parts, his laptops, without parts, 50/50. This would be a fair arrangement if he had followed through on his end of the agreement, though that would not be the way things worked out.
After, a couple months of correspondence back and forth, and email after email of stalling and false promises, he eventually just stopped responding at all when I demanded he pay for the parts at a very reasonable price of $10 each for a total of $300. This man is a fraud and scammer. He sells sub par laptops, mostly older Pentium 3's which aren't even worth the price he's selling them for. Especially when you can can get a low end new laptop for $300.

Brody has contacted me and agreed to pay and/or work out this misunderstanding when I have cleaned up his name on ripoffreport.com. This is my attempt to do so. He has agreed to pay for the parts ordered, and hopefully this will be the end of the disagreement.

"After the laptops were sold, the agreement was to divide any monies from that sale in half. My parts, his laptops, without parts, 50/50."
That doesnt really sound like a fair agreement. Assuming the parts were all functional, I think 10.00 each is not a good deal considering how old these parts and laptops are described in this report. If the parts were new then I'd agree with this complaint but I think the parts are over priced. How much does an old P3 laptop sell for? 75.00? Ive seen them at that price and lower. I think it would be impossible to install the parts, fix and upgrade the old laptops, advertise and sell them and be expected to pay 30.00 from every laptop sale with apparently no help from this reporting party.
I think you exposed that you were doing some of your own ripping off.
