hello again!

i felt the need to post my frustration and desperation here of unable to successfully get a Nintendo Wii console for past 4 months, partially due on my doings and ignorance. Also, I didn't want to drop this on my friends over and over, since they might gotten tired of it.

for those who don't know about my plight, I was attempting to acquire my very own Wii console, starting in mid September. With thick wad of money in my claws and as I was browsing through Ebay, I was contacted by a "trusted seller" from ebay. You might guessed right about what happen next. He's a scam artist and pretty smart one at that... I sent $320 to him for his supposedly promised Wii console and two controllers, only to find out that he stabbed in my back. I tried getting Ebay to get involved, but there is nothing they could do since my money are already in his claws. I was forced to block the scam artist's email so he wouldn't steal anymore of my money, lest he try to fool me more.

I was extremely frustrated and angry to the core, i actually felt like I wanna beat him up really bad eek no really! Well, since the con artist lived so far away, I doubt I will find him and ask for my money back...

for months, I was at my wit-end, trying to find any methods to earn that $320 back. I even tried paid research study, online referrral system, tournaments, and even kind charity from my friends. Well, I only earned 80 bucks so far and had to use some for college, which frustrated me even more... and my friends couldn't help me out since they found important need for their money. I can't blame them, they're my friend and they need it more than I do.

But still... it seem that I won't be getting a Wii in time for holiday, despite my hard efforts crying well, hopefully I can get one before Smash Bros Brawl release date because I want to play Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy.


oh well...

at least to those who are very lucky to get a Wii, enjoy that shiny new machine! 3nodding
Nintendo did great this time, huh?
