Well it's no good shouting about it now (snigger) no money up front should have meant no graphics card.

Ahh I have heard of this problem before, he needs to stabalise the voltages from his -probably- cheap psu. The easiest way of doing this is to smear all the cables with mustard. The added insulation will almost certainly solve the problem.

Learn your lesson from this.

Whenever you're selling something to a mate, don't be afraid to ask for the money there and then...if you are too afraid to ask then you end up in situations like this.

Explain the situation to him and tell him that it is tough luck, you bought the card off me. When can I get my money? Offer to help him look for another replacement and fit it for him is my sugestion.

But unlucky man...

Whappers.

Then offer him a sandwich, although you might need to cut into two sandwiches, one for each half of his body...

But i thought that if you cut a sandwich in half, you got two sandwiches not two halves? :confused:

Thats what I said... admittedly I missed an "it" between 'cut' and 'into'.

You do however get two halves of a body of you cut in half, not two bodies...

No, no! That's far too easy!

Using fine metal shavings instead, and shove some into the powersupply for guaranteed payment. :cool:

He took it off you, it was working. He was going to pay. All done.

Now its broke, but he hasn't paid you = His fault and his kneecaps would be at risk

NUKE HIM FROM ORBIT

woodsy2k · 15 Dec 2006 at 16:19

He still owes you regardless. It broke when he was using it. As said, should have been no money = no card.

I believe the correct responce to the situation if he doesnt pay is a fusion of all the good advice given so far

Go round there. Rub mustard in his face. Following this the random organisms around will start feeding on it. Whilst shouting in his mustard covered face, sharpen HIS keyboard, proceed to slice the organisms and shave his now hair covered face. Take your card back, sharpen that, and slice him in the ovaries. set fire to his face, and his pets.

Following this, text all his family with the caps lock on and let them know you want your money. Then just to add to the fear, beat THEM with the large stick to let them know you mean business.

Once all is said and done, then try and sell him your 8800

no, no, no, he doesnt want hairy wires, he wants his graphics card to look manly and rugged, like the graphics it produces
