Input: Text: for starters, my friend joe was recently given a 250gb xb360 slim from some guy who didn't want it anymore, (for free!) now joe already had a 360 and didn't have any use for another, so he asked me to drive him to a nearby gamestop to make the sale.

i figured he'd probably make around $80 for the thing considering a new one of the same model and harddrive size costs $299 at retail. and it was in fine working condition nonetheless.

so we enter the gamestop with the xbox 360 and a couple of games to boot, place it on the counter, and set in motion the "stupidest transaction of all time."

the store clerk advised joe that he'll receive 20% less profit if he's paid in cash rather than in store credit, but joe was not deterred. determined to walk away with some extra dough no matter what amount he decided to stick with the cash amount, and lose the 20% extra credit. i thought that was understandable. joe wasn't planning on buying from the store anytime soon, and he really had no need for another 360, and so the employee rang up the console, two games, and proceeded to tell us just how much it all was worth.

45$... yep... awful. but joe didn't care. he said he was fine with that deal and agreed to hand over the goods for a measly 45 bucks. but before he had a chance, the man asked joe if the console came with a controller. turns out it did not, and gs doesn't accept consoles if you don't also have a controller to sell along with it. so we were told that we would have to now buy a used controller from gs just to sell the console to them lowering the profit from an already low $45, to an even more disappointing $15.

that amount was then lowered a second time to $9.51 after the -20% was taken off, and an extra bit for some reason i can't remember. that's when i finally stepped in.

i casually brought it up to my friend that instead of him selling to the store for almost nothing, i would take the box off of his hands for the same amount. surely i could find a friend or someone nearby who was interested in the item. i was certain that i could find i person who would take it off my hands for more than ten freaking dollars.

but as it would happen i wasn't as clear with joe about my intentions as i thought i was. apparently he thought i meant i would buy the thing back from gs after he sold it to them first! expecting joe to take back the box and games i stood there for a minute and kinda spaced out before i realized what had just happened. the deal was made, and joe sold two games and an xbox 360 s with a 250gb hdd for less than ten dollars.

 

edit: spelling.

TIFU by poorly communicating with my friend resulting in him making the stupidest transaction of all time.
