Default oh my stoopid.. i'm not getting my laptop back :rant:

:rant:
aight so i buy a laptop off ebay.. its all good i get stuff on it and what not, having a good ole time and whatever.. then only half the memory (of 256mb) decides to load instead of all of it ... so luckily i bought a NEW warranty.. they tell me i gotta send it to some place in california to get it looked at and fixed.. fixed? either its the dimm or the socket, if its the socket i need a whole new mother board.. ok fine.. so i get a call today (4 weeks after i sent it in) from a dude saying they couldnt fix it so they are sending me a check for what i paid for it.. ok :wtf: i haev stuff on there that i'd rly like.. but the place that has it charges $250/hr to "rescue" my files.. so i ask if they could just send me the laptop and keep the money.. nope, no such luck.. very stoopid.. they are sending the money.. so i call the shop (market west or some ish) to see if i cant buy the laptop from them and the dude says he calls me back after he finds out...

:rant:
3 hours later i call him and he says "oh yea my supervisor says we cant sell it to you".. hmm ok so i hang up.. my dad tips me the idea of asking for the supervisor.. so i call back and ask for the supervisor (a diff person answers this time, a lady) and the first dude gets on..i say "is the the supervisor?" "yes it is" ok so can i buy it from you? "its policy that you cant" who's policy? "my boss's" whats yer boss's name? linda.. is linda there? no.. when will she be? not to day........

:rant:
i said ok i'll call monday and talk to linda, the dude said that they just plan on throwing it away... so why the **** would "linda" not want to sell it to me for a couple hundred bucks? the dude said she'd say the same thing he is.. i said **** that i'll call monday...

what the **** is wrong with ppl?? ****... :rant:

Ha ha, their probably going through all the porn you had on it, that's why they don't want to give it back. Just out of curiosity, what kind of laptop was it? I bought a Dell Inspiron 8200 off there a few months ago and I love the damn thing. Seeya.
