Someone at my school got ripped off.

So there's this kid at my school who recently bought an iPod Touch 2G for about $100. A week later, he thinks that his iPod broke because no matter what he did, he couldn't unlock the device. Then, another person offers to sell him a PSP. What did he sell it for? $200 and the supposedly broken iPod. The other one happily agrees, convinced that it was a steal. As you all know, PSPs are about $120. And it turns out that the iPod just needed a restore and now, it's back in working condition. Obviously, he got ripped off REALLY bad, and he doesn't even realize it. What do you think about the situation?

Replace the topic title with. "Someone at my school got a really good deal."

He's ridiculously immature and as you said, naive. A little bit inside me says that he had it coming.

Now, is there anybody that can do anything about it?[/quote]

Perhaps, if anyone who knew about what happened actually cared. All of his 'friends' know about it, but they didn't say anything.

Short answer, NOPE.

Your friend could've searched all the prices of everything first.
And, any iPod Touch problem (or almost any) can be fixed with Google.
So maybe this will teach the kid to do some research beforehand, but there's nothing you can do.
:/ Sorry.

To be honest, he's not a very bright kid. He doesn't even realize he got ripped off.

If he's dumb enough to not realize he's got ripped off, and even look up average prices of stuff, he deserved it.

You guys are thinking in terms of monetary value.

If the kid is happy with the exchange, then let him be.

Well, you know what to do...

Trade a broken DS Lite to him for the PSP and 200 dollars.

Hey guys, today I sold my PSP I originally bought for $100 to some kid in exchange for $200 and what he thought was a broken iPod touch. What a dumbass!

Lucky bastard. The guy who sold him the PSP, that is. The other guy's a fucking dumbass.

You won't believe the number of oppertunities you get at my school. From grade-increasing choices to getting money for pretty much nothing.

DUDE! I was reading on a forum, about someone who traded their iPod touch which they thought was broken and $200 to someone who traded a PSP. Man, small world.

Number one rule of making legit money fast; rip off suckers!

All it takes is one smart person, and one dumb person to make this work.

You can't help those stupid, you can only help those willing to be helped.
