How We See The World

My dad got a PSP free through work so we decided to see it. Went for £132 + £10 postage = 100% profit! Anyway turns out that the guy who bought it had some dodgey things with his account and some nigerians got hold of his paypal and whatnot. I wasn't going to post it before i found out that it was part of a scam as the address was something like bongo bus stop (true). So I have put it on second chance to a guy who bidded three times and was out bidded in the last minute by £2.00. I just hope he still wants it. So I have learnt. Never buy/ sell to nigerians. Oh and thank god i'm not stupid like some and posted the PSP before I got paid.
