Never Buy used I-phones posted in QL

QL ads are at your own risk. Test products before purchasing. Sorry that you had to deal with this. Its not bad compared to the others who lost way more money on bad products and/or services. Lessoned learned. Now go get the sucka who stiffed you.

If somebody remembers well than I posted a post regarding before buying a used IPAD what precautions u shoul dtake.... OK?Now what happened one German lady put an ad over here prior to that my post...she was selling the IPAD 64 GB wifi 3G for 2000 because she dont want it anymore as it was an unwanted gift and she was not perfect in operating it.Now when we asked her in email (within 20 minutes of her post) with few queries as advised by my US based engineer cousin..she sent a mail back that she just sold it... .....such a fake ad..

@Manoj, Thank you for the advice and I truly wish if some action is being taken for this person "althaf" - 55448643 (Abdul Sataar) by name. But what is the use. These people will cancel this account and will start-up again with a new account. And it is easy to get a new sim number. There is no control over anything in this world except the fear that there is an almighty God who is watching over all in-justice deeds. The world has changed in such a way that people least care about people. Its money power, pride, possessions...etc.. The human society is blinded by these riches not even knowing what is going to happen the next moment. However, God is living and those who do in-justice will surely have to face the consequence. I do not want to take up a case against this person as I have already surrendered this to my God and he will fight for me. It is true that losing thousands of riyals and forgetting is very difficult but may be for a person like me, It was in this way that God has taught me this lesson. If God be for us, who can be against us. I truly have experienced and will keep experiencing it for the rest of my life. I feel relaxed now.

Dear friend,

you r right but if moderator wish they can assist upto some extend or they can take some diciplanry action so in future % fraud could be reduced.if thing is small it could be forget but this is in terms of thousand very difficult i have same experience for the same thing but issue is different i think some particular gang is rooming in this pure networks.

Thank you all once again.

I do not think taking up a complaint with capital police station will be a good idea as what I understand is that for any case, there must be an evidence. What evidence cud i give them in this case. Probably a print out (which I already have) and the iphone. Need to chase this guy down else what I would do is, "Pray to God so that he will be blessed and his family will be blessed" and forgive him.

@dinesh: Thank you for the advice and yes, these kind of mistakes are always new lessons learned. As I mentioned earlier, this is the first time I am buying a used item and yes, if people who sell these items have a responsibility in presenting them in good condition; then its alright. But there are some items and some people who cant be trusted at all.

Im really sorry what you have faced. as jegan said, you cannot put all the blame on sellers. I even sell on QL for two or more months now. but if there is some defect or something, I have told them,but fortunately, Im not a careless guy and I only sell used items by myself or new items with packaging. im really sorry what you have faced. but it is your responsibility to study the item "google" it and the item should be thouraly inspected before buying. I highly recommend it.

@jegan - I aint putting blame on the sellers...all I am doing is to create an awareness among all QL friends on how to deal with these sellers especially when buying used electronic items. This is a trusted joint community and people must have a trust relationship. Not like this person who sold to me and I even called him back in less than an hour to tell him that this iphone was not working and he was not willing to return back the money. I am pretty sure that he knew there was some fault with this phone and he just wanted to dump this onto someone. Anyhow, I will never ever buy used items and even if I do sell something, I will make sure of my honest commitment in business. All money gained by cheating will one way vanish. Only hard-earned money will bring out fruits and prosper.

Thank you and yes, I will indeed make note of your advice

While buying this kind of stuff price is comparison is important but dont forget to count the seller's service & trust.

sorry to hear this but you are not the first victimyou cannot put the blame on all sellers, when you use a word "Never Buy" it really affect the whole QL Traders.I have been selling in QL for nearly 3 years, so far I concern about customer satisfaction. I always offer 2 days return policy after sale.as Just1s said, if you are really not sure the seller you can demand for 2 days return policy & a ID copy.but in your case you have been very concerned about the price instead of seller's identification.While buying this kind of stuff price is comparison is important but dont forget to count the seller's service & trust.

If he doesnt pick-up the call, try sending him an SMS telling that you will report him to capital polilce.If he still did not response, then Do it. police will identify the person by his mobile nos.

Thank you all for sharing your advices and thoughts on this. I have been trying to call this person and he never picks up the call.

I hope he feels pricked in his heart and returns back the money.

did you translate it using google?

Thanks for sharing your unpleasant transaction an allertive eye openening message  for every one. Apart for this I appreciate your belief in our creator and Particulary the golden saying  of " Unearned Money and possession will never be a blessing".  Also thanks for sharing your pure, wonderful thought. 

I thought qatar living is visited only by punks and freaky traffic.  Toady i had a second thought of wonderful souls like you do visit.

this guy has been selling a lot of stuff in Ql. Wonder how his prodcuts are

We are all aware that buying used items can't guarantee the quality of items, we just have to be more CAREFUL and SMART in choosing the item by quality checking. unless we are lucky that the seller is honest and God fearing individual.ANyways, I want to share my point of view in selling and buying the item.1. seller should be certain that the item is good condition if not honestly mention the fault of the item-A guarantee of 1 or 2 days should be given to the buyer by writing speciallly to those Big amounts.2. buyer should demand a copy of ID copy from the selller, to avoid thise type of activityIm also selling some items here before BUT I always tell to the buyer  "if you find any problem within 2 days you can return the item to me".

We too had very bad experience in buying Projector.People dump their defective stuff in QL 

Sad, very sad..., use the contact us link on the Top right of this page and report to QL Moderators with all details to blacklist/ban this seller.

i feel sorry for u as u lost a huge sum of amount but next time be carefull in dealing things especially electronics as they get easily screwed up

go to capital security and file a case of cheating against the guy.

Check electronics well before you buy! And don't bileve the whole story which a seller might tell to sell his good.Its the buyers duty to check it well before buying and if you have no idea on the product you gonna buy,ask someone,google on it and take someone who knows about the product with you.PEACE!

 Never had bad experience with second hand electronic so far. The Point is BE A SMART BUYER .... knows what you buy properly

of 'KARMA'.what goes around comes around ;)

I will make an addition to your advise....Dont Ever Buy Any Type of Used Electronic Item....from someone, specially when he post an ad for it....I encountered with two incidents, one with the Laptop and one was a 3 in one Printer. Laptop was atleast ok but the battery was gone. But the printer was not printing the black print. Once I called the guy within 2 hours, he replied the same way....you checked the item and I wll not take it back. Finally I compromised with QR 100/- deduction and he returned the printer.So, moral of the story, dont ever buy used ELECTRONICs until the user is your closed friend and you know the item he is using for long time.

I called the seller and reported about this and he was smart indeed to tell me that you did check infront of me and never reported this complaint. On my question to give my money back, he told me that you have taken this iphone to a service centre and opened it and it will be difficult for me to return the money. I do not have any other option rather than to be sorry for not being smart enough. Therefore, please, my dear QL friends, never puchase any used Iphones selling for cheap prices. If you guys come up with a solution so that I can get back my money, pls do share it. There could also be a chance, this phone was actually owned by him or could he have stolen it from somewhere. God only knows.

oh so sad......thanks for sharing ur experience

Or you could report it to the admin to blacklist him...

Uhhhmm, you could have told the seller that the camera and wifi isnt working :( and demand your money back. . .

Thanks for sharing...Sorry for your bad experience!
