TO MODS: I don't know where to post this but I feel it should be here so this will not happen to other cellphone buyers. If you feel this thread would be better somewhere else, please feel free to transfer this. Thank you.

THE STORY: (Please pardon me for the lengthy detail para walang labis walang kulang sa amo communication.)I saw a post in istorya a black iphone 3gs 16gb complete at 11,000.00. I was interested so i texted the seller:
ME: February 14, 11:40am - I ask if the unit is still available.
SELLER: February 14, 11:56am - Yes, Iphone 3gs 16gb still available.
ME: February 14, 11:40am - I ask what is included in the package and if the phone is openline and jailbroken already.
SELLER: February 14, 12:01pm - As is ra ni siya kay new man, kamo na pa jailbreak to ios5, complete accessories ni with free screen guard, openline kay direct ko nag buy didto hongkong.
ME: February 16, 04:28pm - Sir, naa pa imo iphone 3gs 16gb? Paliton nako sa metro gaisano ta kita magpauban na lang ko kay di ko familiar sa place.
SELLER: February 16, 04:50pm - Asa nga metro gaisano? Naa pa Iphone 3gs 16gb.
ME: February 16, 04:53pm - Metro gaisano sa colon sir... Kanang duol sa unitop... 6pm ko out sa work so mga 1hr after pa tingali ko maabot diha kay mag gikan ko sa mabolo...
SELLER: February 16, 04:57pm - Ah, duol ra na mabolo, sige, sa food court lang ta mag abot, txt lng nya
ME: February 16, 05:08pm - Oki doki... Text ko if duol na mi sa metro sir...
SELLER: February 16, 05:11pm - Ok, iphone 3gs nga 16gb to imoha noh? Kay basin lain akng madala
ME: February 16, 05:23pm - Yes sir iphone 3gs 16gb black kadto complete and openline but wala pa na jailbreak. hehe...
SELLER: February 16, 05:28pm - Sige, 800 ra man daw pa jailbreak ani sa emall
ME: February 16, 06:18pm - Sir, duol na ko sa metro gaisano colon...
SELLER: February 16, 06:20pm - Cge, padung pako
ME: February 16, 06:44pm - Here na ko sir....
SELLER: February 16, 06:46pm - Sige, bag.o pa sad ko abot, padung ko food court
SELLER: February 16, 06:48pm - Naa ko dire lingkod near elevator, naka white polo shirt ko
ME: February 16, 06:50pm - Ok. Naka violet ko nga polo shirt girl ko nga tamse. Ako kauban girl pud nga naka stripe black and white.
SELLER: February 16, 06:52pm - Ok
DEAL WAS DONE COZ I TRUSTED THE SELLER KAGALANG GALANG MAN GUD KAAYO SIYA AND HE LOOKS NOT THE TYPE NGA MANGILAD BESIDES THE FACT NGA EVERYTHING.. THE BOX, MANUALS 3GS JUD ANG MARK. IN FAIRNESS, EVERYTHING IS IN SUPERB CONDITION KAY AKO MAN GI TEST.

PROBLEM REVEALED:
ME: February 16, 11:35pm - Hi sir, good evening. Sorry to bother you this late but i need to inform you that the unit you gave me is not 3gs but 3g only. when i got home i tested and checked the unit. i went to camera but there is no video capability thus i went to apple website and enter the unit's serial number and it confirms that the unit is only a 3g 16gb and not 3gs 16gb. Please replace this unit with the correct one. i can meet you tomorrow same place. thanks.
SELLER: February 17, 06:32am - Ah, mao ba, sorry to inform u but mao ra jud ni mga unit namo, wala na lain, 3gs man ingon sa akng supplier gud, mao na nga mao akng nabutang sa ads, pero ang price the same, sorry for the misinfo, but di na mi maka ilis sa unit

NA SHOCK KO KAY PARA SA SELLER THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE MIS-INFORMATION BUT TO ME IT IS NOT KAY IKAPILA BAYA JUD NAKO GI RE-ITERATE NGA 3GS 16GB JUD AKO PALITON. BESIDES, DI BA DAPAT KUNG MAMALIGYA TA KABALO TA SA ATO GIBALIGYA AND IF NOT WE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR MISTAKE.

ME: February 17, 03:17pm - Ok ra sir nga dili ko ilisan sa unit but i have to return the item and get my cash... Mahalan ra man gud ko kay naa may namaligya nako ug 9k kani lang jud imo ako gi buy kay i want a 3gs jud...

WALA NA SIYA NI REPLY NAKO SO I SENT THE SAME TEXT MESSAGE TO SELLER at 6:25pm...

SELLER: February 17, 06:38pm - Cash already paid to supplier, no return from supplier, sorry
ME: February 17, 06:56pm - Mao ba sir? So wala na lang jud tay resolution ani akong case? di na lang jud ka mo take ug responsibility for what happened? No offense but I feel cheated jud.

I WONDER WHY HE PAID IT TO HIS SUPPLIER (IF IT IS TRUE) KNOWING THAT GABII PA LANG I INFORMED HIM SA SITUATION.

SELLER: February 17, 06:50pm - Karn pa man ko naka dawat ingon ani nga complain, 4 yrs na ko ga deal2x ug mga gadgets, and its always buy at ur own risk if online, no refund frm supplier

BEWARE LANG MO MGA FELLOW ISTORYAN BUYERS KAY DAGHAN KAAYO SIYA MGA ITEMS POSTED DIRI AND MGA HIGH-END KASAGARA.

ME: February 17, 07:16pm - mao bitaw sir nga wa jud ko gapamalit online diri ra ko sa istorya.net ky meet-up meet-up ang style. Dugay na sad ko sa istorya sir pero karon pa jud ko kasugakod ug seller na parehas nimo nga dili mo take ug responsibility sa iyang mistake...

UNTIL NOW WALA NA JUD KOY NADAWAT NGA REPLY FROM THE SELLER.....

For the record, I do think that the seller did not really know that it wasn't a 3gs. What frustrates me is seller becoming PONTIUS PILATE nga nanghugas na lang sa iyang mga kamot anyway naka kwarta na man siya... FAET!!!
