Hey Will, I am not in anyway accusing you being shady and the worst thing I am implying here is that your lack of communication. The only thing I am trying to achieve by starting this thread is trying to know what really happened to our deal. Well, I found out now, even though you could have just sent me quick text or PM before to save me the trouble of going through all of this.
I understand it is hassle for you to drive all the way up here. That's why I answered yes when you asked is it ok for me to drive down to the loop and pick it up on Sunday. I personally would prefer to sell my stuff to the guy who is willing to pick it up at your place too. But fact to matter is that, I made two attempts to drive all the way down south to pick up the item in the past two days. But you pushed both of them off at the last minute. Is that really my fault?
If you think selling the xbox to me is too much of hassle or deal just would work for us because of the time constraint, that's fine with me. But at least let me know man, rather than ignoring all my PM and letting me wait for nothing. I apologize for all the phone calls I made to your friends, but you should have let me know before hand rather than posting a vague "SOLD" on your post 2 hours after when we are suppose to meet. And honestly, if you had contacted me before, I am willing to raise the your current price and buy your xbox and all the games rather than going out and buying a new for $200 more.

Like you said, you didn't lose any money, so there's really no point in starting a thread about this. I even posted on the thread that it was sold.. and I figured you would get the point.
I spoke with you last night and asked if you can come down and pick it up tonight, but you said you were going to be busy packing up to go home. So I said that I will drive it to you if anything. But during the day, I had 3 other offers, 2 out of state and one from here. The guy offered to come pick it up from my house when I was free.
Put yourself in my position... would you not sell it to this person? Did I ever charge you? Did you lose any money?
I even told you I will get off work early to meet you if you come down, but you said you had finals... understandable... I then told you that I have plans this evening, but it will be towards the Northside and I will try to drop it off if anything. Again.. key phrase being, "if anything".
And you did not call me because you don't even have my phone number. When I spoke with you last night, it was from my buddies phone because we were in the lobby of the Casino, and I had no reception. If anything, you must of annoyed the hell out of him.
The fact that you would use, "I'm a college student", to try to get sympathy for a lack of time, is absolutely ludicrous. I was a college student too, and I had all the time in the world and still managed to graduate Summa Cum Laude, top 25 of my class. (See the irrelevancy I'm using for this argument, similar to what he's doing, to try to gain credibility?)
Look, I'm sorry you didn't get your XBox, but the fact that you're trying to call me out for being shady when I didn't rip you off, is stupid. And to post my full name, like it's really going to get me in trouble, is even more childish.
If you would have actually paid me via paypal, or we had some type of monetary transaction, then I would have definitely sold it to you. I sold several things on this forum and never have I ripped anyone off. I just shipped out two items today, the same day I was paypaled the money.
If you don't believe me, ask the buyers, Cuban335i and Shaun18.
Bottom line, I'm sorry you couldn't get it. If our schedule worked out better then I would have sold it to you. But it was economical or time efficient for me to drive all to way to Evanston, when I'm in the Southloop to sell you something that I already feel is marked 35% off what I can get in the open market. This kid, Danny, I believe his name was, came to pick it up, right when I got home. I apologize that I didn't let you know, but I posted on my thread that it was sold. Sorry.
