Some people can be too kind.
Like on this forum people moan over stupid little things, like a crap topic or rubbish grammer.
But on the forum that my dad uses (me too), he was asking if any one had bought anything from a company called Dreamvision UK, and were he could find it.
The reason being that i bought an MP3 player of Ebay from that company for £100 and it broke after 4 weeks, i didn't drop it or anything.
One of the moderators and his wife replied to my dad saying that they know that address, it is only 4 miles from their home, and that they will go down there and see what the company is like.
After going down there on Friday, they said it was an old council flat and looked abandoned.
One of the other moderators (My dad and all the other people mentioned are moderators) said that he would like to help, as it is horrible to get £100 out of a 15 year old. So he has come up with an idea, he said that he is going to order 20 of the guys speakers that he is selling and he is going to ask if he can come and pick them up from his house.
When he arrives at the guys place to pick up the speakers he is going to question him about the MP3 player and ask why he has not replied to 2 letters, more then 5 emails and 2 phone calls. (Obviously he is not really buying the speakers) If the guy says that he does not want the guy comming to his house then he is gunna say no deal.
These people have only known my dad for about 3-4 years now, never met him, but they are doing all this just to help out and be nice. You would never find that on this forum.
Not only that, but lots of people on the forum have said that they would like to donate a couple of quid towards my loss, they even got a partition thing going, i think they got to something like £50, but me and my dad both said no. There really is no need for them to pay for something some one else has done.
Just helping us by going round to their flat was enough.

I wonder what will happen when the guy gets to the flat and asks about the MP3 player and why he has ignored us. And that he doesnt actually want the speakers.

Heh heh heh.

Yeah I was just going to ask if you realised just how much of a bad idea going round there is? Not being nasty, I'm being nice. You have no idea who the guy is and what he's capable of. And what if he's not alone?

He could pull out a gun and blow the guy's head off. Going round there is a stupid idea if you ask me.

For every nice person, there are five absolute, well, you know. That's the way the world is, sadly.

I'm somewhere inbetween.

Not, most of you are ok, even you are most of the time memo.

Im just saying that people don't even know me in life are willing to give me money to make up for my loss. I just think that, that is unbelievably kind.

The addrss he gave us turned out to be fake, we checked it befor we sent it there, thats were that cancill flat was.

Phoned the number yesturday morning, as i said it didn't work and when my dads mate got all of hir "Real" details (i wont say how) The guy had actually changed the last 2 numbers on the number, but now i have his real number, my dad should be trying that number today.

But we also has his "Real" address so the my dads's mates are going to round to his "real" address, just to ASK about the MP3 player and if it would be allright if he repaired it or something. He is not going round to be like "Oi you fool fix this or ill pound your face" Because, well the guy would probably call the police. But that would get him in trouble too because he sold me a crappy thing that broke, and come to think about it i did take out insurence when i bought it, it just extended the garantee for an extra year.
