This is a question Ripped Off

A friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".

They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!

How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

I can see why all you fellas love Rachelswipe. But please, give us ladies a chance with her ;)
As for ripping people off - a few years ago, my first husband and I had a convertible VW Golf. Ex hubby was experimenting with selling cars on Ebay, and we decided to sell the VW and by a Karmann Ghia.
We got the Ghia (god, she was beautiful) and a couple of weeks later, we sold the convertible. The buyer lived in Fresno, which was approx a 4 1/2 hour drive from us, so we offered to drive it up there and then get the train back (it was an adventure and we figured it would be fun - it was).

3 days before taking it up there, one of the axles broke, so we took it to the local Mexicans and had it jerry-rigged for approx $350 (as opposed to $1K plus) and drove it up there.

We actually sold it to the singer and drummer couple from the band Animotion - they had a one hit wonder with Obsession (you're an obsession, you're my obsession) but didn't realise who they were till we got there.

We ripped them off royally and they didn't realise. They even took us around the town and out for lunch for driving all that way before we got the train back (when we got hammered).

Yay?
