First thing first McMayor called me around 7:30pm before posting the issue here, i didnt even know you and he didnt mention any name but i told him not to call anyone out that we can iron the issue behind closed doors. I just told him i would call him back in an hour time that i cant talk much in the office. Unfortunately, i didnt leave the office till 10:15pm and that was when i saw that he already posted the issue, i called him immediately and he told me what transpired, when i got home i saw that you have replied also. Its a 3-man issue, i've only heard from 2, then i messaged Lionlee and he said his own side hence i came up with my conclusion. So i didnt hear from 2 people, i took your words here as your own part of the story.

Picker itted responsibility of not picking exactly same IMEI as what you sent him, thats fine but the reality is that both IMEIs are not same. As such, picker told you to return the phone to Omic and he would replace it with an iPhone 7 Plus 32GB, on the condition that its not wiped, i have the VN Lionlee sent to you. But this is what i think, you believe so much in the IMEI the seller gave you, couple with the high profit you've made on the phone, as such you never ed the information to McMayor at the appropriate time, instead you kept reassuring him the phone doesnt have iCloud (bro,thats greed). Your assurance prompted McMayor to wipe/restore the phone, note that very well. So you dont have to tell him in written words or voice call before he can do that.

I am surprised at your consistent and unnecessary "greed" tag you're pasting on the guy, leave sentiments and treat the issue as plain as it is.
McMayor didn't get what he paid for and He deserves a refund.
Picker didn't pick what he was asked to pick and even went further to confirm that he picked the right item.
So he merely acted with full certainty about what he sold due to the fact that the imei he was given was clean and also the picker confirmed it that he picked that exact phone. You're being unnecessarily harsh on him especially considering that the full fault lies with the picker.
The only issue I may not agree to is the fact that he is tying McMayor to the picker even though they may be indirectly connected.

Bro he can come here to drag the picker, but he should first of all refund the seller

But i strongly feel both the Deal hunter and picker knows what's up about the bad deal, the buyer just played into their hands

Sure He has to refund McMayor but I don't think the picker did it deliberately, the mixup of imei could be a honest mistake.

@dragnet and all, Yes the fault was mine, I itted the fault. I got to the pickup location and noticed the guy looked scary even though it was a McDonald. So I had to cram the last three digits of the imei and that was how I got messed up but I never knew until the phone got to Nigeria.

Anytime I Bleep up, I quickly reach out to Omiet/frinx/Wildchild1 to ask for opinions since we always talk about personal life. Omiet advised the iphone 8plus to be returned to him without being wiped and immediately, I told Omio about it only for me to hear from Omiet that the phone has been wiped.

At the point of discovering the phone has an icloud, I never expected the phone to be wiped cos we all know it will go straight to activation lock, hence the reason I declined my earlier offer of iphone 7+ which i am still declining.

I will not do a refund and end up with an activation locked phone. Thats my own stand.

simply put

Na You get time to reply him. Some people will never cease to amaze me with their reasoning. When i hear stuffs coming out from a man making decision based on their own "feelings" and not "facts", i cant help but wonder how they control their home when they become a family man or heading a particular group

Its pathetic

omio4real:



Bro you are right locked is risk in buying,that more reason I ask lionlee to confirm the given imei to the 1 on sim tray,beside this not fist time lionlee will pick lock phone me ,BT for this I think he trust the seller by not confirmed, if you mind I have evidence both his voice note and writing.

Hello sir, refund the buyer, come here and drag the picker, it is clear that this is between u and the picker.

Sort out the buyer, since u claim the IMEI u gave to picker is different from the IMEI on the SIM tray, both of u have a case to settle

Dragging the buyer into this is totally unfair, it doesn't make sense

U will absorb the picker if u keep dragging the buyer along, sort the buyer out and table ur case with the picker, that is the way to go

Any more advice

Jefferyzz:
Hi guys, i want your advice on this matter

I asked a friend to epp me order a gaming pc for offer up with nvidia 1050ti gpu, he saw 1 dell inspiron 15 7567 1050ti, after he told me, i did some digging n found out the pc is of 3 varieties. i5 1050, i5 1050ti and i7 1050ti, which i told him. He told me the buyer said its 1050ti n i went ahead to pay 205k given the fact that 1050ti is 25% efficient that 1050. The pc took 6weeks to get to lagos which is way too long. The PC got here and i notice its i5 1050 from the picture he sent to me. Abeg guys wey sabi pc wella. Is this i5 1050 a good deal for 205k, because he said, i will have to wait till he sell the pc for 205k before he can refund me. Some1, somedays ago posted this same 1050 dell for 170k which got me furious but that was after i paid him. So is dell inspiron 15 7567 1050 for 205k a good deal or not

The PC is 4gig dedicated

Well said

Nothing wey Musa no go see for gate

I've said it before, greed won't take some of you anywhere.

After listening to all parties, omio4real you would be the only one to bear the full cost of the refund. I spoke to McMayor and Lionlee behind the camera to get full gist and from all angles, it's very clear the seller played a very fast on you by changing Sim tray that has the original IMEI. You can't blame picker, he did what you asked him to do.

To the issue of wipe or not, from the screenshot shared by Mayor, you kept assuring him that iCloud is not locked meaning he can go ahead and wipe/restore the phone so that code can be removed and he can gain access to confirm what you've been assuring him. you don't have to put that in writing, it's common sense.

And the reality is that, if Mayor doesn't wipe, we won't be able to know the true state of phone as the original IMEI can only be viewed on the phone itself not what you have on the Sim tray.

You said something about you waiting for the matter to be brought here before you can refund him, that's not a sensible thing to say, no offense. We are adults here, all matter should not get to the public before we apply common sense. The reality now is that you would refund McMayor in full and at the same time loose clients, whatever reputation you have is now dented because you want your dirty linen in the public when you could have solved this behind the camera (you've lost both cash and old/potential customers).

This should serve as a lesson to all, always avoid issues that can be settled privately to be made public, trust me it does more harm than good especially if you're at fault.

Some already have a family though

mixter:
Time to refund mcmayor. I don’t expect omio4real to be arguing this out. If it was omio, I bet he would not agree to what he is saying. Bros refund, you are ruining your reputation that is if it has not been ruined already as anyone who wants to deal with you now will have second thoughts. Do the needful and start repairing all the broken pieces that’s left.

Actually he has not ruin his reputation, he only reveal how people should do business with him, the only thing is that, if someone like me is to buy deal from him in future, if deal is not as d, i won't hear let us try to fix it , it is small issue, lie lie, it will be 100% refund

Bcus if deal go South he will change tori

McMayor:
In a nutshell, it’s more like I paid for a complete iPhone 8plus iCloud free & factory unlocked but all I got was sim stray.

Hahahahaha u bought SIM tray for 120k. I love this country

Deal hunter do the needful

omio4real:



pickers fault,,is just that we all playing inmaturity and all started from picker

Settle buyer, face picker, if u can't face picker alone employ the service of ur fellow deal hunter to u.

That is the right thing to do Sir

McMayor:
Phone actual imei

Which means picker didn't check the IMEI given to Him by the deal hunter

Deal hunter settle buyer and face picker

Thanks to everyone’s comment. I am still yet to hear from Omio4real concerning my refund. I hope this can be done timely so we can move on.

My friend you are not making any sense at all.. you are sounding like u r a novice in tech biz. So it’s not yet obvious to u dat d seller played a fast one on u? U gave picker imei dat seller gave u which he got from sim tray dat he swapped on the phone and picker can only confirm imei via sim tray in dis case cos it’s locked which I believe he did. Now ur buyer started updating u of events right from when he received the phone and u were confidently assuring him that there’s no cause for alarm that it’s just code locked and nothing else. He still told you that the person he gave it to unlock the code told him that with the display on the screen that the phone is iCloud locked and you were still standing ur ground dat it’s just code locked. Now tell us here, what magic would Mcmayor have performed to get that phone activated to menu mode without restoring/wiping the phone? Secondly; how will he get the code off the screen? Ask urself this 2 questions and give us d answers here. I personally bought one iPhone X from OfferUp and Mikky was the picker, seller told me it’s code locked and gave me imei from the sim tray, when phone arrived I saw same thing as displayed on this ur 8plus on mine and I went ahead to wipe it when my guy told me it has iCloud I doubted it and told him to go ahead and wipe it then it dawned on me it’s iCloud locked truly I sold the phone as parts and lost some money on it but I didn’t even picker to ask him why he picked it. Why? Because he picked up what I told him and imei matched.
So in dis case bro d only option u have now is to fully refund mcmayor. Peace...

REFRENCE TO ABOVE STATEMENTS

if you want me to accept full responsibility of refund ,,why do chat to 2person alone while you know 3person is involved, ,now you said is not picker fault,I told picker the phone as code lock then I gave the given imei number from seller to him to confirm to the one on phone through sim tray ,after picking I ask did confirm he said yes. now listen had he be the imei I give him was same with the sim tray imei,that's another case but the given imei was different,,,but the sim tray imei was same with the on phone ,,,so here picker pick different imei from the one given ,,how is it my fault and both imei still 8plus plz reason with this very well

To Mayormc I never instruct him to wipe phone ,when he pick the phone after lock code was remove he send me a pics of lost phone then he tagged Icloud lock and no icloud lock on the phone because am checking through the given imei without knowing then that picker pick wrong phone ,,then Mayormc claim to know about iPhone very when he saw that why did he wipe I could very well he told when he got to office next day he let me know to my surprise he as wipe it off ,the wipe up issue came up from lionlee that why did he wipe ,,that mayormc should return back to how he was pick ,so why shifting blame on me alone ,I can't bear the refund alone mayormc know too well I never for a day have misunderstanding with him ,I do avoid such to happen but the picker worse it all . first he accept to refund us with phone a 7plus and I told my Bro let accept that ,to forget the issue but later he refused, he insist mayomc have to return the phone to normal state. again why mayormc didn't compared the imei before all this wipe off.

omio4real:


Bro,,you told am amateur on this biz,fine accept,, but why you restore the phone said by picker? when you know it will come this way? .that's the question picker ask you. picker ready to settle so far you can return the phone to normal state when you pick it

Don't play this game, really don't play this game this way, u know what this means right?

After u read this from the supposed picker, it will depend on the deal hunter to bear the full cost of the loss, until the deal hunter comes to that realisation, i guess u just have to be patient

Mr picker if u all want to follow fact the buyer by now should have gotten his full refund

Do u know what is pathetic? Allowing the buyer to bear the full burnt for an error/mistake he did not commit, that is what is pathetic
