I bought a phone off of Craigslist from a guy named Alex. His ad stated "brand new in box" so, not wanting to muck up the packaging, I didn't open the box til I got home. Turns out there was no packaging, and several of the accessories were missing. The phone was not new -- it was worn, damaged, and not working.
Buyer Beware is the motto for Craigslist users, and I knew I had no recourse other than to ask for a refund and hope that Alex had a shred of decency. I lucked out. He refunded my money, and in doing so, restored my fragile faith in humanity. At least for the time being. Thanks, Alex.
Yet, what does it say about our society when someone becomes a hero just for doing the right thing?
