That chintzy bastard screwed me over!


By Blackwalt - Posted on 15 October 2007

Yes we all knew that Q-Bert/Jehreg was a cheap bastard before but now we have fully documented proof.

We all know about my Xbox 360 win and the negotiations/bidding war/extortion involved in setting the firm price of $165.05.

Well when it all came down to it, knowing that it was the additional $.05 that put him over the top, Q-Bert/Jehreg cheaped out! Finishing off the payment with a U.S. nickel!!

U.S.!!! Like it was worth anything!

Cheapskate! Worse than Coxxorz...

On the date of the close of the Auction Sept 19 the exchange rate was

19 Sep 2007 0.99 US dollars (noon) 0.9855 (1.0147)

So at that point in time the US nickle was worth more then 5 cents. I really think its just a matter of Blackwalt procrastinating. Not that he'd ever do that.

I guess signing in and posting the same thing gave it away.

On the date of the sale the exchange rate was

19 Sep 2007 0.99 US dollars (noon) 0.9855 (1.0147)

So if Q-Bert had paid it on the date of the close of the Auction, he would have been ahead.

Let's see... 0.05 US / 1.02701 = 0.0486850176726614176093708922016

So, I owe you : 0.0013149823273385848239062910779837 CDN

I just phoned the bank to see if they could give me some change .... they just hung up.

You could just give him a couple U.S. pennies...
