Seller Beware!
– via Elite Daily –
James Labrecque sold the old safe on on the online auctioning website for $122.93. Mr Labrecque, an eBay user for more than 15 years, said he did not have the combination to the safe and thought it was empty so he sold it on. Mr Labrecque lives in California and the person who bought the safe lives in Bartlett. Once it had been delivered, the buyer took the safe to a welder, who cut it open, supposedly revealing $26,000 in cash. The buyer gave Mr Labrecque a positive review and shared the news with him. But in a heated e-mail exchange with the buyer, Mr Labrecque provided to Action News 5, he asked for the buyer for a cut of the cash.
The buyer declined, citing Mr Labrecque’s seller policy that states, ‘What you see is what you get, no returns, and no money back.’
But Mr Labrecque said this is different and that it was ‘life-changing money.
Workers at a Chase bank branch in Huntington, New York discovered a stash of counterfeit cash worth $112,000 after they mistakenly opened a safety deposit box, the New York Daily News reported.
A mix up over keys caused the discovery, but the actual owner has yet to be charged.
