Hi, Im selling a Tiger DVD that i bought from a guy on this site. Apparently it only works on G5 Powermacs. I have a powerbook. He wont respond to my emails so im just going to try and sell it. If anyone wants it im hoping for 50 but I will pretty much take anything for it (willing to trade for something of equal value). Make an offer and the best one I get in the next 3 days will get it unless someone says they'll pay 50 for it, then I will just sell to that buyer.

It must not be a full retail Tiger DVD, but a PM G5 restore DVD. Is it?

duh

A "RETAIL" Tiger DVD will work on any mac. Restore disks will NOT, and are
not really worth that much, unless you somehow aquired a G5 without any disks or damaged the one you did have.........

If you used PayPal, file a buyer protection guarantee complaint with the seller. Odds are you will see your $ come flying straight back to you.

If you used a credit card, file a chargeback. That will get PayPal going on his ass.

I filed a complaint because he didnt ship it out at first. This got him to ship it out. But I stupidly cancelled the complaint before trying the software. After finding out that the dvd wouldnt work on my machine I tried to complain again but paypal said I couldnt do that.

$35 Shipped.

Bullsh*t........contact paypal again and demand to speak to someone in management. If he mis-represented the disc as a Full Retail version when it was in fact an OEM restore disc, then he has committed a FELONY (Fraud), and if he used the US Postal Service to send it, then a 2nd FELONY charge of Mail Fraud may also apply.

I would also contact the BBB, the Consumer Affairs dept, and the Attorney General for the state where he lives........get all your evidence together and git dat mutha !

As you probably guessed by now:
homey don't play dat ,
and you shouldn't either!
