I was going to ignore this thread, but figured I should clear up a little of the slant.

It was 5000 + 15%, 5750. SOS had paid back 4000. The guy that loaned him the money was still waiting on 1750. During the time that he still owed money he asked for another loan for a motorcycle (approx $10k). The guy I got the domains from said no.

He then got the money from someone else and got the bike anyways. SOS then missed the deadline for repayment because he couldnt afford to pay the guy back. That is when I got involved. It should be mentioned that the "paper holder" did not sell the domains to me right away, but rather a couple months later after he tired of the "checks in the mail" it will be there "next week" and other excuses that we all saw posted leading up to this debacle.

Nice twist to the story though.

I think the moral of the story is, just because you are 19 does not mean that you already know it all, and when people with more experience offer you advice, you should probably stop and listen.

Also, if you play with fire, you could get burned, as shown by the fact that someone who could care less about the real value of the domains might be willing to purchase them at an inflated price just to get rid of you.
