Who the hell would go for this?

Make sure you update the thread when you find out what he really got.

I like how they refer to the model as UHD 4k, when its clearly not


Says Model UHD-4K..Not resolution..They clearly know that putting buzz words on the product is the way to go

I had a guy approach me on Bluebonnet at a hotel I was staying in. He had a truck load of brand new generators. Wanted to make me a good deal. No thanks.

I'm betting that it has false connections. Did the box have a power cord? The lack of one was the first sign for my buddy when he took the thing out.

We didn't take the projector completely out of the box, but there was a power card in the accessories/instructions packet inside of the box. It probably doesn't even fit the projector

Just in case, don't hook it to any computer you care about.

Serious.

I'm just curious how old your buddy is. Maybe we can pinpoint it down to what minute that sucker was born.

My buddy did this one time and ended up with a box full of compressed newspaper instead of a video recorder.

How do people buy stuff like this? Just seems random that someone would go to an ATM to get some cash and make this purchase right there on the spot.
