Often times I'm not one to really care

通常我不太會在乎商品是不是全新的

If something is brand new as long as it still functions

只要它的功能和新的一樣

As well as, or close to something that is new

或是幾乎和新的一樣

One man's trash is another man's

一個人不要的東西是另一個人的…

Used, Trash.

用過的丟棄物

I know everyone worries about being scammed

我知道大家都很擔心被詐騙

Or attacked but honestly most of my experiences with buying used things from strangers ( :

或是受到傷害，但其實我大部分向陌生人買二手商品的經驗

Have gone pretty smoothly.

都很順利地進行

Except This One.

除了我要講的這次經驗

And another one that I'll save for another time

還有另一件事啦！但我要留到之後再說

I mean, If someone's trying to sell you a desk but they don't have any pictures of it

我的意思是，如果有人想要賣桌子，卻不放任何照片供你參考

Then

那麼，

I don't know? Don't risk it!

不知道耶？就別冒險了吧！

When I moved out from my parent's house, I left a Playstation 3 behind

當我搬離爸媽的房子時，我把 PS3 機台留在家中

Because it technically belonged to my sister.

因為嚴格上來說它屬於我的妹妹

But I owned a lot of the games

但在我身上

Which I brought with me

還是帶著滿多的遊戲片

And by the time I moved out the only PS3's for sale

而當我搬家的時候，唯一正在賣的 PS3 機台

Were used ones

是二手的商品

So I figured I check Kijiji

所以我決定要去 kijiji 看看

Which is an online classified ad service

一個線上分類廣告平台

Basically the Canadian version of Craig's List

基本上就是加拿大版的 Craig's List

Even though we have, also have Craig's List here

雖然我們也是可以用 Craig's List

But Kijiji is better.

但 kijiji 還是比較好用

I actually bought my wii the same way a few years earlier

事實上我就是以這種方式在幾年前買到了 wii 遊戲機

And the dude happened to be a fan

而賣家還剛好是我的粉絲

So I searched for playstation 3 and checked out what was available

所以我在 kijiji 上尋找販賣 PS3 遊戲機的買家

I came across one for $230 which came with 2 controllers and like over 20 games

我剛好看到了一組售價 230 美元的遊戲機台，外加兩個控制器和超過 20 片遊戲

Most of which where like Fifa 2011 to 2069... I don't know

大部分的遊戲片都是國際足盟大賽系列的…隨便啦

I don't really care much for them and so I thought I try haggling

我並沒有很在意那些遊戲片，所以我想我可以試試看殺價

Hi is this still available and if so could we negotiate on the price?

嗨，請問遊戲機組還有在賣嗎？價錢可議嗎？

I'll think about it

讓我想想

How does 200 sound?

200 元美金如何呢？

215

215 元

Mh ok. I'll wait a bit

嗯，好吧，我要再考慮

And then I tried the third party tactic

接著我利用第三方策略

Hm well I'm looking at another seller and they're giving theirs for 200

嗯，其實我正在考慮另一個買家，他們開價 200 美元

Which was actually true, but they didn't have an extra controller and not over 20 games

這樣的買家不是我瞎掰的，只是他沒有外加控制器和超過 20 片的遊戲片

That's why I'm trying to haggle for this one

而這就是為什麼我要那麼努力殺價了

200 is good

200 美元可以接受

Ho ho ho ho ho - gottem!

齁、齁、齁、齁、齁，成功了！

Awesome!

太棒了！

Actually I changed my mind $225

其實我後悔了，我要 225 美元

What the hell, how did you go from $230 to $215 to my negotiated price of $200 and then.. back higher to $225?

搞什麼東西啊？你的開價怎麼會從 230 降到 215，再被我說服到 200 美元，然後又回到更高的 225 美元？

This person did not know how to haggle

這傢伙不懂真正的殺價

Unless..

除非…

He saw through my bluff

他看穿了我的計謀

*gasp*

*深吸一口氣*

But either way that counter offer didn't make sense

但不管怎樣，這樣的價錢絕不合理

No deal.

這樣的交易不算數

Alright nevermind

算了，當我沒提

OK

好的

So I continued looking at other ads and offers and then about an hour later

所以我繼續再找其他的賣家，而在一小時後

He messages me again

他又私訊我了

You sure $215 isn't good?

你確定不要 215 美元嗎？

Wha..

什麼？

OK at this point I'm thinking he might be getting a little desperate, so I continued to play hard-to-get

好吧，我猜他現在已經開始急了。所以我繼續「欲擒故縱」

No

不要

OK I'll do $200 if you pick it up today

好吧，只要你今天可以取貨，就以 200 元成交

What is going on.. okay... I thought I was definitely dealing with a kid.

現在是怎樣…好吧…我想我正在跟小孩子進行交易

But hey, we finally agreed on a price.

但至少我們終於在價錢上有共識了

Alright where can I meet you?

好吧，那我可以去哪找你？

248 Shimmer Street

Shimmer 街 248 號

When can you come?

你什麼時候能到？

eeh Is 9 ok?

咦，九點可以嗎？

A bit earlier maybe 8?

可以早一點嗎？大概 8 點？

OK see you then.

好啊，到時見

OK

好的

Do you want to see it working?

你想要親自確認遊戲機可不可以用嗎？

Yeah sure

當然好啊！

So I head there later that night and 248 Shimmer street actually has two apartment buildings

所以當天晚上我前往赴約，發現 Shimmer 街 248 號其實有兩棟不同的建築

A and B

A 棟和 B 棟

I texted him and asked which one it is

我傳訊息問他是哪一棟建築物？

Uh... it should be A

呃…應該是 A 棟吧？

should be?

應該？

SHOULD BE?

「應該」？

I don't want to know what your building should be as if it's dependant on unknown factors

我不想知道你的家「應該」的位置，好像這是個不確定的資訊

I need to know your definitive location, so I can safely make this transaction

我要知道確切的位置，才能安全地完成這次交易呀！

I was getting a bit nervous

我開始感到一點緊張了

A part of me thought I was getting get mugged, but then thought this

我開始有點覺得我被騙了。但之後又覺得

probably is just a kid who is just not responsible enough to know his own address

可能只是一個不負責任的屁孩，不知道自己家的地址

I go inside building A

我走進 A 棟大樓

I texted him saying I'm at the ground floor

傳簡訊跟他說我在一樓

and he replies that he's on his way down

他回應我說他正在下樓

5 minutes past.. nothing

五分鐘過後…沒看到半個人

After 10 minutes I get a text

十分鐘後我收到他的訊息

I don't see you?

我沒看到你耶？

This dumbass.. I don't see him either meaning he is probably in building B

這白癡…我也沒看到他代表他應該是在 B 棟大樓

So I head on over and go inside

所以我改去 B 棟大樓裡面

I.. I still don't see him

我…還是沒看到他

And I'm expecting that kidney extracting shank in my body any second now

感覺我的隨時會被抓走，腎臟被摘下去拿來賣

I'm in building B I don't see you either...

我在 B 棟大樓也沒有看到你耶…

no I'm in A

不，我在 A 大樓

W-What?

什…什麼？

Was I blind? Was he blind?

是我瞎了？還是他眼睛有問題？

Where are my kidneys.. OK still there.

我的腎呢…呼，幸好還在。

I head back to building A

我又回到 A 棟大樓

OK I'm here

好了，我到了

I don't get a reply but after 5 minutes of waiting, he finally appears

我沒得到任何回覆，直到五分鐘後他才終於出現

It's a middle aged man

一個中年男子

I'm gonna die.

我完蛋了

Are you Cain with the PS3?

你是要賣 PS3 遊戲機的 Cain 嗎？

Yes yes. We will head upstairs to test it.

是的。我們可以走上樓來進行測試。

I reluctantly followed. We get to his apartment and he opens the door

我只好跟著他走。我們走到了他的公寓，他打開房門

Inside is a kid setting up the PS3

發現裡面有一個小孩在裝設 PS3

Cain, hurry up

Cain，快點！

Wha.. huh? I thought you were Cain? But you're also Ca..

什…什麼？我以為你是 Cain，但你也是 Cain？

My-My kidneys

我…我的腎

Kid-Cain finally set up the PS3, tries to turn it on.. nothing happens

小 Cain 終於把 PS3 架設好了，再把它啟動…但什麼事都沒發生

He tries again.. still nothing

他再試一次…還是沒畫面

Big Cain, which i assume to be his dad started getting a little irritated

大 Cain，我猜是他爸，開始感到有點煩躁了

I thought you said it worked, what's going on?

我記得你說過這遊戲機還可以用啊？發生什麼事了？

Dude that's my line

那是我要說的吧！

The tension was THIC with only one c because that's all that could fit

當時的氣氛很沉重 (THICK)，但只剩一個 C，沒有 K，因為當時沉重到

With the amount of tension in the room

只有那樣的字母數可以存在於這樣的氣氛

Kid-Cain shuffles around behind the TV

小 Cain 在電視機後方晃來晃去

Tries one more time

再試了一次

And it finally works

終於開始運作了

Both he and I let out a relieved sigh

我和小 Cain 鬆了一口氣

Honestly at this point, I didn't even care if it worked

事實上，當時我根本不在意遊戲機到底會不會運作

I just wanted to get out alive

我只想要安全地離開這裡

In ONE piece

全身「完整地」離開

I said, cool

我說：「很棒。」

Kid Cain packs up the ps3

小 Cain 開始整理 PS3 遊戲機

Puts it in a bag

放到包中

And hands it over to me

再拿給我

I hand him the 200 dollars that we agreed upon, and hope papa Cain was also aware of and approved

我付給他 200 元，我們協議好的金額，希望他爸可以注意到並且同意

His dad takes it from him, counts it, then nods

他爸把錢拿去，數了一遍，再點頭

Okay, thank you

好了，謝謝你

Yeah you're we-

不客氣…

Uh hee um pth uhh tsk-

呃…嗯…謝…

Thanks!

謝謝！

And I leave

然後我就離開了

ALIVE

我還活著

*Breathing rapidly and casually strolling backwards while getting the heck out of that place*

*急促地呼吸再緩慢地倒退離開這個地方*

Relieved kermit's face

放鬆的柯米蛙的臉

Worth it :)

這值得了
