Scalping is definitely not a moral thing to do but there is no way you think that he should have his life threatened over reselling a GPU. Like, what? You are talking about scalpers as if they are pedophiles or rapists
Remember boiss always being strapped when striking for a deal, either selling or buying you gotta stay strap this world ain't easy difficulty some people have hardcore set on
Yooii yes it's an exact copy of a younger kids shorts content but with computers instead of cooking.... do you know his name? His voice also seems to be copied from Lisa or Lysa Wong. Same exact tone, tempo, and inflection as her extremely popular videos.
ALWAYS do deal like in a public place were is a lot of people around. No way to know if they really live there or not. If they are going to rob you they are going to give you a fake address.
I wouldn’t have met him “outside his place.” He could have been from anywhere and just chose that place to meet. I always choose a public place with people around. In my area, there’s a police head quarters with a place in the parking lot that is meant to do safe exchanges of goods and cash.
