PSP deal turns sour, dissatisfied buyer nabs seller

Don't sell your crappy PSP to this guy - Image 1


The trouble with selling stuff in one of those meet-up exchanges is that you'll never know for certain who you're dealing with. For all you know, you might be dealing with the customer from hell. In this case, he was from American Fork, Utah. His name is Jose Eduardo Espinosa-Arellano and he bought a PSP from a 17-year-old. When it didn't work as advertised, he did what every rational individual would do - take the kid for a ride.

Hopefully, you got the sarcasm on that one, but that's exactly what Arellano did. After taking the PSP home and having a go with it, he went back to his underage seller complaining that the PSP wasn't working right. Unfortunately for Arellano, the 17-year-old did not have a money back guarantee, even after he demanded his money back. Whatever the teen's reason was, apparently, Arellano didn't like it.

Arellano then told his PSP seller, "Let's go for a ride." All those "Just Say No" PSAs when you were little should've at least taught you one important lesson: Don't get into the effing car. Maybe this teen didn't see any of them. Saying he was trying to control the situation, he got into the car anyway, in which Arellano took him 20 miles up the road to Salt Lake City.

When Arellano refused to let him out, the teen SMS'ed his brother through the entire drive, telling him where they were headed. The brother then contacted Highway Patrol to help look for them.

When they exited the interstate and stopped at a red light, the teen got out of the car and ran for it. "The suspect made comments to him were very concerning to the victim," a law enforcement spokesman said. "He felt like he was in grave danger, and that's the reason he jumped out of the car."

So now, Arellano was arrested and taken into custody, where he could be facing charges for kidnapping. And no, he probably didn't check our PSP Forums to see what was wrong his secondhand PSP.

He's 17 years old, agreeing to meet a stranger for a SECOND time, or maybe he had the seller meet him at his house, which is also stupid.. Being a minor is no excuse, 17 years old is old enough to make wise decisions.

# what the...sickofitall 2009-08-25 04:16
the guy literally just took him for a ride! I thought something else happened. I agree they both don't sound to bright, but that's what happened when you sell a faulty product.

is the guy who bought the PSP. Who wouldn't try the damn thing out? And then driving the kid 20 miles away... dumbass. Yeah the 17 old should never have gotten near the car, but there's a reason Jose is going to do time on this.

The 17 year old seller was an idiot for trying to rip some one off - got what he deserved (a scare apparently), and the buyer was a moron for not checking it out first and also for making a huge deal out of his own dumb mistake. Hope they both learned their lessons.

# Yeah...Arliman 2009-08-25 14:56
that's probably what the kid wanted to play... since he couldn't, he had to act it out. This makes the kids parents idiots too. Wow, so many idiots.

I live in A.F. It's not that surprising that someone from A.F. would just "take him for a ride." Not much bad stuff really happens here and most of the people here just don't have it in them (obviously there's a few scumbags just like everywhere else--just not as many). He probably just meant to freak him out and maybe abandon him in Salt Lake, letting him find his own way home as some sort of "lesson." How he thought that it was a good idea or didn't think to stop the kid from texting is beyond me.
