An old safe sold online for around R$500 came as a big surprise to the buyer, who found the equivalent of R$125,000 in dollar bills. The case occurred in United States of Americain the US state of Tennessee.
Dissatisfied that he didn’t have the combination to the dusty safe he found, James Labrecque decided to sell the item online. What he didn’t expect was that the buyer, who opened the safe with “brutal force,” discovered a commodity amount of money in there.
Upset that he asked for the money, after much email discussion, Labrecque even asked for a portion of the money to be refunded. The buyer, who was not named, refused to “return” the money, even using a phrase from James to keep the money: “What you see is what you get, no returns and no refunds.”
“I made a mistake, you know. In short, that’s it. And that cost me dearly. I shook the safe and felt nothing inside. So I thought, well, maybe it’s just a locked safe,” James told WMCTV. According to the broadcaster, the buyer had the help of a welder to open the safe.
“I said to my friend, ‘I won the ‘Dumbest Alive’ award the other day, you know?
Finally, the buyer went to the platform ebaywhere the purchase was made and left a positive review for James, thanking him for selling the safe.
