My Uncle in Nepal wants MacBook Air

Got off with my uncle on phone this morning. He is very good with his heart but his conservation skills never improved. The 1st conversation was why I didn't pick up the phone call at 4:30 in the morning and then he make this weird request: He wants a bigger (more than 13") Mac Book Air with i7 core, over 500 GB solid state and fastest RAM as possible. First thing I said, well that is affordable; now I come back and check it on online apple store - that thing is freaking $1749.00. What is wrong with people in Nepal? P.S. My Uncle is a well off man in Nepal and the MacBook Air would totally suit him. He even offered that he would pay me back for this but I said NO. I am in IT, joined a month ago and I haven't even received my first month pay check. I surely could afford to buy that stupid shit right now or put it on credit but if I loose my current position (ya'll know how things are in IT nowadays) I have to start working in a Gas Station on weekends from next month. Am I in deep shit trouble? I just had to take it off my system and put it out there...any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Interesting topic , ill put my few cents... This happened to me several times. Many relatives asking me for phones, tablets, cameras etc. In my case, especially its my little cousins and other small kids. Once I remember, I sent an iphone to my cousin brother (he was around 15 years old that time). I sent him an used but good condition iphone 4 , ( there was already iphone 5 out). So instead of appreciating what he got, he was sad that I sent him an old iphone. If somebody had given me a simple phone when I was in school, that would meant the biggest thing to me). I had my first phone only after my +2. Going back to the topic: 1. why doesnt your uncle buy it in Nepal itself, if he said he can pay for it. recently you can buy all apple products in Kathmandu, heard theres authentic showroom just opened. 2. Even if you sent it paying thousands of dollar, people in Nepal dont appreciate the value of the product, they think its very cheap here and doesnt realize how much $1700 meant here. 3. if he is planning to gift it to somebody else, then its even worse idea to send it. 4. i personally think that, instead of making other excuses, you should just let him know about your financial situation.

hurray brother: I wasn't over-reacting. We had good things going over here; only your comments were out of the context. What you did was: you generalize all the Nepalese people and how they live their life in drama based on simple fact that I mentioned I couldn't say NO to my Uncle on my first conversation. That was an attempt of character assassination from your part and please don't do that again. helpjava11 brother, thanks for your constructive comments. For now, I got my Uncle off my back.. hooked him up with one of my buddy in Hindustan. Hopefully, he will find a decent deals there. You wont understand, I have such a big family and they all want something. This morning. I have received a request for an unlocked iPhone 6.. that thing is not even out on market yet. bokaman--> don't you think that Apple sould get into Adult industry, then you could send a iDidlo to your aunt in Nepal and you could control it through your iPhone remotely... that expensive iDidlo would totally make her feel good...you know what I am saying...Just a thought.

Show middle finger to the one asking unlocked iphone 6.....My cousion brother kept on asking me for iphone 5 when i was unemployed, i did not send him that but kept on sending him nice perfumes and all i could afford, he was still not happy. When my parents needed him while they were in need, he left them saying he needs to go watch FIFA world cup. Those fuckers are not getting anything ...............from now on..haha

Are you Santa Clause or what? You should have accepted the payback. What if another uncle wants something else? And on and on.
