becaurefull buying used pcs i got extremely lucky but i wont be lucky the next time.
bought a prebuilt PC on fb marketplace for $700 ( original price was $2700)
seller had everything with him, original box, reciept, even threw a mouse and keyboard for free. the sale and price was way too good to be true but i was too naive
i made a mistake of trusting him and didnt really check anything, the guy was way too nice and had all the relevant documments.
i went home and suddenly the pc wouldnt turn on, and i was blocked by the seller, according to the reciept the PC was over a year old and had no warranty left. now im out for $700 and have a dead pc that wont turn on.
decided to call the manefacturer for a fix estimate, but surprisingly the pc had extended warranty. they replaced my motherboard\ram for free but the pc still crashed alot while in use.
after a couple of months without my pc, a customer service manager called me and asked for my bank info, a week later my bank account was refunded with the whole orignal price of $2700 !
