Buying Used Laptops.

[Celdwist]

Hello, I was asking the community if buying Laptops used, or with parts missing (to use your own parts) have gone well or bad with anyone. With some advice, because I saw a listing on Ebay for an old Lenovo Thinkpad x220 with no RAM or HDD, used..

I'm just wondering if anyone had any situations similar to this and had a bad experiences with it if you recommend it?

Thanks!

Huh, bad experiences? Just some people don't know what their doing.

yep but like i said ebay nearly always side with the buyer in these cases unless the item is clearly sold as faulty

but even then the buyer can argue that the fault isnt actually the one described and get a refund hell they can even return a different for example laptop than the one you posted them and you just cant prove it

dont get me wrong most ebayers are honest people but its just a easy target for unscrupulous people

mm hmm. Well a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad X220 goes around $150-$200 range. So I'd be saving around 50 to 100 dollars. The seller does accept returns.
If it were to not do the designed tasks, and the seller did not mention any other defects in the description, it is a guarantee return correct?

Ebay covers any returns when the item isn't as listed. In this case, if you ran into issues not stated not only would he have to accept the return but also pay for return shipping.
