Sold PC on ebay. Decent PC with legit windows 7 installed complete with licence sticker.
Young lad pays by paypal and collect. Next day hes texting me - replaced graphics card and it doesnt work now. So I try to help him out because Im thinking either he doesnt know what hes doing or hes knackered something.
Then I get text, actually my wife went mad I bought it can I return it? Im thinking FFS cant be arsed, put it all back as it was and bring it back. I'll check it and if its ok then you can have paypal refund.
Over the last two days now I've found out
1. Hes upgraded it to windows 8.1. (No mate, I cant sell it with unlicenced software on - put it back).
2. He scraped off the windows 7 licence sticker and chucked it. (Nice one mate - now I cant prove its genuine).
So its becoming obvious, hes taken it apart had no idea what hes doing, stuck a new graphics card in it, upgraded it, cant get it working and now expects me to take it back as it is. Must admit at the back of my mind I'm wondering if hes screwed it up fitting new gpu.
Despite me asking he hasnt commented yet on what happens when to puts original card back in.
Tell you what there are some right bellends out there. I aint argos and I dont have a 14 day exchange policy. I'm not a complete tosser and would have taken it back but to think you can rip it to pieces install what you want then get a refund it beyond.
Latest just text me now. Hes lost the licence sticker and cant get windows 7 installed on it. Can he bring it back and I sort it?
Yeh right mate. I'll spend an hour of my time getting it back to how it was! And anyway I didnt note the licence key down and you've lost it now!
