Hi Barbara.
Unfortunately, I don't know who the Moderator of the
Re-cycle list is. I had thought it was Graham and had
written to him, seeking his advice and support. Perhaps
he will get in touch with me if I write a general enquiry
to the list.
No chance of taking a private case for the sake of 225. I trust lawyers
even less than dodgy list members, though
I actually do have all my correspondence, and on one of
these, the seller advises that he will include a legal
copy of XP Home with the computer for the price we later
agreed upon.
I have since earlier mail, written to him, threatening to
take this to the authorities, if he does not at least
hounour his agreement to include a legal copy of xp home.
So Barbara I need to wait and see what comes out of this.
Fingers crossed.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

I am sure the list moderator will take a very dim view
of this as he will not want people ripping off others on
the list. A note to us all I believe. However, Andy, if
you have copies of Emails from selling saying what he
was selling you and you did not receive the goods you
purchased, then even though it was a private sale, I
believe you can still seek legal redress. Probably a
costly business unfortunately.

Hi all.
Thanks everyone for all your advice.
I've not yet contacted the seller as there is another
on-going issue which has not yet been resolved. The
computer I purchased from him for £150, required an
engineer to take it apart and reload all the drivers
and OS. The computer arrived at my address in a
cardboard box with no packaging. When I opened the box,
the right side panel was off and I could not find any
screws. The computer continuously crashed during
boot-up. The engineer said that everything inside was
filthy and most of the connections were slack. The
hard drive was hanging off and the computer required
to be cleaned, taken apart, tested and software
reinstalled. He charged me £ 70. So I paid £225 for a
home made xp home computer which was a few years old. I
felt that although I had been conned, there was no way,
that I'd get my money back from a re-cycle it list
member. I was for this. reason prepared to bite the
bullet and take it. However, this new thing about
counterfeit operating system has just sickened me. I
got Pauline to look at the CD and the package and she
says that both are blank. Neither is a Microsoft
product, so unfortunately, the chances are that I was
also sold an illegal copy of XP home. Microsoft advise
that this problem can be resolved for £99, which would
bring the cost of my second hand xp home computer,
which incidentally, is home built, up to £324. Am I
going crazy or what?
I have written to Graham, rather than the seller, to
give him a chance to offer to pay for the OS. If I
contact the seller directly, , I'll just end up loosing
my temper.
Very best wishes.
Andy
