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
