i told em what was wrong with it, i made sure they knew it was faulty

Yeah, I know you're an honest guy...

How much did you end up getting for it?

[clarky3429]

about 50$ less than what i bought it for (i sold a CPU with it [athlonxp 2600+]) so i did pretty well

[ShadowFox]

ummm typically used stuff expecially FAULTY used stuff doesn't normally bring a break even value lol

[RedInferno]

Sadly no...

That's when false advertising comes in handy....

[ShadowFox]

heh "NIB" it's all just a lie

[RedInferno]

Yeah....You'd think ebay would screen those dishonest people.

[ShadowFox]

... you can't really do that, you can't keep people from it... it's against the law.

[clarky3429]

yeah, but they have to think of a way of making the postage REQUIRED to be entered when selling something, and have it more visible

[Visentinel]

the postage cost is in the same cell as the item cost, how can it be more visible ?

[ShadowFox]

see some people like to put the postage in with the item they jsut take a portin of the cost out and then ship it... they are just too lazy or mathematically challenged to put down a flat rate or something, jsut because they are ignorant, they shouldn't be screened.

Besides that laptop I tried to buy DID have shipping and everything... it looked legit.

Yeah, what you said LOL

The only real issue I've seen is that when waking up from sleep mode, there is a "Machine Check Error" that relates to how x64 utilizes the ACPI features of my system (this is a notebook, not a desktop). Other than giving me that error, it does nothing to affect the performance of the system, but it is something that neither the newest AMD processor driver nor any of the x64 updates has even addressed so far.

Machine check error?

Describe, please.

[tntoak]

That's the actual error message. When the system wakes up from sleep mode, an error dialog pops up from the system tray stating that a "machine check error has occurred" It gives no further information, but if you check the event log, it it linked to powering the system back on.

If it didn't pop up the baloon help with the message, you'd never know anything happened.

That's weird...I'll google it..
