I don't really know too much about em, so hope it is what it says it is, but Gra said it had good spec and everyone is raving about P4 chips so I thought new would cost about a hundred more than that for same spec

C.UNT

Sent him a mial last night after winning auction to ask for address and when I can come pick it up and he sends me this back just now;

I think there is a problem.

Ebay said that is was never sold so I have sold it privately today to someone I work with.

Many thanks


So back to fucking searching for a new PC

Sniper = wait till last second and try to outbid...

I know he sold it to me, you know it, everyone knows it, don't change the fact tho that he reckons he sold it to a mate at work tho does it Basically he decided not to put a reserve on it, and since it didn't make what he hoped he don't want to let it go... If you read between the lines

How do you report to ebay for this type of thing? I know how to report for non payers, but not non sellers

Saying that there's no point really - STILL trying to reclaim costs from 2 CD's I auctioned over 3mths ago

By ebay's terms and conditions, it is your property, so you can contact e-bay with regards to the transaction, not a bad price for it considering they are £359 from Dell. If you want the complete spec of what you are buying go to http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/pr...n&s=dhs&~ck=mn and check out the technical specification. Computer boffs will be able to explain it in detail.

I asked a fella in comet if I could take the side of the case of one of their demo pc's and check the amount of pci cards, weather it had an agp slot or not and firstly he had no idea what i was talking about, and secondly said it was against company policy, hence why I build my own.

matt send him an email saying hes talkijng bollocks and tell him he doesnt have a foot to stand on, tell him youll give him a week to sort out getting you the goods or you'll come down and take them (or similar items) with your mates if he doesnt sort it out..

that way if he CAN give it to you, he will... if it is sold to a mate i bet he'll be asking the mate to give the PC back...

make sure you make it clear you DO have his home address...

James - tried but no joy....

Ginge - not taking the risk pal. Had such a hassle last time I tried to reclaim funds thru paypal I ain't doing it again if I don't have to and no guarantee I'll get the address anyway....

Just sent him a mail which went something like this;

He said;

I'm really sorry about this, as I have had this on there 4 times already and it never sold I didn't think it did this time. blah blah blah....

I said;

Hmmm.... Well anyway I contacted ebay about it and they say legally, it is mine, and that you are in breach of contract. THey said you have to reclaim the item and complete the transaction as per the agreement you had with ebay, other wise I have to fill in a bunch of forms which a) I don't wanna do and b) the end result is you will get banned from ebay. THey have also sent me your address, so soon as you have got it back then let me know when to come over and collect. Thanks!

If you go to pay by cheque ebay gives you the address anyway.

Goto PAY and just follow on from there.

Yeah been looking at the refrubished ones mate, but have to find one that is cheaper as they don't come with monitors or other peripherals (mouse, keyboard speakers etc) so if I can find one £50-£60 less then I will be able to get those other bits off ebay or such and stay within my budget
