ethical question regarding selling PC parts...

Ok.. so my PSU just blew my mobo for sure. Now I have several ram sticks and a cpu that I cannot test in any system but I was already planning on selling.

Should I just put them up for sale with a promise of refund on DOA? In other words, sell em regular style, but paypal back the $$ if the person claims they do not work?
 
Note to self: Don't make any purchases from LordSegan on the FS/FT forum for the next two months. 😉

I think if you were up front regarding the possibility that the parts would not work, people would be sure to scam you. If I were you, I'd get with a friend and use their PC to test the parts to ensure they work. Even if you were willing to provide a full refund, you'd still be out your time for processing the payment and shipping the goods to the buyer.

Just my .02

 
Sell them in FS/T and explain the situation. If you deal with people with decent Heat they aren't likely to scam you. Maybe offer to refund price plus half shipping if anything is DOA?

What about a full refund but they have to ship it back to me. That way, they don't get to keep the part and say oh, yea it doesnt work.. he he he
 
Or, you could recount the circumstances and sell them "as-is" with no express or implied warrenty of merchantability (translation: say "who the heck knows if they'll work or not. you're taking a risk by buying the product.") That would be fair to both sides -- you'd be guaranteed to get rid of them (albeit at a lower price than what you could get if you did offer the warrenty) and someone else might get some RAM on the cheap.

The question is, "do you like to live dangerously?" 😉
 
People with decent Heat & reputations are not likely to scam you.

You decide the level of risk that you wish to take and how to structure it for the buyer.
