| 426720 | 2006-02-03 00:22:00 | Hi There I have a question about an auction that i recently ran, where a bidder is requesting her money back but it was clearly stated that it is a AS IS sale, that i couldn't get it to go that one or both "may" go, bidder never asked questions about the problem, or asked before the auction finishes if they could have their money back if they were defunct ..... and it was never damaged in transit. She has said that both components are defunt and has stated that she will file a dispute with Trade Me. I would be greatful of any advice.... do people just not read. It really is CAVEAT EMPTOR. Has she got a leg to stand on? It was a private sale. see below: Abit BD-70G V1.0 P4 Motherboard (out of a compaq d380mx PC) I am auctioning this motherboard with a Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHZ Processor + heat sink n fan. So one or the other, or both may work. Can't seem to get this motherboard to work.... maybe there is something i'm missing. So this is an AS IS sale. You may just get a P4 1.8 CPU for a bargain price! Spec: Intel 845 Chipset Intel Extreme graphics (Onboard but has an AGP slot) ATX connector CPU power connector 3 PCI 1 AGP Slot 2 DDR RAM slots 2 IDE + 1 Flppy drive controller PS2 Mouse and Keyboard ports 1 Serial Port 1 Parallel Port 1 VGA 2 USB ports onboard Networking Game port 3 standard sound ports |

| 426721 | 2006-02-03 00:26:00 | As much as I think the buyer knew they were taking a punt and is now just sour,...why do people even sell broken gear on Trademe? And I would tell em to go ahead and lay a complaint, But then I wouldnt sell or buy broken gear in teh first place. |

| 426722 | 2006-02-03 00:28:00 | Trademe won't care. They have their fee which is all they care about. They may bother to tell the person to take it to the Disputes Tribunal but you did say it may not go.... | pctek (84) | ||
| 426723 | 2006-02-03 00:29:00 | Actually I do sell broken gear sometimes, for a gold coin. | Metla (12) | ||
| 426724 | 2006-02-03 00:32:00 | i did say it loud n clear.... i've sold one before like that and they've managed to get one part going. thinking that they may need a bit more knowledge than myself a CMOS reflashing or a soldering iron! LOL | sweetinnocence (7223) | ||
| 426725 | 2006-02-03 00:33:00 | Actually I do sell broken gear sometimes, for a gold coin. I Put it in at a $1 Reserve because i couldn't get it to go, stupid person! That's their stupidity...... the funny thing is, this is the first person that has sent me like an e-mail every few hrs since the auction closed, being a right pain in the A! LOL |

| 426726 | 2006-02-03 00:43:00 | $1 reserve? I cant see that you done anything wrong, based on whats in this thread whoever bought it is a tard. |

| 426727 | 2006-02-03 00:46:00 | i feel much better about it now, thanks people! i know that it will be my first bad feedback, i have 26 good ones. I can explain my way out, is always interesting reading feedback, and seeing some of the dumb ones buyers post that clearly don't read! LOL | sweetinnocence (7223) | ||
| 426728 | 2006-02-03 03:45:00 | This is the response that i received from my e-mail (my message followed by her message) . . . . . my message: Hi ***, You need to read the auction details again . . . . What does "As Is sale" mean? And I never said one or both work, i said "So one or the other, or both may work . " "MAY" I never said they did . . . . . Go ahead and call TradeMe, they won't help . You never asked questions in the auction, post feedback, i really don't mind, as i will respond to it . . . . is always interesting reading through peoples bad feedbacks, and seeing that some people, clearly, don't bother to read or ask questions . I did list it as a $1 Reserve because of what i stated in auction . Sorry lady, your loss This is the response i received from buyer . . . . By your response I can tell you knew it was defected on your auction it said 1 or both may work your wording was misleading and I tell what thanks for the retort as I will go in tomorrow and lodge a grievance against you will cost me $30 . 00 and you will have to appear in mediation which you wont be able to do and so I will win and you will be instructed to pay all cost and yes trade me will review your auction and the fact you have stated that one or the other or both may work is an indication of wether or not you mislead in your auction so this may be considered theft |

| 426729 | 2006-02-03 03:50:00 | But as with any auction or secondhand trade... caveat emptor Let the buyer beware. Also, how were you to know that it would fail then and there. |
