| 438966 | 2006-03-18 21:26:00 | You want a safety warning? I'll give you a safety warning: "Don't buy a pig in a poke." If picking goods up in person, always verify the seller's description. Are you going to take it back sparq? Cheers Billy 8-{) Poke = Sack. In older time travelling vendors would sell livestock prebundled in sacks for easy carrying. Sometimes the contents of the sack did not match the seller's description (the pig could be sick, or be a dog or any other suitably sized animal.) In modern language it means don't buy by description alone. |

Well someone might have some experience with this make and model of monitor and be able to help this poor guy, without everyone stabbing around in the dark. I know I can't help him. Trevor :) |

| 438968 | 2006-03-18 21:59:00 | I'm going to see if the guy still has the reciept. If he does, I'll try getting it fixed by AOC because they have a 3 year warranty on all their products (guessing that this isn't 3 years old). If he doesn't, or it is older than 3 years, and it costs a lot to fix, I will probably return it :annoyed: Sparq |

| 438969 | 2006-03-18 22:24:00 | Over the years, I've noticed that many people genuinely can't see or tell if their monitor is giving a poor picture. If they have owned it for a while, then deterioration creeps up on them and they don't notice, like a fuzzy out of focus screen. Then there are "budget" monitors that from new, often have poor convergence, and give some blotchiness on a white screen, many people never see that either. So when they come to sell, the monitor will be described as being in "good condition". So, my general advice, like Billy's is to never buy a monitor unseen, and never to buy from an auction or Trade Me without seeing the thing fired up first. BTW, Trev, I will acknowledge to being a smart arse from time to time when the mood takes me, but as American is not yet the official language, I refute being an ass :) |
