Heh...similar stuff used to happen w/ me, and "friends" buying PC's.

They would ask the same questions, it this a good deal, what kind of hard drive do I need, shoudl I get a DVD burner, etc...

I would always tell them, feel free to look around, but talk to me BEFORE you buy anything...nobody listens.  Both driends and family, have bought no-name crap, used PC's for way too much, and most have overpaid, for a system that is way more than what they ever need.

But...., I now change them about $150 / hour (more than I charge most customers) to fix their crap.  Now I tell them that if they don't talk with me before buying it, don't expect me to fix it.....for free... ;D

Gotta luv 'em... :banghead:

MameMaster, did you simply look at it and then make your offer or did you point out all the flaws? Really helps to itemize the problems before low-balling a delusional seller like that.

actually my wife got mad am me I didn't point out that the thing was not only NOT "mint" but it was a mess.....

....I didn't feel like getting into it w/the owner. If they "thought" it was mint, in the condition it was in,.....I knew I would not change their minds by what I had to say.

@ PCTech - I know whatcha mean, most family/friends seem to ignore everything I say cept the 2 cents they think they need to do something. I ain't flappin them gums to hear the sounds! This one friend, swear I have to repeat something 3-4 times before he gets the idea that its important and he should remember it. I HATE that.

And there is NO way family would let me charge them anything, much less $150/hour. Some "friends" even think they deserve it like I'm under waranty and say stuff like - "you mess anything up and you're in trouble". Thats a stabbing offence right there. Thats the way to get charity - keep complaining.
