    I would disagree with the less than 100 percent bit.

    I would worry if someone did have 100 percent feedback, and large numbers.

    The reason being, its virtually impossible to please everyone, there will always be some nutter that will leave a neg with a comment like "perfect A+++" or neg you just for fun.

    Bad sellers can use ebay (and money) to get feedback removed, or put pressure on people to not leave negs. I always find 100 percent more suspicious than close to 100.
    That's why i said large numbers of sales. If it was 5 people and 100% feedback then that's easily manipulated. If it's 500 people and 100% feedback then i'm more inclined to trust them. If the latter is a scammer then they would have gotten at least 1 negative response by now.

    I think the problem I have is that the local freecycle is a rural area. If i were based somewhere like London, i bet there are loads of pc's being given away (and all sorts). Not just snotty nosed pundits who resent people for asking. If I can sell my 3 then I have some means to get something halfway decent, but I don't think there's any other altenative. Am I correct in assuming there are no forums here to sell?

    Cans omeone tell if if this this any good? Seems quite cheap for the specs, but I don't know the quality of the components. The seller seems reputable enough.
