PCs on Ebay

RichardD1970

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations when buying a PC from Ebay, not auctions but the businesses that sell new stuff.

The ones I have looked at all have good feed back and seem to be significantly cheaper that other sources.

:beer:

You'll probably get what you pay for. It will probably be better value than PC World and like them will offer poor/no after sales service.

I'm sure that many would take umbrage to that statement.

My nephew and a few of his friends have all bought PCs from this particular seller, without any problems (AFAIK).

I'm not recommending them, or saying they are the best value.
Just that if you order from them you are likely to get what it says in the listings.
(most come without an OS)

Bought my PC on eBay about 6 years ago, still going strong and still plenty good enough for my needs. Cost me £300. Similar PC at the time from PC World was £1,000+

No idea how good the support (or lack of) is, as I've never had to use it.

The were one of the ones I was looking at and I prefer no OS as standard as I can stipulate what I want and not be lumbered with Windows 8 :eek:

happysmithy, I don't think there is a problem posting links as long as your not advertising or acting as a company representative.

Bought mine from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/millenium-computers?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

Can see they still use the same case for most of their PCs.
