Buying My Old PC Back From a Scammer...

  • A while back I sold an old PC online and recently discovered it had been put up for sale again; though this time it seemed to be advertised slightly differently...
    Stated as featuring an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX graphics card, it sounds as though my old system has been put through quite the upgrade process, though it seems these specs weren't quite accurate.
    Thanks for watching :)

      To be fair, the "GTX 730" thing sounds like the seller has no clue about PC's themself. Its not too hard to imagine somebody getting "GT " and "GTX" mixed up if all they know about computers is brand names.
      Nvidia is pretty synonymous with GTX at this point, to some people it might as well be all the same thing.
      So I guess its a case of the blind leading the blind.

    I'm in the process of selling my collected PC/Hardware because I don't have the time/space for the hobby anymore... and I run into one scammer after another.
    1. People love to reserve stuff, sometimes even ask for multiple weeks... at least 9 out of 10 times, they'll never get back to you and if they do, they offer a different price.
    2. Somehow, about 50% of the items I send (more for GPU) seem to arrive defective, even when packaged in their original or comparable packaging. Oddly enough, the people claiming to have gotten defective stuff never manage to report it within a week in order to make use of the shipping insurance and instead ask me to refund part of the price without sending anything back or other shady things (like I wouldn't know of the option to replace your broken GPU with a working one from me...). Obviously I do take serial numbers and screenshots of benchmarks etc.
    3. A lot of people seem to just write everyone with a PC add and make hilarious offers (I've been offered less than 100€ for a PC with i5 3470, GTX960 2GB, 8GB RAM, 250GB HDD and Win 10) in hope to screw someone over... it's especially awesome when people try to talk down the PC I offer while at the same time having a weaker one for sale at a higher price. xD

      Yeah, I think I'm just going the route of giving away parts to friends or frying them on liquid nitrogen... That sounds way easier. Now the question is, do I curse someone with a Titan Xp collectors edition (Nvidia drivers suck), or do I fry it on LN2? I'm thinking it deserves the death sentence for a the crap drivers and non-existent support its seen. Nvidia owes me a good $800 in diagnostic labor charges plus a refund... They won't pay, so screw them. I think giving my friend an RX 470 would be much nicer, I don't want them stressing so much they loose a ton of hair and sleep like I did, its not worth it... The RX 470 is very capable anyways. Its just not worth my time selling things at sub $100... I could probably make $800 on the Titan like most are going for, but honestly I hate that piece of $hit more than any other hardware I've ever owned (including a GPU that blew up my dad's TV arcing electric out the HDMI that lit up the room. Also more than the first GPU I fried on sub-zero on a daily system that I actually cried over, I had to use a 10 year old ATI for almost a year since I couldn't afford anything else). The Titan has been the worst, so it deserves no less than to go up in flames on nitrogen and freeze to the death in the bitter cold...
      Do you get that I hate Nvidia? Its mostly that they treat customers like trash. I actually recently bought a laptop with a GTX 1070, but that's cause I can send it back to MSI if it has issues, they will probably be better than the scum I dealt with from Nvidia. However, I'm not mad my Radeon cards outweigh Nvidia about 6:1... (Die hard crossfire fan)

      10 year old ATI GPU? I keep going back to the HD4870 1GB whenever I happen to sell one of my other cards with a different PC or something... xD

It also had a backup utility (not a bad idea, don't know as that I'd use that one though). The one offender was Norton... Wow... That one is like "sunshine and daises... Wait what is that mushroom cloud in the distance? AHHHHHH!!!". But other than that monstrosity, I can actually only think of those 2 "bloatware apps", that were actually super useful.
      Nice! I was rocking the last pro series Terra-scale, its the 2 GB FireGL-V8650 (retail at $2,799 as the worlds most expensive card back then, and by far the most Vram). I had bought it brand new, mint in sealed box for a whopping $40 (shipping included)... Man how those things didn't hold value, its probably a collectors item, haha! 32 ECC GDDR4 Vram modules coating the entire card front and back for its 512-bit bus, full copper heat-sink with copper heat-pipes, a ridiculous jet engine (I mean fan, definitely a fan, though sound is debatable). Haha, its kind of a fun card, I had it overclocked ~25%, though due note the temps were insane, like 70c at idle and still pretty loud... Haha, fun for occasional use, but you'd probably lose your hearing if you used it all the time (I wore hearing protection when overclocking, it makes a loud vacuum cleaner sound like a kitten purring). But I will say, it also doubled as the coolest hand drier ever (I kept my computer by the sink, and man Furmark would dry your hands off so fast!). Its a pretty cool retro card, if I found a second for like $20, I'd totally get it for a thermo-nuclear crossfire Terra-scale build.

Doing an actual upgrade (that is cost effective along with being within scope of the machine's price range) and selling that machine for a profit to show what the seller could have done would be the ultimate form of revenge.

    This is a beautifully edited and fun video. What I really love is the thumbnail and beginning of the video. Man, I think it's funny how he sold this as a lie and from the same seller as before.
    Okay nobody has to read this, but if you want to hear a similar story.
    Same happened to me before. but not a complete lie. It was a honest mistake by the seller, cause I bought a PC with an ASUS Z68V-Pro motherboard with an i5-2500k, ASUS GTX 560ti video card(in fact I enjoy this card), an ASUS Essence STX II sound card(which I'll use eventually on a sound board), a very large ATX Corsair case, Corsair Vengence 4x4gb 1600mhz ram, a Corsair 250gb SSD, and a Corsair AX750watt Fully-Modular PSU(I have a ton of extra cords). All the items were a little dusty, but I took most the items into building my brother's editing/workstation pc. I gave my brother my ASUS Strix GTX 1070, i3-8350k(edits almost exactly like a Ryzen 3 1200 and is much better than a i3-8100 and at 4.0ghz at the start), GSkill 2x8gb 3600mhz ram, MSI SLI Plus motherboard, Enermax Air Cooler, and Seagate 3tb hard drive with Intel Optane. I know it's a lot, but I wanted him to have a much better computer for working and editing.
    Anywho, I wanted to keep the video card, cpu, ram, and motherboard from the seller for myself. Before purchasing, I asked the seller if the motherboard could possibly be overclocked. He was very friendly(and still is) and said he owned the computer for years. Yet, he never heard of overclocking before because somebody else put it together for him. So, I showed him some tutorials online and said this is how. He unknowingly and accidentally thought that the turbo boost was considered overclocking and told me it could.
    So, when I bought the computer for $200 and did the exchanges between my brother and my new one and do my usual build, I decided as a last step to overclock the processor. I discovered that the version of the motherboard he had was some kind of early version that honestly doesn't have an original ASUS bios for the motherboard. It was an Intel Z68 bios! I first contacted him honestly laughing to myself cause I wasn't angry but legitimately confused. He said that he thought that is what it was and that I could get a full refund. But, spending $200 on a computer with all other parts perfectly fine was completely okay with me keeping it, and I told him no refund. I eventually got in contact with ASUS employees, and they discovered that early builds used a tested bios before eventually settling on the ASUS Bios for the original chipset. It could've been mistakened as a selling product, or it could've work it's way into the used market by a previous employee. Either way, it was in my hands. And, I was an idiot cause curiosity got the better of me and I tried overclocking on it. Oh boy, immediately when I tried it crashed and suddenly stopped working altogether. I then took it to the ASUS employee, and he tried forcing an original bios onto it. By this point, I was more interested in seeing if it would work and honestly didn't care if it would brick. Which as it turned out, got bricked even more and killed the majority of the functions and a i3-2100 the employee had around. So, I'm still sitting on an i5-2500k and an interesting but completely dead motherboard that to me will go down as my most interesting experience ever in tech.
    Dang I talk too long. Sorry for anybody who read this. I just have had this on my mind for three months now ,and ,man, it was crazy but a fun experiment for me and that employee. It just seeing this video/story from RandomGamingInHD reminds me of my story. I love sharing it though cause of course I'm a single, stupid idiot that puts extremely long comments in the comment section. Honestly, I love the video. I love tech. And, this world is crazy when it's fun.

    I'm not entirely sure why you:
    a) Bought this PC back, knowing it was a scam
    b) Uploaded a video about it
    c) Didn't contact the seller (that you knew), and discussed it with them 1st
    If you actually wanted them to know this wasn't on, why not sort this out person to person, without dragging the world into?
    Kids are kids (you seemed to indicate this), but regardless of that, people are people. You had an opportunity to help someone correct their ways, but you choose instead, to promote your YT channel, and expose them publicly, without a response from them.
    I'm not sure who the scammer is here. I know that might sound harsh, and you seem like a decent person, however life tends to present us with mirrors. Just like me posting this. I could/should contact you directly with this message, and encourage you to reach out, and attempt to help/guide this person, rather than make a public post.
    Some people can't be helped, but why not try? THAT'S a video I'd rather watch, and that's the world I want to live in.
    Anyway, take care, and I wish you all the best with your channel. Again, you seem like a decent person. I'm not sure why I interpreted your video like this, I guess I've had enough experience with people to know that, good people do bad things, but it's the bad people who do good things you need to watch.

    We used to run those in the PC classes in a school I used to work at in Oxfordshire (Didcot).... 8 YEARS ago.... 8 YEARS!!!! Highly upgradable for their time but.... It WON'T run 'anything' mate. Well, anything from 2013 and before maybe.
