Thanks Beetch... he is asking me to take it as I m bad luck, he will not pay me a single cent, thats why i m here to notify everyone to avoid buying from fariq_azad.

I am not siding him just because i am one of the seller or i (seriously) do not agree with your action that you can actually smear his threads or posts.

When i read your post, i have nothing say about it. You tested it and you miss the check for this defect, you have to bear the consequence as you are suffering now.

You wanna buy 2nd hand stuff, have to do a lot of homework to get good stock. I also suffer the same issue for handphone dealing, but i do not actually smear that seller around just because i feel that i have right to do so.

Hmmm... Does that means I got to sit at McDonalds with him for 12 hours to check on the charging process?

That one i am also not sure. But i can confirm tell you is that i am also furious about the seller actually since he asked me to tell him if there are any defects about my phone that i am gonna trade with him and i never know about his phone condition. I usually learn it as a lesson for this kind of problem.

However, i have to say that i never suffer such a very material(big) kind of damage that cost so much to repair, but i guess the concept is still the same. I also sell phones with known issue, but i let my potential buyer know about it.

What if i did not know about it? If i know that it is reasonably no doubt that it is my fault, i will gladly refund it and settle it. In most of the case however, it is hard to proof that.

Just like you have no hard proof that he know about this issue since he claim that he only got it a few days before selling you coz i did saw my phone traded earlier with the seller went on sale in lowyat.net after 6 days of trading. You also cannot proof that you are 100% sure that you did not ACCIDENTALLY damage it. So, i have no idea about this dispute.

But your action about smearing him like that is something i do not agree. That is why i responded in this thread.

FYI, I did call the seller on the night itself when i found out that the charging charge a few second and stops, I did ask why is it so slow, is it faulty? He says this laptop charge it slowly is normal, meaning he knows the charging got some problem on it, and the charger is a new compatible charger as i can see, meaning the charger just burst recently. And again I did ask where he bought the charger from maybe i can go to claim for warranty, he keep on say I don't know, I don't care. So what should I do, I m reminding everyone not to buy from him because he is an irresponsible seller. I do not hope to see anyone fall trap to this. I m pretty sure he know the problem and giving me all kinda stupid excuse. My technician told me the laptop suppose to full charge in within an hour. So what you think?

In that case, it is his problem that he did not wanted to entertain people properly. Based on my experience, i have not saw any laptop that can fully charge within an hour like that to be that exact.

In your case, i think that relevant solution is to ask him to subsidize partial of the repair cost. That's it.

no offense to anyone, but in online trading i my opinion is :

people only sell things when the item is going to/already damage, common sense

Not all of them are like this. Some of them wish to change handphones and wanna reduce the losses by trading into the shop which usually offer lesser than the online trading price.

People have the rights to check the item they are receiving during the COD. If think not good, just cancel the deal. Even in this case, it is between trader doing sales here. How on earth he is supposed to know that this unit is gonna give this kind of problem like that. doh.gif

After reading all this from page 1  sweat.gif  i came to a conclusion that selling and buying 2ndhand gadgets are not a good thing. Sure, u can make a quick rm100 per item sold but the reliabilty is VERY LOW. the seller is quite lucky to have no problem at all for 6 years. But again, i strongly belive that warranty MUST be included as the price is not simply rm90 or rm100, bt its more than rm500! Imagine losing rm500 just like that!

I am basically a supplier so i know all these problems. I specifically ask my distributor for their service centre and office, coz i don't want any problems when items are faulty ( SURE will someday got faulty items, no doubt!) , my customers can send the item to the service centre.  brows.gif

And having a LOT OF CUSTOMERS is a HEADACHE! I prefer becoming a supplier where i only got 20-30 resellers where i know them very well and they also know me very well. This is important because long-term customers are more 'relax' and willing to solve things peacefully whenever things gone awfully wrong.  rclxms.gif

As for the seller, u really have to understand the risk of selling 2ndhand items and u MUST provide personal warranty, at least for 3 days full money back guarantee. U cannot simply save urself ALONE while letting ur customer get eaten by a shark mad.gif  he is a BUYER and of course he doesn't know anything about the item. its OUR job to tell him!

As for the buyer, I really feel sorry for u but I STRONGLY DISAGREE with this thread, where u keep repeating irresponsible seller almost every post. Be professional, don't destroy his business out of anger. Like other people are saying, work out with the seller see if he wants to cooperate or not about the loss u have beared. I guess simply saying that the seller is irresponsible ONCE is enough, no need to repeat until 10-20 times.

Phew, i guess this is my longest post  tongue.gif  but i really hope that both parties can settle things peacefully. And for sellers out there, be a supplier if u don't want all this mess. Less people to worry about and you will have a strong relationship with ur resellers biggrin.gif

If don't know how to check, that is what you would end up with.
