Sorry after reading everything I would take tsg_7 side. You are buying a faulty item (and described as such) and as such a gamble on whether you could fix it or not. IF tsg_7 did not mentioned it was faulty in the first place and priced it according to a working gpu then yes he is scamming.

Furthermore I agree that when you decided to disassemble the graphic card (competent or not) then its entirely your own risk already. There is no hardware manufacturer that will accept a return after manual disassembly.

That said, shame on you tsg_7 if you already knew it was faulty in the first place. But in the interest of seller rights, I am taking his side.

Dude, that is already a big warning sign the item is faulty in some ways and the description is apt for someone with no tech knowledge.

Any potential buyer should be probing tsg prior to the sale for more information and whether a test is possible before finalizing the deal. There is always a risk in buying used items, whats more a known faulty one.

You are a tech repair person, so you should know better in weighing the benefits vs risk in buying a faulty item, in your case, you took a gamble, and lost.

So in my opinion, tsg is dishonest but not wrong.

And again, I reiterate what I said earlier - There is no hardware manufacturer that will accept a return after manual disassembly. Unless both of you came to an agreement prior to that, you already lost your case when you decided to fix it by yourself. I am sure that is included your warranty clause too since you are doing tech repair services.

Personally I would just accept loss, because your case is really really flimsy even if you take it to tribunal court or whatever.

I am not on tsg side, I am fighting for seller's right, just don't want this case to set a precedence in the future. No hard feelings and prejudice.

Rofl you are unbelievable. If you think that is considered patronizing why even bother opening a thread in a forum of public opinion?

Or you just want only supporters and not critics?

Lmao, I wish you luck then in getting back the money. But I do hope you won't abuse your mod privilege in getting a dispute tag to tsg when both of you is at fault here.

You have problem in comprehension?

I said I hope you won't abuse your power.

And since when I contradicted myself?

Both of you is at fault here:

You - being a greedy idiot who tried to make bank on a cheap faulty item thinking it can be fixed without proper research which you know can be avoided in the first place had you take proper precautions. And yes I am now patronizing you.
Him - being a dishonest seller

You lost your case when you decided to open that gpu up yourself. Period.

Man up and stop crying like a little baby when shit don't go your way. You can take this to the tribunal and see how they laugh your ass out of the court.

What a manchild for a mod with intricate napoleon complex

You are right, it did show the true nature of you yourself

I am not the one who lost rm 150 for nothing, and nothing more to be said to a bawling manchild. So last reply here.

P/s quote properly next time, 2003 member and a mod but still can't do proper forum quoting. I had brain aneurysm from reading your replies.
