Well just over a year ago, I made a stupid mistake. I bought a computer on ebay and ended up getting royaly screwed. After waiting over a month a half my computer finally arrived, but it never worked. After trying various attempts to get my money back, the company went bankrupt and I got left out in the cold. Although I was pissed, I must admit, I was a niave eBayer at the time and made some mistakes, that led to this unfortunate result.
Today after unpacking some stuff, I found the old box again, and decided to take it up to my apartment. Needless to say it still doesn't work
Anyway, with some recent audio purchases (corda HA-1 + HD600), I'm looking for ways to get some funds to upgrade my source.
So I have a non working computer that I somehow want to sell. Although it doesn't work (it locks up on some PCI device listing with IRQs and such on boot-up), I figure this thing should could still be valueable to someone. I mean it does have an 1000 mHZ AMD processor, 512MB RAM, Geoforce 2 Video Card, 24x10x24 CDRW, and 80GB hard drive. But since I'm not computer "literate" I'm not sure if any parts are defective or there is just some configuration issues. So I'm looking for suggestions on what to do.
I guess one option is to sell it on eBay as a computer that doesn't work but may have some useful parts. I tried looking around for a place that buys used computers in Boston, but didn't get anyone willing to buy it. Anyway was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to get out of this awful mess I made for myself.
