Why To Be Mindful Of Ebay/Craigslist
I know everyone loves to save money, but I want to warn you against buying electronics on eBay or Craigslist, and no it’s not for the normal reasons either. Most people will warn you of being scamming you, or getting broken electronics and while those reasons hold true, the biggest reason is you do not get technical support. I get called frequently for help for all sort of electronics that people bought from eBay and don’t know how to use, don’t know who to call, and are at the wits end. I normally will try to spend some time to help them out and figure it out, unfortunately by the time the systems is figured out, it would have been cheaper, better, and quicker to have bought those electronics from a trusted source.
