    I don't understand the point of this. How is it a scam if the buyer didn't get anything out of it?

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    The buyer costs the seller two cases of shipping- to and from.

    But, Sledge forced the buyer to return the item. If he didn't, the buyer would have a $300 computer.

    By the way, I saw photos of the PC. In my professional opinion, I don't see how the damages present could be anything other than the result of tampering.

    So 2 weeks ago I had a $300 piece of equipment and sold it. I then had $300 in my Paypal account, right now I have $0, Minus $40 in shipping fees, Minus another $40 for the 3rd Party Assessment and a scrap computer. Feeling like I got pretty scammed on my end!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
