The onus is on the buyer to make sure that everything is right to their satisfaction before buying it. If there is any doubt on your end, you should negotiate as part of the sale, a period where there is some sort of return... but if they say no, and you still buy... it is on you.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I agree with you about mis-representing, but that is a big call... You say it was someone on the list, and as I've said off-list, I don't know why anyone in good standing with the community would purposefully risk their standing buy ripping off someone else who is on the list... it just doesn't make sense.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The kit-sales list should be treated the same as eBay, gumtree, graysonline, <a href="http://carsales.com.au" target="_blank">carsales.com.au</a>, and hundreds more. If your purchase isn't what you expected - then ausnog is not responsible, just as all those sites or private sales.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Every time I have a customer who buys some second-hand Cisco equipment, there come an element of risk. If you buy off eBay, you deserve what you get - that is just a stupid situation waiting to happen. If you buy from a reburb company, you find one with a good reputation that provides you quality kit... but even they won't give you much more than a couple of months for most purchases... they do their due-diligence to a certain degree, but if it works when they test it, and send it to you (most will provide a printout of the test these days), and it is DoA - then... that is a problem. What happens if it was damaged in shipping and you didn't pay insurance? How is that the sellers fault?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Whenever we do have things arrive at our office when a customer has purchased something from somewhere... we test it ASAP, so we can see that it was actually working when it arrived. There have been situations (way too many in my opinion) recently where some refurb suppliers have sent dead kit - or kit that was even showing faults in their test... that is just sad... this is why when I am buying, I only deal with people I trust and who I know do good QA, and most importantly - IF something goes wrong, they will look after it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am sorry you didn't get what you expected in this purchase... but, and it sucks to hear it... who is really to blame here?</div><div><br></div><div>Personally, when I sell excess kit, I keep the money sitting in paypal till a week after they've received it... just in case I have to return it... but I also do good QA as well.</div>
