    If the seller has a 100% feedback rating, I'd probably be stupid enough to buy anything from him/her.

    Go knock yourself out. *nods*

    Does nobody read the law anymore?

    DIstnace buying laws allow you a cooling off period of something like 30 days, so if you don't like it or it doesn't work you can send it back for a full refund. Also if you pay by credit card your also insured upto £1000.

    The final one of course is the Consumer Goods act, if the indivdual sells several they are acting like a company and therefore have to sell goods that are fit for the perpose, work and in good condition.

    So UK law pritty much covers your back if you have any major trouble

    Edit: Just make sure you buy it from a UK indivdual or company and my Dell computer was under £500 and is pritty decent, remember knocking off the Dell garentee reduces the price by over £200

    Depends. If I already had a good computer, no. My computer isn't the best computer, cause it's pretty old, but it's not that bad yet.
