Have to agree---it's a pretty silly generalisation. I've been Ebaying
now for some years with no problems. My experience is that people
don't sell faulty things directly; if they believe it's faulty they
take it to Cash Convertors so they don't have to cop the flack when
you come back complaining. But that's not to say Cash Convertors is
all faulty stuff either; just that you need to bear the above in mind.
In any case they give a 30 day guarantee.

Mostly wrong. There are any number of reasons why people sell things,
of which faults is but one. People's requirements change. They just
crave something different. If they still like something and it goes
faulty, they get it fixed. Methinks this poster has had some very
unfortunate buying experiences indeed.

See above. More life experience or more imagination required here.

The mere fact that the second hand market is burgeoning gives the lie
to all this. And long may it live as far as I'm concerned.
