And he got to keep my iMac that was working and probably robbed parts to make him have a good machine. I did say that before I took the machine apart, and did send them a message after the fact with an update.įortunately they did side with me and I was able to keep this asshole’s $80, although ebay also gave that asshole back $80 out of ebay’s pocket. I did not receive a complete return of all items included in the listing.” My item was also returned without the power cable, keyboard, and mouse that were shipped as part of the purchase. When the item was returned to me the iMac was in worse shape than when the buyer took a photo when he received the item. “The buyer had returned the item in a poor fashion, with little care to prevent the item damage from getting worse. I returned to ebay and told them my side of the case, about how this individual is returning machines without everything included in the listing, item being returned to me in worse shape, not even receiving the same item, etc. However, I am pretty sure the power supply in this “new” iMac is tore up as it would not power on at all.
#SPOTIFY FOR MAC PPC SERIAL NUMBER#
So I now get the idea to power it on and see what the serial number is, and if that actually worked I would be able to confirm that it wasn’t my machine 110% at that point. The only reason I even have photos of this is because I was planning on writing a post on this iMac and took photos, I just never made a post until now.īut Taliesin Graff, you will not win you robbing POS. So he must have swapped disc drives so I can have a crappy one and he can have my nice one, but returned the iMac with my hard drive to make it appear less suspicious. On AugI swapped the original Apple disc drive (dated March 2002) for this Philips DVD burner (dated September 2005) to find the drive in this iMac is from December of 2001. I see something that throws me off immediately and 100% confirms that this was not my machine. This “new” iMac had that residue all over inside. I had torn down my iMac to the same extent years ago and there was no sign of it being in a smokers home ever. The RAM, metal bottom cover, and my 320GB WD hard drive. I tear it down to find that the guy was smart enough to swap three things over. With that said I started to disassemble the machine to find what mysteries would unfold. I am talking to a friend of mine and he told me straight up that this is not the same machine you shipped to this guy. When I get this machine I find it in the original box I used to ship it, yet Taliesin did not use the inserts properly the same way I did to protect the machine and below are the pictures of how I uncovered this iMac at the bottom of the box. It took several days for Taliesin to even ship a computer back to me. I proceed to make a UPS shipping label and send this label to him within half an hour of a notification on my phone telling me that they wanted a return. No fragile or this side up warnings were provided. Product was very poorly packaged, with zero attempt to prevent damage when carrier oriented box differently than seller expected. “Entire rear assembly of monitor is damaged beyond repair.
He could have been telling the truth or he could have been lying.
Taliesin proceeds to open up an ebay case saying that the display was damaged due to a broken neck on the iMac. I shipped the machine to him making sure that everything was protected, including styrofoam inserts to keep the screen from moving around and smashing into the base to make sure the iMac arrived unharmed. I sell this machine to a guy named Taliesin Graff (tgra2152) of Tempe, Arizona. The concept is the same!Įarlier in the month of May, I listed my iMac G4 15″ 800MHz model on ebay (I have had this machine for well over three years and no problems) for $60 and an additional $20 for shipping, making the cost of this iMac a total of $80. This is my warning to everyone out there, doesn’t matter if you are selling a PowerBook G4 or a Chevy truck door. Some will try to take advantage of you and put the blame on you. This is a learning lesson to everyone out there, beware of buyers on ebay.
