Description

The listing, Computer tower, No OS, Boots to linux disk has ended.

I am giving a computer tower. It was used by a government office before they switched out their systems to newer ones. The hard drive was wiped, and so has no operating system on it. But it boots perfectly with a linux mint distro disk in it. I can supply it if requested. Tower has 3.2GHz Pentium D processor, 80GB hard drive and 2GB RAM. Comes with power supply cord.

Questions & Comments

If it WASN'T a scam you would except a prepaid shipping label. ESPECIALLY from someone with his rating.

ok, so we're doing this. No, it's not a scam. If you don't want to buy it, don't bid in it. the reason i don't accept prepaid garbage from him, his reputation notwithstanding, is because i was scammed out of several thousand real dollars in the past. the FBI (yes, the real one) brought me in for questioning for fear that I was in on the whole sordid business. but since i was innocent, and had irrefutable proof that i had no dealings with the scammer, they dropped me from the investigation. since then, it may limit the options others have from me, but i never accept any sort of alternative funding methods suggested by potential bidders. it's a cruddy way to view the world, but i see every single human as a potential scammer, just waiting to stick a knife in my back and empty my accounts. is it likely? no, but it keeps me from getting scammed. i don't care how good a reputation a person has, i don't care how many medals of honor they have, i don't care how many people love them. it can all be fake, inflated, all for a long-con. not your cup of tea? there's the door, nobody forced you to want this item, or anything else i might put up for offer. i'm not trying to be difficult to work with, i'm just protecting myself from loss any way i can. again, you don't like it? there's the door. don't let it hit you on the way out.

will you take a pre-paid usps postage paid shipping label for shipping, it will come with tracking as well. i'll send you all label's to ship, all you would need to do is peel stick and ship ?

this tower will not fit in a flat-rate box. it has to go in a custom box. I will buy the postage at the post office when the winner paypal's me the money for shipping. if it costs more to ship (US) i will cover the difference. if it costs less to ship, i will refund the remainder. but sending me the prepaid label makes me nervous. not that you would, but i have been scammed before by others. so i play it safe.

umm i know this thats why i was asking you if you would take a prepaid shipping label cause i have a stamps.com account you tell me the exact price i print it out on to a sticky label and then mail it to you, and i would also like to know the shipping price for Priority mail express, trust me i can cover it, i would guess it would run about 140.00 to ship if not a little more, i don't do paypal thats why i was asking.

and get yourself verified it helps out alot and it's real simple to do.

To verify your address, this is what you do: Click on the little blue button next to your name on the right top of page,
Click on MY LISTIA, then on the left side of page that pops up,
Scroll down until you come to ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click on
SAVED SHIPPING ADDRESSES and fill out your address and save it. You should now see a green check mark with the word VERIFIED next to it. That is how you save your address. After you do this, then every time you win an auction, you click where it indicates above the auction page (it gives you a choice to send your address, or not, if you don't need to, in the case you win a recipe for example), pick the right choice, then your address should pop up, then you click on the button next to your address to verify it and send to the seller. That is verifying your address. Hope you understood these steps.. Here is the link to go straight to the SAVED SHIPPING ADDRESSES: http://www.listia.com/account/addresses

This is such a scam

Apr 6th, 2014 at 5:18:07 PM PDT by

how is this a scam exactly? I have the item, I am selling the item. therefore not a scam, by definition. It's exactly as I described it, no OS, but will boot up with a linux distro disc in it. all specs are correct. comes as a tower with a power cord only, no other items outside it, all components inside it as described.

Does it lag at all or maybe not get good internet connection. Because my school has the same computers and they run somewhat slow.

i bought a bulk lot of these towers from my county government offices in an auction. the hard drives were already wiped when i got them. I literally booted them to linux mint to make sure they would boot, and that's all. I didn't test them with any other connections because of the number of towers i bought. I don't know how they behave other than booting to the linux DVD. the processors in the lot varied, but the 3.2GHz is the fastest in the group.
