I recently sold a macbook on ebay and now there are accusations that I was misleading the buyer. Anyone mac savvy care to chime in here? Tell me if I am in the wrong or if this buyer is just trying to get a sweet deal.
The full (completed) e-bay sale is linked below for reference.
This is a 2008 white macbook that got hit with a cup of coffee and was being sold "as is" for "parts/repair"
I stated (entirely honestly):
"I plugged the laptop in today (with no RAM or hard drive installed) and powered it on, the fans ran and there was a lovely BEEEP that emanated from the speakers at a regular interval (probably trying to indicate that I had forgotten the hard drive). So that's nice. "
The buyer claims:
"This laptop spins up the fan and HD but there is NO sound or video whatsoever. Yes, when no ram is installed a laptop will make that "beep"sound BUT it also implies
that if good ram is installed and the board is cleaned thoroughly it, most likely, will boot up. This is not the case here."
Was I implying any of those things that the buyer claims?
Any advice help or further questions would be appreciated.
