I don't see the problem, surely, even in this PC sensitive age, a chunt should be allowed to call a chunt a chunt
Particularly when the chunt calling the chunt a chunt is such a massive chunt of epic proportions every chunt below him is a chunt. Seems fair enough. Bit of a chunty thing to do but he's a chunt so who cares.
They may be stupid but I fail to see how the C word applies. The person acting badly in this situation is the one ripping off the vulnerable uneducated people to turn a profit at their expense.

it`s not my job to educate them
there are plenty of morons on ebay , it would be a full time job to educate them all.
They are happy to accept my offers and ebay terms so i don`t see an issue
you may want to look at the banking/property business for real exploitation

Completely agree, it's rude, arrogant and shows who here is devoid of business ethics. I wonder if he treats his contracting clients the same.

YMMV but it's a standard trick, sell an item that is beyond reasonable repair. Advertise it as having some fault that would be easy to fix, but (I can't be bothered with the hassle || I've got a new model now || I never used it much anyway) sell as spares only, no returns.
Buyer gets it, realises it's a more complex job, the cycle starts again..
i buy bust machines as a hobby , i try to buy 3-4 a week and look for a £80 to £100 markup on each one
1st rule never buy from someone who repairs them
2nd always get auction seller to accept a price i offered as a buy it now
3rd never buy one that has a duff system board.
this particular one i got them to send the serial number to me so i could do a warranty check on it to see how much is left with HP
will send it off to HP and they will replace it Foc
