So first off I would like to apologize for the length of this posting I just think it could be valuable for people. This post will describe how I found out the best way to get a good deal on a legit computer.A little over a year ago I was really interested in finding a Tablet computer. For those who don't know what this is, it is a computer that you can write on (basically a touch screen computer). You can say that it was a little out of my league because my budget was $450. I searched and searched and finally found one. During my search I found out that the sells that say "BUY IT NOW or BEST OFFER" are a really good idea sometimes to get a good deal. I found a HP tablet that was being sold for $650 for only $450. The thing is that it doesn't hurt to offer something low, but if you bid higher then you are probably just throwing away money.
Anyways, I actually didn't read to the description very well and kind of got screwed. Let me tell you how...I bought a computer that had the hard drive totally wiped clean. For those of you that don't know what that does it makes you have to re-install and re-integrate the computer. Good thing I had a buddy that had the re-installation disc so that could start the computer.
Re-installation Discs are usually sold for cheap like 20 bucks and sold by make like dell, gateway, hp, and so on. The reason why you can use this and not have to have the 350 dollar operating system is because most the computers have the operating system license on the computer. This means if it ever asks you for the license you have it to show that it is legit.
Knowing this made me start to think. There are a couple of ebay stores that sell good computers for way cheap. The stores are "2nd Turn" and " COWBOOM" both of which are legit stores that actually feed to one store, but they see computers that have been wiped clean and all you have to do is re-install the operating system such as vista home premium. (MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE YOU BID YOU LOOK TO SEE WHAT ALL IT COMES WITH). Sometimes it doesn't come with jack and the more you look and research the more you will learn. Make sure you find out from other sites and what not to make sure you are getting a good deal, but trust me I have gotten some great deal from them.
Also just so that your not in the dark about integrating and installing the drivers it is really easy too. All you do is go to the website for dell, gateway, etc., go to download drivers and find you computer and start downloading.
For people that have a lot of money this is not for you probably but for me I like to get the best deal and feel good that I know how to use my computer.
Sorry for such a long blog this time I just feel that this was very important to be thorough. Happy Ebaying guys.
