Buying Used Dell Laptops, PCs and Servers on eBay - How to be
successful
Two years ago I needed a way to refresh more PC's and Laptops
at my company without spending more. New Dell laptops were great
but expensive and over the years we had accumulated many Latitude
C series parts. The C series ran from the CPX C600 C610 C400 and
C640 models before their new D line of Latitude laptops were
released. The docks, drives and many other parts are usable in
any of these models so we decided to take advantage of this and
purchase used Dell laptops. eBay was where we sourced these. Over
the years I've learned some valuable things about buying these
expensive items. Here are some tips and some recommendations of
sellers I've found to be very reliable.
Know what you are buying.
Don't just go by the model and specs of the machine. I'm
seeing two types of units out there. Those that are complete PC's
sold as used units. Also refurbished units that have no serial
number on the bottom or in the bios. These units can be had at
very good prices and so far I've found them all to be in great
condition. The problem is that without the serial you can't even
get tech support from Dell and obviously there isn't a warranty.
If you don't mind this from the right seller these are great. For
my use at my company it just isn't worth the appearance of a
model with no serial number. I'm passing on these for now.
Always pay using Pay Pal or some other service that lets you
use a credit card.
Even when you use a credit card on Paypal your covered by the
dispute and charge back protection provided by your credit card
company. I've had two instances where the seller did not ship my
laptop and I had to dispute the charge with my credit card
company. In both cases I received a credit back from my company
and had no trouble from Paypal. Before disputing open a formal
case with Paypal as they require that before you do a charge
back. I'm not sure what the consequences would be but better to
appear as if you are trying to use their system.
Buying regularly? Try to form a relationship with a couple
reputable sellers.
After doing business with a handful of sellers I trust I now
completely bypass eBay. The sellers love the money they save on
fees and I can often have them hunt down mint condition Latitude
laptops. Some will even customize the laptop to your specs.
Check the sellers feedback.
Look to see that the seller regularly sells Dell equipment.
This tells you two things. One that they are a reputable seller
and have a history of people who bought the exact same item and
were happy. The other thing is that if you see positive feedback
regarding non-similar equipment you can assume that they will
have no spare parts or service ability. If you see many sales of
similar Dell equipment you can be sure that if you have a problem
and notify them right away they will probably be able to fix your
laptop.
Ask about warranty or warranty transfer assistance.
If you are lucky the unit you purchase will come with some
warranty left from Dell. However Dell will not transfer the
warranty into your name unless you have the original owners name
and address. If you can find a seller willing to provide this you
just struck gold! Note, this is not common at all. You can still
get Dell to service an in warranty unit but they won't transfer
the ownership to your name.
Buying Servers? Look for Dell refurbished units with a
warranty.
I don't know how it works but there are many resellers of Dell
Servers that are new or refurbished from Dell. These come with
the Dell warranty and are transferable. When the server arrives
its in the original Dell box still sealed up. The price can't be
beat and I've never had a problem. My suspicion is that for those
with the right connections, Dell will sell you volumes of over
production and refurbished units far below pricing you'd see in
their Dell Outlet site. http://www.scsistuff.com is a great vendor for
this type of buy.
