He's selling it as not working ..... FFS .... it doesn't matter if it
is or isn't!!

If you get it working, it may be because you tried something he didn't.

But he's selling it as not working regardless.
If you buy it, you have NO comeback.

Stop acting like a total plank!!!

how else is a plank supposed to act ? :-/

Yeah but if BIOS/POST corruption is there I think it should of been
mentioned in the description because it is pretty bad and very obvious - but
I do not think my seller has seen this becuase I believe he would not of put
it on eBay had this been the case - he does not come across as that kinda
person.

My feedback will be positive unless I really feel the item should really
have been thrown in the dustbin then I might leave a neutral based on the
fact it is sold as faulty.

If you
haven't worked it out by now you need to understand that you have
fundamental problems with communication and social skills - this may not be
your fault but you should try to find some way to manage these problems
rather than reinforcing them by engaging in these long pointlessly
argumentative and incoherent debates on usenet.

Firstly nothings concrete yet I can`t confirm one way or the other -
if the screen corruption problem is there and is there at POST I
will leave negative feedback for omitting this rather important fact
from the auction description

IT DOESN'T ****ING WELL WORK! How can you honestly leave negative
feedback if it doesn't work when he has said as much.

My God. You are the most unbelivably idiotic imbecile I have ever come
across. If you were a child of mine I'd be embarrassed to admit it.

On the other hand, if it *does* work, Nick will probably want to leave neg
feedback as it wasn't faulty "as advertised".


If it works we both win - he got good money for it £ 38 and I get a working
card - if it doesn`t work and I feel it is so obvious as to why and that it
should have been thrown in the dustbin I will leave a neutral at worst. The
drivers not loading is something I am interested into finding out the cause
of - he says he cannot guarantee that it will be recognised in any other
computer but I feel this was posted due to pressure from a barrage of
questions from prospective bidders.

It sounds like he saw you coming.

So I say again , what has changed since the time you placed the bid?

Mainly my knowledge of this particular model of the card and the likelyhood
of it being just being a driver installation problem which from the
description it would appear to be (ignoring the words not working and
faulty for which there is no explanation apart from the drivers not loading
which could be becuase of a number of things).

Ok, so what we're now saying is if we ignore all the bits about it not
working, being faulty and any other reference to it being f**ked then
it might, in fact, be working?

We could also ignore the reference to it being a Creative graphics
card and it might be an Ferrari GTO with ejector pack and James Bond
machine guns.

So I reckon you've either brought a f**ked graphics card or one of
kind classic sports car in mint condition. Well, I'd be happy to
stick a tenner on you getting one of 'em!

We shall soon see - the only way I can critizise him for anything is the
very obvious/noticable BIOS/POST corruption issue is there then I will feel
he was not being entirely honest about how "the drivers would not load
properly in 2 systems"

Its a neutral feedback at worst and I will give positive even if the card is
faulty for any other reason - then a very obvious one.

I`m a gambler.

Not only are you an MFing sniper but you and a bad ebayer too. You have to
pay and if you don't you will be in breach of contract.

Hi;

I bought this item on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=2769544 241
on the basis of the information given which is the PCs recognise the card
but will not load the drivers. I have not recieved the card yet but I`m
starting to worry that I have not been given an honest auction description
as it would appear to be.

The most common genuine "fault" with these Creative Ti4400 cards is bad
ram
which is obvious from the screen corruption there is no mention of screen
corruption in the auction description - so a correct representation would
not mention screen corruption which it does not. However there is a
possibility that the screen corruption only occurs once the drivers have
loaded giving him a great reason to pretend he could not get the drivers
loaded.

This auction

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tegory=27 387
clearly states the problem I`m referring too and I would not have bid on
it.

I have seen screen corruption on my own Ti4200 when you overclock the
graphics memory too high this is only possible when the drivers are loaded
obviously - maybe I will be able to clock the memory lower slowing down
the
card as a way around it - but I feel that if screen corruption occurs it
will be obvious to me when I test it and that I have a right to feel
cheated.

As I say don`t actually have the item yet - whats your view ?

Yep , an abusive term which has amongst its many meanings , the one
you mention. A pretty good description for Nick LeLiar really.

I don't agree. Female genitalia serves a useful purpose.

And when it's bleeding that's considered not such a good thing.
