“They sold me a used board as new”
👉 Common risks:
- Used parts sold as “new”
- Repaired components (not disclosed)

- CPU/GPU stress test
✔ Always ask:
- Warranty (even 1 month is useful)
- Bill (even if informal)
- Replacement policy
✔ Best strategy:
- Compare 3–4 shops
- Don’t rush
- Avoid deals that look “too cheap”
🎯 Pro tip (insider knowledge)
- “Refurbished with warranty” > “second-hand loose piece”
