> This wasn’t the first computer part I’ve sold, but every time I do sell one, I’m afraid to open my e-mail until the dispute window has elapsed. Everything I’ve sold has been working, but I’ve always thought it was only a matter of time before someone plugged something in, sent 1.8v through it, and simply claimed that it wasn’t working.

I try to only sell stuff that can be documented as to its condition when it leaves here. Computer parts really do leave you open for problems which I never considered before. Luckily, your buyer was an idiot!
