davie23223 · 01-27-2008, 03:55 AM

They say that a lot on ebay, can someone tell me?

brian · 01-27-2008, 03:58 AM

it means that they dont inlude anything extra and if it is broken they will sell it to you

BluePlum · 01-27-2008, 04:02 AM

just say you see a piture of it. Thats it. Broken= bad luck. Its sold as it is.

davie23223 · 01-27-2008, 04:03 AM

They mentioned that it works, but also said "sold as is"

So really, if the card does not work, he can get away with it?

"I recently upgraded my video card and no longer need this one. The card works, but is sold as is."

How much is he asking for it and which card is it?

that means that it currently running, but there might be a chance one or two things might be wrong with it, even though it works. there is no warranty on it and if it breaks or something, he is not responsible. it's being sold in the condition that it's in right now

Just to better understand this, for example, if someone was selling something on ebay, they can lie that the device works(but really it doesn't) and just say "sold as is" and when the buyer receives that card and found out it didn't work, the seller is not responsible? So the buyer is kinda taking a risk?

yes i guess if you want to think of it negatively, then that is true

like they have mentioned above It is working but it might have some defects that the seller does not want to describe...

So the sold as it is protects them in away...
But it can get you negative feedback...
