oh man are you seriously retarded or just a troll seeking attention?
Could you please explain me these words more in detail?
Why you even bother commenting here when you think it's not worth spending time into?

Ohh wait! Let me tell you what you are doing here..
First of all you just want to act like you know most of the things and dominate others specialyl if anyone is from India may be because you are self claimed "Pro Indian Modder" .

Lets just take your posts in my previous thread which included Crazy LED topic India and you just jumped in saying that I just need to google it to find it showing of you know better , which was not even close to what I wanted to buy/search. But you just wanted to show that you know all things in India without even knowing what it was referring to.

Even in this thread now, first of all you are starting with such bad personal comment on me. Then telling me to search in Flipkart.com,but do you first know that this laptop is not at all present on that site, I even called snapdeal.com here and that laptop is not sell-able in whole my city.

This is my first such expensive laptop so I shared my experiences here which may there by help all of my friends down here in city to know about it, so why you think that I am seeking attention?

I personally don't like to write about someone's nature or doings. but sorry I had no option this time.

Laptop Update:-
I returned Laptop, Will get money back in 2 days.


Thanks all for you time and comments.

I personally would have just taken a discount. Those scratches are tiny and not even noticeable.

Yes agree, but we are paying here almost the same price what you are paying there in your country for new ones, I am planning to buy in Jan next year.

seller did list it as "new" so the op does list a point the item wasn't new its a refurb and it looks like it was a spotty job judging by the screw driver marks
the op linked the original page here http://www.ebay.in/itm/Dell-17R-773...D-17-3-Full-HD-Touch-2GB-Nvidia-/331249890702
I would ask for a 30% refund THOUGH ebay such relatively minor issues are not worth a full return

Could it be possibly argued that it was indeed a new item and whatever needed to be repaired was broken from the factory? It does say both new and refurbished on the page. I'm just curious if legally those two terms can coexist together.

I cant find anything about it saying its a refurb, I can see that its advertised as brand new and undamaged though.

I think the seller just genuinely boxed up the wrong laptop.

If you bought it less than 30 days ago, contact eBay's Resolution Center and explain it to them and include those pics to prove it. That is by far the quickest way to get seller response and resolution. Insist he admit if it is refurbed, and if it is, insist on price compensation or full refund.

Once you get eBay's Resolution Center involved, you are in the driver's seat. Most sellers don't want to risk getting their account banned and will go out of their way to resolve it to your liking.

I have done this for myself and a friend, and it works. Curious though, did this LT come in the official name brand packaging and sealed with tape or otherwise somehow? If not that would be a serious red flag before even opening it.

Note, if you end up settling for a price compensation, make sure you know what amount of warranty time you're getting and if the manufacturer honors it. There's a lot of things you don't even want to buy on eBay due to some manufacturers not authorizing warranty service on purchases from them.

For this reason it's always a good idea when buying new electronics on eBay (or even Amazon), to first check the manufacturer's authorized seller list. For instance Amazon used to be an authorized Pioneer dealer, but when they started selling their AVR's way cheaper than everyone else, Pioneer dropped them.

There's much more to making an informed purchase than knowing about the product itself, esp with electronics of any kind.
