Even with PayPal I like to pay with credit card so I have the option to charge back the sale through the CC company.
But yeah...some people knowingly sell broken stuff "as is".

hey jammie - did you get in touch with JD?
further weirdness has evolved in relation to scsiforsamplers. com
http://www.gearslut z.com/board/ electronic- music-instrument s-electronic- music-production /415880-hardware -samplers- scsi-hard- drives.html
seems that without paypal protection, someone in italy was sold an "as
is" drive, after being redirected from a sale through
scsiforsamplers. com, by scsiforsamplers. com to an "associate" of
scsiforsamplers. com.... called JD... (you know - same name as the guy
that everyone who deals with scsiforsamplers. com actually deals
with......) and this drive arrived in a non-operational state.
now I don't know about anyone else, but when I read something is being
sold "as is" I assume it to mean "this works, but there's no warranty"
if you know something is broken, then you would sell it "broken, as is"
and I don't understand how, that at the markup scsiforsamplers. com sells
things, the drives are not ALL checked, and their working status is
confirmed or not, as soon as they arrive in store.... which leads to a
very bad assumption on the character of whoever is doing this...
anyway - like I already said.. massive uncharacteristic weirdness is
going on here with scsiforsamplers. com - be extra careful of anything
they (or an associate of them that you might normally believe is acting
on their behalf) tries to offer you something to buy "as is" through an
untraceable payment system - because it looks like the trick is to get
people to buy something broken with no warranty, and then use the "no
warranty" as an escape clause for selling broken gear in the first
place..
and THEN on top of everything else, when their victim talks about it on
line, to go and email the victim, threatening a defamation suit!
so - unless some massive explaining gets done, I'd recommend that nobody
buy from scsiforsamplers. com without the protection of paypal. if
they're interested in dealing with a company that can allow this sort of
behaviour at all....
