My experience has been different. I bought a motherboard from Craig's 
list from a local, It worked for a couple of weeks and died, refused to 
complete the POST. He didn't want to hear about it, it was as is I 
guess. Computers I've bought on-line from dealers specializing in used 
equipment have always worked and held up long enough for me to want to 
replace them with something newer. They have even settled problems with 
a phone call.

Today's problem is solved. I e-mailed them this morning and they 
responded this afternoon. The dealer support guy [ZoomUsa] requested the 
system number, I provided it, and he immediately returned the password 
required with the necessary instructions. Problem solved within 24 hours 
of receiving the equipment! Now I can install Fedora on it.
