Craigslist functions more like an online garage sale. It has some useful aspects, but most items are outdated or damaged, often broken or heavily used. I wouldn’t purchase computer parts from this platform unless I planned to disassemble them first.

Here, my usual approach helps avoid most problems. Of course mistakes can happen, but this already reduces the chances of starting off in trouble.

My approach is unique and hard for others to match. To evaluate a computer part you’ll need a PSU, motherboard, GPU, CPU, RAM, storage, cooler, and probably an open air bench plus a portable power supply. This setup lets you power each component individually. You don’t have to test 20 parts at once—just enough for your own build or a friend’s. If you’re buying an Intel CPU and an AMD board, you’ll need extra gear to carry everything. Most folks can’t handle this level of preparation, which is why scammers often rely on it.

True most people can't test hardware. So then you go to a less risky option. You don't have to test it could very well be the seller still has it in a operating fashion or what not. All you can do is ask and wait for an answer. If testing is not possible you simply do not buy it.

The safer choice on Craigslist is to skip it and opt for buying new or even second-hand from a store.

They mostly support the seller. That’s how I ended up with several GTS450s :p.

I've purchased and traded numerous refurbished CPUs without any issues.

Absolutely ideal for purchasers since it MUST function or they receive a full refund.

Absolutely, yes or no. Without solid evidence that you actually sold a functional component, I can just say "they gave me a broken part." To disprove this, you’d need proof you own the item and verified it’s genuine. On platforms like eBay, make sure there’s a clear way to confirm what you’re selling to reduce scams.
