[ale] would you buy projector from craigslist - off topic

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Below is the conversation I had with the seller, with some personal info
removed.  I hear JD and he has valid points in general on projectors, the
projector itself is a reliable one.  I dont think the person is selling a
stolen one but I hear Ron on this as well.

EPSON 8350 Homelite.  Has very good ratings on Amazon.

The same project is on EBAY from another seller at $800 (if I win the bid
at that price)  including mount and cable.

So not sure what is better.  Your wisdom is needed.

======================


I bought this from Amazon about a year and a half ago. I don't know how
long the warranty lasts on it.

 Couple of quick questions.

 When did you buy this product ? and which store ?  I am asking this to
know how much warranty is even left on this.

 In the link you have shown the projection on a screen, Do you have the
screen with this ?

 Did you mount this on your ceiling or was it kept on a table ?

     I'm okay travelling up to Marietta if you want to pay my gas, but I
can't accept a check, for much the same reason that it's a very large
purchase. You can test it out if you're interested in that but I will need
cash for the trade.

         Are you ok with me calling you  or you can call me .

         I would like to know/see you before  I make a purchase.  You seem
to be an honest guy but this is a big amount so please understand.

         If I am willing to pay for your gas, are you willing to travel to
my place in Marietta and I can look at the product once.  If you want me to
come down I am ok with that too.

             Hey, just getting back to you. My buyer did back out if you're
still interested. I would take $750. Let me know.
