This laptop was originally 2,000 back in the day. I was curious what I was going to get given everything, the fact that this was 500 and the condition was merely labeled as "fair".
What I got was a laptop in PERFECT condition. Judging from left over steam files, the person who had it played nothing but an NBK game on it lol, before sending it in. Many such cases for casuals.
There was a super small knick in the body that I only just now noticed. Otherwise, this thing is literally, in every way, completely brand new and has just been given a healthy polish and likely some new thermal paste I'm guessing, since I can tell it has been opened and what not.
Either way, this is the best purchase I've undertaken in at least 5 years. I am never buying anything new again, I'm a back market loyal fan for now on.
