Well hold on.
While I totally agree that its his responsibility to check the (of all things) computer before finalizing the transaction, its not really fair to bash him for publicizing a problem he's having with a regular when Matt actually has a thread (as of this post) RIGHT above this one in response to problems from another forum goer.
If Matt is dicking people around, it's good for this to go public. Especially if this is a recent change in his character. Just because someone WAS a good buyer/seller, doesn't mean he wont start ripping people off. I would hope an Admin would keep this stickied below Matts complaint about cloudstrife as a "buyer beware".
On a side note, even though the O.P. FUCKED up by not testing the Laptop, and should really learn his lesson, I seem to remember a Mr. mike pettigrew from HFX4sale. Its took a thread just like this (and maybe some threats of legal action) to straighten him out. If Matt wants to keep his reputation as a good buyer/seller, maybe this will "compell" him to fix what he's done wrong.
Finally, this is to the original poster. I definitely got the "threatening physical violence" vibe from this post. Pissed as you may be, don't be a retard. It wouldn't be too hard to incriminate you using this thread, should anything actually happen to Matt. Maybe try the "human approach" a little more before getting rowdy.
