Check before you buy

Open each point to see what to do. If you are unsure how to test something safely, ask a repair technician for help.

Processor and graphics card

What to do

Ask to see the exact processor (CPU), graphics card (GPU), graphics memory, memory (RAM) and storage. Write down the model names.

What you want to see

The parts match the ad. A gaming label alone does not prove performance.

Stop and ask if

The parts are different or the seller will not show the actual PC.

Try a game you want to play

What to do

Ask the owner to run a relevant game for several minutes, if available. Note the game, screen resolution and graphics settings. Watch for crashes and picture faults.

What you want to see

The game runs at the settings shown. This does not promise the same result in every game.

Stop and ask if

The PC crashes, restarts or shows broken-looking graphics.

Power supply and cooling

What to do

Ask for the power supply (PSU) brand and model. Listen to the fans and ask about cooling repairs. Do not open the power supply or touch wiring.

What you want to see

The power supply is identified and the cooling works during the demonstration.

Stop and ask if

There are leaks, unsafe heat, damaged wires or unexplained shutdowns. Ask a technician for help.

Repairs, drives and upgrades

What to do

Ask which parts were replaced and whether the PC was used for mining or overclocking. Ask for any available drive health report. Check manufacturer support before planning upgrades.

What you want to see

You understand the repair history, installed drives and upgrade limits.

Stop and ask if

Drive errors or repairs are hidden. A health report is not a promise that a drive will never fail.

Included items, price and payment

What to do

List everything included. Agree the final price and any warranty or return terms in writing. Inspect before paying. Never share passwords or one-time codes.

What you want to see

Both people know what is included and what terms were agreed.

Stop and ask if

You are pushed to pay before checking, important items are missing or the terms keep changing.

Compare prices fairly

Compare the actual processor, graphics card, memory, storage and included equipment.
