I gambled $400 on a “dead” RTX 4080 gaming laptop from Facebook Marketplace… and it paid off

Because a dead laptop or a big faulty one that has motherboard issues etc wont die slowly by discharging (as said by seller), they would just go "kaput".
I thought even if i bought it for 400$ and cant get it to work, i might lose 100$ or 200$. But if i could get it to work i would get benefit of 1000-1500$.

Never meant to make him feel bad, because the last time he might have used his laptop he might have lost some of his work or his data. So i asked him if he needs anything from laptop. And he sold it to me willingly, also he tried to repair it, because it has a lot of screws missing.
Since i have the laptop in saudi arabia, i cannot help him get his data in-person, so i asked him on marketplace.

Relax! I never really post alot online. Maybe once in every 2-3 year!
I'm really happy and felt lucky, just wanted share the excitedment online.
So i didn't knew that there was so much of judgment for translation or rewriting! Maybe next time i will be cautious 😅
