Recently a computer illiterate friend of mine at the direction of a computer technician bid on and won a opteron 144 cpu from a large computer parts company through ebay. Upon the delivery of the cpu my friend gave the cpu to the computer technician to install in the new computer that he was assembling for my friend. That same day the tech called my friend and informed him that the cpu that he had given him was what appeared to be a amd fx60 and not the opteron 144 originally advertised by the company. My friend emailed the company telling them of the descrepancy but the company did not respond for three days. During that time the technician proposed that he would trade my friend for the cpu for one that was very simular opteron 146. My friend beleiving that the company had sent a faxcilimity instead of the original due to some unforseen problem went ahead and agreed with the trade. Three days later the company emailed my friend informing that they were sending another cpu and that my friend should pay for sending back to them the one that they had originally sent. First my friend does not have the original cpu, second he does not feel that he should be held responsible for the shipping charges for the original cpu. But we were hoping that someone could possably add their input as to the problem that my friend has. So please could we have some opinions and theories on the whats and whos in this delima. Thanks so much for your help! Where is an emoticon when you need one?:roll:
