During December I bought a motherboard at a premium price. Board was not as described in the ad, it was caked in black house dust to the extent I had to use a fair amount of electrical contact cleaner and paintbrush to clean it. Already this had annoyed me, the seller described it as excellent. However this wasn't the main issue, upon opening the box I discovered the mounting brackets for the CPU cooler/water cooler on the motherboard weren't there, I found them loose in the box with no screws.
None of this was described in the ad or made aware to me. (perhaps it's my ignorance but when a seller describes a motherboard as excellent one assumes it's good to go, especially one marked at 75% of its new price even when out of warranty) Due to me being on holiday with family over December, I had no time to build my PC and then work started off with a busy year.
I have since contacted the seller but he doesn't seem to possess any urgency in anything he does. His username I suppose is reminiscent of this.
Below is the ad, I'd like your opinion on the matter if you feel this was a fair deal. In the interim I've given the seller a choice to find the heatsink and send to me, buy a replacement heatsink or alternatively I ship the motherboard back to him at my expense and he transfers the money back to me.
