Lots of people have been buying London used laptop here, no doubt but few have ever shared their experience.

May be they were more lucky than I was.

When I first saw the laptop I paid for, I was immediately depressed and regretted buying one from here.

The thing is, I asked the seller to meet with my Dad because he was in Lagos at the time. Though my Dad told me he knew nothing about computers and that I should wait, I was impatient and told him to just meet the seller since I had already pre-arranged everything.

I should have listened to him. The laptop I got was nothing to write home about. Almost all screws were missing and it felt like the laptop will fall apart any time I want to lift it.

Aside that, the keyboard got spoilt almost immediately and I had to buy a new one. Costing me #5,500 total. Currently the laptop is with a repairer again for the second time just a few days after the keyboard problem. It suddenly stopped charging and now the engineer told me the problem is the iC or something and I had to pay another 5.5k again.

The engineer actually told me the thing had been repaired a lot of times, with taped part and that some parts are even missing from it.

My only regret now is that I wish I had listened to my father and waited. In school here, students are selling better laptops at very cheap prices.


My advice, if you are buying a London used laptop, go and check it thoroughly before paying for it.

And if you are close to a university, go there and look for sellers, list times you will find laptops at almost half the price people are selling it here.

The mini laptop they are selling here for 38k, a friend bought his for 28k and it's working perfectly.

Also it's better you buy from individuals that import in small quantities because those that import in large quantities, most times will not test each products thoroughly before sending them out.
