How often have we seen on here, someone buys a phone, and there is no charger. The listing states in capitals there is no charger included, but the buyer somehow thinks there should be, because they didn't read the description, and opens up an INAD......and sadly, sometimes win.
My 2 cents. Hopefully this is the last post guys. About the 2nd hand market for such items.
Of course we believe when we buy a TV it will come with a stand, a washing machine with pipes, a fridge with baskets / containers etc. Same thing with phone with charger. Laptop with power adapter etc. Everyday mainstream consumer products, this is what we believe. Nothing wrong with it.
But for niche products, such as a sewing machine, or a camera DSLR, a turntable. There is a market for additional parts / components which involve efforts and hence certain costs attributed (these costs can be very high sometimes). These components hold values on their own and they are usually NOT included as part of a sale unless specified. From value perspective, the opposite can also happen when original components hold negative value and owner upgraded / discarded the original components and threw them away. Again the fact they are niche products means owners usually spend more.
Last example for you guys, if we use computers for example.
Alienware Aurora (the egg shaped computers)
Dell will recommend you to buy an Alienware keyboard + mouse as part of the purchase, if not they throw a standard Dell keyboard + mouse for free. So on the box will say either the Alienware keyboard + mouse or standard Dell keyboard + mouse included.
However, when I searched on eBay for used Alienware Aurora, only 1 out of 10 Alienware Aurora listings include the keyboard + mouse. 9 out of 10 do not. Should I download a manual from Dell and demand sellers to send me the keyboard + mouse too? Or should I threaten to file a dispute? Or should I even think about these sellers being dishonest ? Of course not. When you buy a standard PC, a keyboard and mouse is usually included. For an Alienware Aurora, owner usually either keep their Alienware keyboard, or they threw away the original Dell one and got a high standard replacement themselves.
Hopefully this is all. I only spoke about stuff I own and personal experiences. To argue it's absurd to even consider OP should have all original components included. Both from new product and used product perspective. Whether OP choose such arrange on purpose or she forgot to include them at the first place is completely irreverent. She had the right to sell her stuff however she wants. Have a good long weekend guys.
