today's video is brought to you in part by Professor Einstein a really cool robot that can teach you science and even train your brain hey what's up Tech fans welcome back once again to the channel glad to be here glad you're here too now I know that all of us wish we had all the cash in the world so that we could buy the latest greatest newest equipment all the time and have the absolute best systems in the world but most the time for many of us that's just a pipe dream that can't happen let's just face it there's those one percenters who can buy everything and then kind of the rest of us who all fall through the crackles and in some places I know that money is even tighter than it is here in the US and for people out there who live in these type of places and for even people here in the US who don't have a lot of cash sometimes buying used gear is an absolutely great experience you can get yourself some really cool stuff and not have to pay a lot of money for it now one of the best things about this is is that we all know that the latest and greatest iteration of anything out there you know you want to buy a 1080i it's the most you want to buy a vega card it's going to probably be the most anything that's like right now 580 included is going to be probably kind of expensive even on the use side but here's the key though by last generation if you buy last generation stuff you're going to be able to buy great parts for a much lower price now the tricky part about buying you stuff is let's just face it it's used so that alone right there means that there's you know a probability that there could be something wrong now I know there are some forms out there and stuff that work off you know like people who have a reputation for selling used gear and some of those places might be okay now I just got to tell you guys right off the bat though buying used equipment from people at you know strange places and strange forms is very very risky Craigslist crazy stuff let's just face it if you buy something from Craigslist and you get it home it doesn't work what are you going to do I mean try to contact the person because unless they're totally honest with you know with you it's going to be you and your buddies with a baseball bat saying hey bro I want my cash back because there's just no way to guarantee your money that's it's just not that way now like I said a second ago there probably are some forms out there with members that have been around for a long time have a great reputation for you know selling you stuff and maybe they even exchange you stuff and that's okay for you folks out there who have the insight down to that please do me a favor leave links down below to help other people to go to place where they know that they can rely on the stuff they're buying now myself personally I find that eBay and Amazon actually offer the best way to get your parts and I'll tell you why on eBay and Amazon they both have warranties that completely protect your money so if you buy anything on there if it comes to you it's broken it doesn't work you don't have to worry anything whatsoever about getting your money back and that's just a really good thing now there are a lot of deals I'm sure that you can probably find on Craigslist and in some of these forums that are probably even maybe a little bit cheaper than that but the whole thing is just really rolling the dice will your money be saved will the parts that you get actually work and if they don't work how are you going to get back that financial you know commitment that you just purchased I mean let's just face it especially if the shipping is like - overseas and you're risking something like that and you're trying to get something overseas then it becomes even more and more tricky as you go down the line and let's just face it some use parts from people are really really nice I mean a lot of guys out there tech sites I know a lot of guys get their part I turn around they sell them on places well most of the places that they sell them where they're going to be probably in some of these forums or on eBay or Amazon and while we're talking about the thought process of buying used equipment let's check out a word from today's sponsor professor Weinstein professor Einstein is an amazing expressive and playful robot that can teach you science and even train your brain not only as Professor Einstein a learning tool he can take a walk he can smile he can point he can even go crazy and turn his head and blink and when you connect to the cloud he can talk to you about science math people and anything in between professor Einstein makes it easy to understand any of the facts that you ask him to from astronomy to physics to geology and so much more the possibilities are really endless if you can think of it professor Einstein can answer it to interact with professor Einstein all you need to do is download their app this works with either an Android or iPad device professor Einstein can keep your brain active by playing fun addicting games that you can learn from as well as simple and difficult quizzes to keep your noggin in shape this is a win win in my book because you can learn and still have fun so if you were looking for something to bring the whole family together and something that anyone can learn from I would highly recommend checking out professor Einstein so let's get to work now the best thing that I like about Amazon I would have to say that Amazon is the number one even though they're probably the most expensive so let's just start there Amazon best place in the world to buying thing they'll take anything back it pretty much doesn't matter no matter what you don't like it it's broke you don't like the color hell you can return it to Amazon they won't give a crap don't even work with what the person who sold it and you guys will both get your monies and you'll all be happy campers now like I said though that is probably the most expensive place for used parts but sometimes you can get incredible incredible deals I one time by the camera lens author the camera lens was like usually like 300 bucks and I was able to get it for like a hundred and fifty bucks is a great deal that came brand-new that was awesome I've also recently been buying a lot more used and refurbishment off of Amazon myself and like I said even though it does cost a little bit more money we had a motherboard that came in which is kind of like you know why our testing sucks up damn long and rides I won't even get into that but you know we had to exchange that motherboard and get rid of it and Amazon took it back with absolutely no question whatsoever now eBay on the other hand is like a virtual swap meet I mean they have make offers you can get really cheap stuff on eBay now I will say this though bidding most of the time on eBay is a lot of every time you go to the bids and every time I look at vids I have to sit back and honestly shake my head go what the is this world come to honestly I sometimes see items selling for almost the exact same price as a new item which is just totally utterly just like yeah I want anything to do with that you might want to get into it I've gotten lucky a few times I've probably bid on probably thousands of items over the years I think I've maybe won ten or eleven that were actually worth my time so go from there but a lot of people have buy it now and with the Buy It Now price you'll see that a lot of people are really just trying to get rid of their old computer equipment because there's factors that go into that for one thing the equipment's getting old you know and electronic stuff doesn't like have really any like resale value in the future if you buy a Pentium CPU from yesterday or an AMD phenom from a long time ago and you think you can put it on a shelf and save it up for a rainy day and sell that for like 20,000 dollars in investment man ain't happening electronics don't work that way so you'll be able to find people out there that'll give you absolutely great deals and you can also send a message to a person asking them saying hey man you know I know that this item is $89 I've got $69 would you willing to take that send me an offer and I'll buy it right now and the best thing about eBay is is if anything on there doesn't work you have 31 days in which to provide a reason why it's not working either it's not as described or just plainly doesn't function but either way your money is safe with eBay and I think overall that eBay's prices can even compete with some of these forums out there that sell stuff I've looked at the prices and some of them pretty cool the absolute really best way that you can buy any used equipment is probably to buy it from a friend because you know where that stuff's been and what it's been doing but if you want to save money and you want to buy yourself use parts please guys out there did you know of good form that this is working on I'd really appreciate your interaction with this video please leave the comments down below - those type of sites please don't link to other YouTube channels most those comments are it's going to be the link to be deleted as container I have to bat but if you're putting a link to something that actually has to do with the video and it's not linked to another YouTube site I'm totally down and I would appreciate that because I know there are some people out there who want to know where these places are what forums are I don't really use forums that much I used to you know back in the old days why I have one of my own I was but these days I honestly find just the ease honestly the ease of using Amazon and eBay is just absolutely best because let's just face it you call up a guy that you bought it from in a forum and he's been really great but like he's adamant that that particular part work and he's not willing to really give you your money back it becomes a battle and I don't know most you guys but I'd really don't always like conflict I'm sure you guys don't want that either so if you don't want to have any conflict any complications whatsoever no your best place for pricing is eBay your best price for any type of return is Amazon and I would say that the forum's those probably fall in third and I'd appreciate like I said some links from people out there who know what's up to some of these forums so hey that way my fans can check them out and I can know them as well so at the end of the day maybe you guys go we don't have a lot of money you want to buy use parts you can definitely get yourself a last-gen system that'll be totally awesome nice and clean almost like new and you can do without taking any risk whatsoever through ebay and amazon so peace out and once again thanks to Professor Einstein for being today's sponsor like usually we'll have links down below that like buttons peace out we'll see you guys back on the channel for more tech
