I think no matter how well you know another person you have to practice "caveat emptor"when buying something that is used. Dr. Drib just reminds people of that fact. I mean unlike the original store purchase you don't get a money back guarantee if something does go wrong with the gadget you have bought. And though I do believe the sellers here at MR are by and large honest there are always other people out there who aren't. Certainly there are enough stories of people having bought Kindles from Craigslist or Ebay only to find out they are bricked due to being lost or stolen to prove that fact.
