Would you buy computer parts online?

I don't like to purchase anything on line as there are lots of possibilities of receiving defected item and some time not more than a empty pack.If we want to make online purchase, we should do it with the selected and trusted sites only.As there is a possibility of bargaining and checking the components of the computer if we buy them directly from the dealers,I used to make purchases only with them.Also in case of failure of the parts, we can easily move to them and this may be very hard to get it corrected.

Definitely not on ebay. I don't want to pay money and get a box filled with rocks in return. I would consider buying a product from a trusted company though, because if they screw me they screw their image.

Yes I would buy computer parts on line, have done it, and have had very good luck at it. in other words all the parts recieved were of good quality and were working.

Unfortunately, I can't buy anything from ebay or sites like that, because I'm living in Iran.ebay dosn't support Iran But I think It's very interesting to buy something from the internet.

Buying online gives more variety. You can also call and ask questions. Great.

I prefer going to a couple of computer stores and canvass computer parts/accessories instead of doing it online.

This is a very good question. Many people will be very hesitant about purchasing such items totally unseen, although it actually makes very little difference. If you visit a high street retialer, you will be unable to see whether a hard drive or RAM stick are of a given quality. Buying from an online store only differs by virtue of the time taken to return defective items.

I buy many things online but I would not buy small/fragile computer parts like RAM or hard disk. Things like these may break/malfunction when received. Normally I buy new stuff only. I also check seller's reputation.

No, I would never buy it online. I don't like buying general things online let alone computer parts, where there are great chances of defects. I always buy computer parts from the trusted venders.

Ebay is a good source of auction products, I really do not buy some computer parts but I do buy some storage devices at eBay for my PSP, camera and mobile phone. I would rather choose to buy computer parts to computer shops at malls so that I can observe them carefully and inspect them as well.
