- i***7 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI purchased a computer from this seller. It was a little late but that wasn't the sellers fault. It was delayed by USPS. However when it arrived it was packed well and in great condition. I am so glad I made this purchase. The computer had very little cosmetic wear issues and was almost in excellent condition. It is a great computer and I was able to do exactly what I wanted to do with it. I would definitely recommend this seller.
