Buyer Beware.

I would stick with resellers like overstock.com and Newegg to buy refurb equipment since it has some semblance of a warranty and has been serviced by a legitimate company.

I have bought from Overstock.com before and successfully returned refurb equipment. My home PC is a refurbished old Compaq desktop I got from Newegg with a full copy of Windows 7 x64.

Dell also offers refurbs, but I would not buy anything with an AMD processor from them as they had an issue with the processors overheating and melting.

I would not use Craigslist for this type of equipment. Unless you really need it, stick with other places.
