Haha nice 1 CJ.
Used to sell PC Hardware/assemble PC for people. Same thing happens.
Me: Boss the price I quote is without OS (Operating System) if you want free OS I install linux for you. Windows XP Home will cost RM3xx.
Client: Walauea Windows so expensive meh?? No other alternative ah?
Me: Linux lor.
Client: But I want Windows. Help lar I know you can.
Me: I can try to get 2nd hand COA(Certificate of Authenticity) for you but it's not cheap also might as well get new 1.
Client: 2nd hand dowan lar. Those pasar malam 1 kenot meh.
Me: Let me stress again I cannot support piracy. If get caught masuk jail tutup biz. If you wan I will not stop u but not in my premise.
So I told him to get his own copy (by hook or crook watever) and I'll install for him at his place. But thats not the end of story. After 1 week or 2.
Client: WTF lar. Always hang bla bla bla.
Me: I already told you that I'm only selling you the hardware so anything happens to the software part you have to contact the their tech support. I've checked the hardware everything works fine. If you're not satisfied I'll replace the "suspected" hardware. If the software got problem then so sorry.
Client: ***Curse like mad lah***
The morale of the story is buy ori. If anything wrong still can screw the tech support people loh since their product suck mah. Buy pirate tanggung sendiri lor....(I feel so sorry for cust support ppl, always get screwed because of their co.s product not up to standard and sometimes because of the consumers ignorance)
PS. I'm not selling any IT related stuff long time already. Just did it to support my tertiary education.
