To say this chap was not prepared proved very true. Our laptop packed up the other week and we have just booked a job where we need one. Went to PCworld and did not fancy the high prices and so got onto Ebay.
There were two superb looking Sony Vaios for sale locally. I managed to talk both of them into allowing us to take a look. One of them said I could look but not buy as his wife was a teacher and they needed to format the drive.
No problem I said and arrived armed with some images on a card to check it out. For some reason they would not open from the card reader and so I dragged them onto the desktop. I said I would delete them afterwards. Still they would not open so I decided there must be something really wrong. I deleted them as promised and then went to the recycle bin to delete them from there. I quickly shielded my daughter's eyes as up popped their home "bedroom" shots

The moral of the story - if you are going to sell your computer BE PREPARED - FORMAT THE DARN THING
