Liability and 2nd hand 'old stuff'

[Narcisus]

I'm currently having a clear out on eBay of some old computer stuff and other electrical odds and ends. Some of this stuff is pushing 40 years old.

Would I be liable if my old C64 electrocuted someone or burned their house down ?

Probably sold as not seen.

I guess you list as untested for parts

I'd guess it depends on your advert and indeed your job.

If an electrician, and the buyer knows you are, then you might be expected to have tested it. If a dustman then all you might have done is plugged it in.

So just be honest whether its been plugged in or not recently.
