Readers might be seeing a lot of advertisements asking for used AC no working AC. Has anyone thought where do these go ?
There are some AC shop keepers who repair them , sell them through Qatar living, giving the impression that they are house hold items and moving sale.

If it works , you are lucky. If it does not work dont waste time calling, they just do not answer your phone. ! Beware
I am one of the victims, by a seller called Ajith.

I have experienced the same problem. It worked ok at the shop after I fixed it at home for half an hour, it started making noise and at a sudden..it went quiet and dead!!!!

Used AC's are not measured by their ability of cooling..there is also the mechanics and electricity. Cooling is a part and they cheat by filling some gas and spraying WD40 to clear the rust.

My advise when buying a used AC, firstly look for the Brand that is on "High Demand" in the market..I noticed General is the best. Secondly ask for an inspection by a technician and don't trust the sellers. You can inspect yourself by checking the interior for welding signs which means that the compressor has been replaced!! Otherwise take off the doubts by saving some pennies and buy a new one!!!

That's the risk anyone takes when buying a Used item. Next time buy new and the warranty should cover you

We normally buy used items to save some amount but you have to take the risk, some of them are cheaters some are good.

We just have to be more careful, be carefully enough to check the items before buying it.
