Is that "unbeatable" Marketplace deal a steal, or a digital poltergeist waiting to haunt your wallet? 👻

It’s Wise Wednesday, and as your local Tech Bodyguard, I’ve seen too many "perfect" second-hand finds turn into expensive exorcisms. Whether you’re scouting tech in Lethbridge or Raymond, don't let a low price blindside your common sense.

Before you hand over your cash, remember these bodyguard basics:

🛠️ The Sniff Test: If it smells like burnt dust or ozone, those capacitors are screaming for help.

🛠️ Jiggle the Ports: Loose charging or HDMI ports aren't "minor fixes": they’re hauntings that can lead to a dead motherboard.

🛠️ The Cold Start: Always boot it from cold. It’s the only way to see the true health of the hard drive and battery.

Don't go into a deal unprotected. If you’re unsure, send me a photo of the listing! I’m here to help our community in Magrath, Stirling, and across Southern Alberta stay savvy.
