That's the problem with these things. The most common failure is the hard drive. Consider that a VS R3 is about 10 years old, would you trust the HD in a 10 year old PC?

I can guarantee you that nothing you buy "refurbished" has had nothing more than a cleaning. When old equipment comes into most refurbishers if it doesn't work it gets tossed. Not worth it to fix anything. So that leaves you with something that has had a cleaning of it's outside and a quick test for functionality with everything original.

I don't sell used or refurbished because it either has problems or doesn't last very long.

By the way, you can use any Partner Messaging (except of course the PC card for the ACS) including the current Partner Messaging R7.
