I bought a computer from a company that stated the auction to be AS-IS with only stated damage was it was missing the hard drive. When I received the computer it was completely fried. I took it to the local repair shop and they said that all the internals were fried. I feel they used misleading advertising by just stating the hard drive was gonna when really he computer is just a large paper weight. I contacted the company and they told me it was sold AS-IS no refunds. Though at the bottom of the auction they state to contact them with any discrepancy within 7 days of revceiving the item, which i did. the discrepancy is the whole computer is dead. The only good part on it is the case. I paid $300 for the tower which was about right for what it had. It's not likly i was getting some screaming deal and it went sour. I paid fair market value and the item turned out to be junk. I contacted the Better Business Bureau and my credit card company. Anything else I should do?

You bought the computer AS-IS, just that.
Was this an auction house of various items, or one that deals specifically in computer products? Without a hard drive it is difficult to test the computer. If they made a visual inspection and it was missing the hard drive, then it is not a discrepancy.
None of that really matters as again, you bought the item AS-IS.
Sorry.......

"As is" means just that. If it was a piece of junk, what's what "It is" when you bought it.
"As is" means is, what you see is what you get.
