I totally agree with you. Buying a second hand products online especially computers are very risky.
“3. Make sure you collect all the essential Drivers and Operating System CD or DVD for later use. You might need them to Re-install if a problem arises.” – people usually forget to do this or they always misplace it not knowing the importance of it.

Good tips… Although, I doubt that I'd ever buy a second-hand computer.
As Steve says, new computers aren't expensive these days. And if you want to go the 'pre-owned' way, just get something refurbished from your favorite computer dealer. That way you know its legit and working AND you have the warranty.
