Full discloser also means stating that they are selling parts that are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If mom'n'pop's CPU/MB fries and the shifty store owner has closed and set up elsewhere under a new name to null any store warranty (which I have seen as well), then they are screwed. Sure they could reset the clock and freq settings before they take it in for manufacturer's warranty but mot people don't know how to do that.

This is not to say that overclocking is bad or evil (I do it to every computer I own) but end users should do it on their own and not pay for the privilage.
