I have put my laptop on ebay


It is 1 month old, selling due to Three NOT giving me the correct speed that i need, states on their website that they have 2.7 in my area, but only getting 0.02

Anyone want to bid, or make an offer here?

If you'd like to pm me a price..

pezzza

Was rather thinking you could Pm me an offer, as that is what i am looking for.

already turned down 3 offers on feebay, one from a muppet from bulgaria, listing does say that its UK only, but thay still get through somehow.

Anyway, offers turned down so far are £50 - £100 and £110

Take a look on feebay and see other listings of same laptop, all over £350, so i think offers a little below that are reasonable.

pezzza

OK, i'll be honest here and say that i want over £200 for it,but if it doesn't sell on ebay by saturday morning, i will let it go to another buyer who has already called me about it (you know who you are)

Is it just cash you after or would you be up for a swap with something.

what??????

I think he's selling his laptop as his broadband speed isn't quite what he expected. It's even possible that it's the 3g coverage on his phone

Can't quite see why the laptop has to go as a result but there you are....

I've got three mobile broadband too and can vouch for that, it's rubbish, I'm getting 240kbps at the mo (half the speed of dial up). unfortunately there's no cable around here (I used to have virgin's 20mb at the old place ) and I'm too far away from the exchange for normal broadband so I've not got much choice other than moving!!

WRX_Dazza

pmsl at this thread....

why put stuff on ebay then advertise it here?

surely suggest a price then if it doesn't sell for that then ebay it.

thats what i would do.

i've seen these for £80

pezzza

Reason i am selling is due to broadband speed is crap (three are rubbish) and i have got a new laptop from vodafone and speed is 100% better.

The laptops on ebay are going for OVER £350, take a look and see for yourself, dont know where you get £80 from?

If you see them all day on ebay for £130 tops, then please buy as many as you can (if they are NEW like mine) and let me know, i will give £175 for as many as you can get.

No i would not like to swap for anything other than cash, it works much better when i pay for things.

[QUOTE][It's even possible that it's the 3g coverage on his phone/QUOTE]

Not the phone, as its the thingie you plug into laptop that is at fault, only getting 78kbps when they are offering over 4mb

John1uk

a few calulations for u

Dial up = 56kbs max.

you say u get half the speed of broadband @ 240kbs

if you have the following downloads speeds plz take into consideration that this is what you are getting "roughly"

half meg broadband = 512 kbs
1 mb broadband = 1000 kbs

plz note: bs = bites per second and kbs = killobites per second.

1 b = 1 carracter on your keyboard eg. a

1 killobites = 100 a's

1 megabite = 1000 a's

im not her to prove anyone wrong, just stating what people don't understand what there speed means

so 240 kbs is 5x faster....than 56k. still not fast though.......

now that makes sense.

pezzza

Will swap for a scoob if you like?

WRX_Dazza

IIRC
56k is 56 kilobits per second and there are 8 bits in a byte (one character)

therefore you divide the (56x1024) by eight to give you the approx number of actual characters downloaded.

same with 2mb its 2048x1024 /8

just thought i'd let you all know

oops thanx Dazza, i forgot to put that lol

pezzza

To late mate. You've made it quite clear you don't want to swap for anything.
I do hate poeple who can't make up there mind.

Mark_B4

From what I've heard the laptops they give away on these deals are cheap and nasty

pezzza

Well its got bids up to £205 at the moment, and thanks for the tw*t that made this thread unwanted, maybe YOU dont want it, but others might?

WRX_Dazza

dont know who marked this as unwanted, but i dont think that's fair...

WRX_Dazza

MadOli

Check out the bidders looks very suss

Nate

iTrader: (2)

Personally, for that value, I would not want to be in a situation where I would wend the item off, as you my find that when they receive it, there could be monies being claimed back via Paypal.

Check out bidder 9 ........ 'No Longer Registered With Ebay'

I hope I'm wrong, but I would proceed with caution.

Nate

iTrader: (2)

Oooooh and bidder 7 who had their bid cancelled by Ebay themselves .

Still can't find the bids for bidders 5 and 8 though

Are the specs correct? as the lappys given away by 3 are not normally that good. There are a wide range of HP 550 specs.

Hope it works out for you Pezza but it dont look great.
