Wahahahahaha, I just went to Yahoo Auctions yesterday and bid on a Vaio VGN-TX690P/B, the highest speced model in the TX series for $510 where the original bid was $500, the original bidder or anybody else bid on it again and I found out I just won the item!
Haha, on Sony’s website, the item sells for $3000, and I won it for about 1/6 of the cost. Now if I actually get it, then I’d have cause for rejoicing. The seller is quite new, only has started last month and has no feedback….yikes. But she does accept credit card and paypal, which reassures me again.
Even if she really does sell it to me, I still am not too excited though, even though I know many would slit their mothers throat to get a TX for that price. I’ve heard several complaints about it like lots of fan noise, cheap LCD construction, etc. I actually like the older T series more and I’ve actually seen those in person, very nice ultraportable. I feel as if the T is overall better than the TX.
But this is still $510 freaking dollars I’m talking about. Wonder whats going to happen next…...............
The seller has prompty answered all of my questions and is very polite. Maybe she won the notebook and doesn’t know its true value? She said she’s ready to ship the notebook today.
Even if I score it for so cheap, I still wish I could’ve gotten a T370P/L for the same price, even if its an older model, I feel its better than the TXs, even though I haven’t even had the chance to try out any TXs. But people complain about its fan noise, heat and keyboard. I’ve tried T350P/Ls at CompUSA and Office Depot and have fallen in love with them. I also find the Ts more attractive than the TXs.
The great thing is, if I get it for only $510, I could use it for a year, sell it for at least $1200 and then use that cash to get a Yonah or Merom notebook!
:D
