Hey,

dennis

my advice to you, DONT BOTHER.

so, i guess i should lose all hope…  I’m never gonna find an affordable one (by my standards)
:cry:

Feels too good to be true mate. Wait for a decent offer at ebay or apply for a student loan.

yup really, if he doesn’t agree on the COD dont bother.

I am not trying to flash around how many things I own and how many things I know or how many things I do, I am just offering the kid a solution, since he looks desparate. This is just a friendly reminder from your uncle , since I know people are gonna start screaming how I am trying to portray myself as a wealthy son of a bitch ... etc etc..

you son of a ....

what’re we talking about? :oops:

hehe that’s really nice of ya :wink:

[quote author=“DayWalker1”]Dennis,

I have a Dell 700m, which is faster and a little bigger. I can sell it at cost, if that will make you happy. It used for 3 weeks by my wife. 

It runs around 1600$ on dell.com

I paid ~1000$ including tax.

It is centrino 1.6ghz, 512mb, 30gb, 12.2” ClearScreen ... dells version of xbrite, 1280x800, intel 64mb video, cdrw/dvd-rom.

If you want it, let me know. I am sorry that I killed the hope, but it is better that way instead of you shooting yourself in the head after getting a brick for xmas…

Hey, I’m pretty interested in that. How much are you willing to let it go for? I dont understand what you mean by selling it at cost. Give me a little bit of time to think it over, and I’ll let you know asap. Thanks 8)

at cost = what I paid for

I paid 998$ + whatever shipping to you and the insurance.

best,

S

so, i found someone else who is willing to sell me this thing.
here are the email trasnactions. It began with me emialing him telling him im interested. this is what came next…

This is me:

awesome. I was hoping we could work out some COD thing
using ups or fed ex?
I had another deal fall through becasue we couldent
agree on the shipping :(
Thanks

This is him:

Hi Dennis,

In the next hour i will fly to London,UK so i cant met you next week.But dont worry my wife will be here in New York and she will shipp you the unit via Ups.Like i told you i will ship it on my expence,but i will need an inssurrance that you have the money for it so here is what i propose that bought of us fell safe doing the transaction ,you will send the money to someone you trust ,your girl friend ,your mother or even on your own name via MoneyGram.After that you will send me the scan paper of the money transfer so i can see that you have the payment for it.After i will recive the scan copy from you my wife will shipp you the unit.After you will receive it and do the inspection,you will change the recivers name with mine so i can pick the payment .This is a safe way for bought of us do the transaction.
I will wait for your answer ASAP.
Thank you for your time.

This is my answer:

Is there anyway that i would be able to just meet up
with your wife and give her cash instead of going
through all that? I’m not really familiar with money
transfers.
I hope we can agree to this,
Thank you

Now i know that money transfers are a scammers wet dream, which is why i wont go through with the sale unless he doesent agree to something thats more suitable for me. I’m gonna wait for his responce,
Wish me luck guys.

Best of luck mate. I think your headed the right way.

cheers.

hey, you didn’t specify which laptop this was now…a TR or a Dell?

this was his reply:

Hi Denis,

i understand you but my wife will only shipp you the item.About the money transfer is easy ,and safe for you if we use it that way.You can visit http://www.moneygram.com  and find a location near you.Like i told you,you will not send the money to me ,you will send them to somoane you trust.And after that my wife will send you the unit.After you will recive’it you will change the recivers name with mine.So please let me know A.S.A.P.

Thanks

What should I do???

Sounds Dodgy as F**k to me   :?

yea, it does to me also, but how can i get screwed? Im sending the moneygram to someone i know, and when the package arrives, im changing the receivers name to his (even though i dont really know how to do that) and then im sending it over to him.
Is there anyway i could get screwed?

Damn, now i dont know what to do. I dont even know how to to money transfers or anything even if this isnt a scam….
