Considering buying two at this price, what do you think?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-TouchP...ht_1876wt_1139
13-25 working days pmsl
How can they sell it for that price? I'm seriously considering it too now, but it's so cheap!!!
I've sent the seller a message as if the items are in the UK It won't take that long.
Might just buy one and take a punt, always covered by Paypal.
Is it actually covered against fraudulent sales? I actually really want one tbh, might do the same as you, if 2 of us made the same complaint then maybe they'd be more likely to do something just in case?Quote:

Screw it, buying one.
I have been looking at is feedback which is 100% good feedback.

I do think that its been stolen though.
Yeah, last item he sold was in 2010 though.Quote:

For £24, I'll stick Android on it and abuse it till it dies.
I got one in the fire sale and if you had as well you would not be saying that. It runs android ICS and even today it is still incredible value at the fire sale price it was sold for a year ago and for £20 it is so cheap it seems highly suspicious.

Managed to order one, well, Should find out within 3 weeks!
I've ordered one but how hard will it be to put Android on it?
What does it run atm
Ships with WebOS, Which is a very nice OS, Very responsive.Quote:

I suggest watching a few youtube videos to compare them!
CM9 for TouchPad has been available for 8 months, there is no reason to be using CM7 on it anymore.

No, mine was always up to date. I'd be lucky to get a day of battery out of it. A lot of other users were complaining of the same poor battery.Quote:

Looks dodgy as hell to me! Definitely a stolen or hacked inactive account with old selling feedback.
1. price is insanely low. other people are selling for £150-200
2. feedback looks VERY dodgy.
- all reasonable looking feedback is from 2010,
- the only two new feedbacks (2012). one is buying a 60p game cartidge case, the other is buying an art print for 2p.
3. the user, after so much inactivity, suddenly has 3 RIDICULOUSLY cheap items for sale in very large quantities.

- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-TouchP...-/190709702722
I wouldn't even bother if I were you. Seems like a VERY clear scam. I highly doubt the items for sale even exist.
//edit - also the item he bought for 2p was to the netherlands with free postage?

can you go on Habbo with it?????????????????
Well, Yeah, it has Flash support so I would assume so.Quote:

Update: Marked as dispatched today, so, I'll keep you updated with my progress, would be cool if everyone else could too!
I bet you end up with a cardboard box stuffed with newspapers/magazines which will be the correct weight and you'll sign for.
Can I suggest one thing to you...
EITHER: Open it in front of the delivery man so he can vouch for it or record it.
I had the same thing with an iPad I got off Amazon, although I did pay a lot more the guy was a scammer. Thankfully Amazon covered me because I opened the package and then grabbed the delivery guy before he could go anywhere so I was fully covered.
I haven't had any tracking information, so it might not of been sent via courier, who knows.Quote:

On that note, it's been ended
lol Real ones are £200-300? This is definitely a scam mate
Haha would love to see the updates to this, keep us informed :P
Not really, in that breakdown HP had not long ago HP themselves and Curry/Pc World were selling them for £23 :PQuote:

Did think it with him living in Manchester how can it take up to 23 days to get the item, I was actually about to buy 5 more :( to re-sell. Guess it's a waiting game now
