Snowdon Computers Ltd,

Come on, offer them at a nice discount on this group. 5 for £500 for
instance ?
They stand me at more than that each as it is. Didn't research
properly before buying, other brand Centrino 1.7s sell for £150+ all
the time and after I have bought in PSUs for them these are a bit of
a mistake. Shame as in my opinion the build quality of these
surpasses Tosh and Dell models of the same spec easily, FSC seem to
have got their act together and started building decent laptops at
last.

Besides experience has told me that people wanting to pay peanuts
generally expect the world on a plate and often turn out to be very
problematic customers after the fact so no discounts, no. :)
Eh - yo changed to 'zz'
Anyway, stop stereotyping; I'm not bloomin problematic dear chap.
my ebay profile with 503 ratings are at 100% (mainly as a buyer).
FSC may occasionally get it right, but they keep producing real dud's.
Yours are over 5 years old now so for me, £140 is too much regardless
of what you bought them for (which from a buyers point of view is
somewhat irrelevant?).
Always worth offering though as for many sellers, the ease of selling
larger number, and paying zero commission makes it attractive. Let's
face it, you've had your share of problem buyers!
Thanks for wrecking my advert though, very nice of you (and totally
unnecesary I might add)
Wrecking you advert? how's making an offer wrecking it?????
You got a bloody exclusive now? FFS. You're off on one yet again aren't
you Neil!
This is a ng and therefore like it or not, you SHARE posting rights!

Funny I am sure it says "cFS" in the subject line and not "cFO". The
trouble with this group is that some people can't resist sticking their
noses in and rubbishing people's adverts or asking prices and I am not
just talking about this one, you see it all the time when someone tries
to sell something as opposed to giving it away for free.

Having said that it's unlikely anyone at all will consider them now you
have alluded the FSC producung 'real duds', pointing out that mine are
over 5 years old and £140 being too much (for you - but this will
generally be read as being too much full stop). It has gained you ***
all aside from a bit of self stroking of your Ego so what exactly is your
motivation for running my product down like you have? If you don't want
to pay my asking price then why didn't you just pass this buy rather than
indicate I should be giving 28% discounts for newsgroup members then
running off a list of bad points like you did?

No wonder this group has gone to ***.


Sure, DCA's OP may have been unnecessary (but wasn't rude).
I am struggling to see how you keep in business given your totally OTT and
unprofessional response - you being a responsible and reliable trader and
all that. It would put me right off dealing with you!

If being honest and speaking my mind put anyone off dealing with me than I
am happy to not have them as a customer. Maybe you prefer people to fawn and
simper to all and sundry and tell lies eh? Sorry but that's not me, if
people can't handle plain honesty then that's not my problem. The recent new
highs my turnover has been hitting tells me I am not doing too much wrong &
just proves to me how far detracted from the real world this newsgroup is.
FWIW I was emailed privately by a posted here asking if I would sell at
DCA's 'recommended' price and I believe I declined politely - as I would
have done had DCA emailed me directly instead of posting his alternative
valuation as a follow up to my advert/post.

If you want to see rude and OTT you should have seen the diatribe DCA sent
Raj by email after getting a rather silly 'best' offer on a batch of Raj's
laptops rejected on Ebay.
