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.


I assume you are one and the same as ZZ?
Reply noted, but given my own work in customer Services, I am still
left somewhat flabbergasted at both your response to DCA and even to
me! It is rather like "he's nasty to me, he's nasty to my mate and so I'm
justified in being nasty back" which to an outsider all looks
incredibly childish (especially from a commercial seller!).
If you were a bigger company, I can just see you defending your CS on
watchdog saying, "Well he was behaving like a tosser so I told him
what for" and everyone being highly impressed with how robust you
were! Perhaps not huh?
At the end of the day, (in my book anyway), when you're in the
business of selling things, you never ever openly and publicly
respond in the way you elected to. It just isn't done and your
arrogance regarding 'If they don't like it they can sod off too'
attitude is just amazing. You will only damage your reputation (and not
knowing you or your
business before this sparring match, I can only judge from my
impression gained here). You cannot possibly do it any good.
DCA wouldn't appear to be much of a seller and from what I can see of
his/her ebay profile (link researched from previous posts), certainly
not commercially so and presumably therefore has absolutely nothing to
lose from posting whatever response (s)he sees fit. Hey, and why not,
(s)he's free to comment on whatever post (s)he wants isn't he?
Who is Raj? I assume (s)he is also commercial seller on here/ebay? Am
I missing something? I am assuming that if Raj is in a similar
position to you, he has managed to keep it 'in-house' as I cannot see
any unpleasantness exchanged on here and he will not therefore suffer
as a result!
Anyway, given I was just throwing my oar in, I've said my bit and I'll
*** out before I become unwelcome.

As a 'punter' (not a dealer) I can imagine, with new laptops being so cheap,
and there must be so many second-hand ones on the market because of the
requirements of Vista, times must be hard for the dealer, so I'm not
suprised they get a little hot under collar.
