electrical goods or kitchenware from?

Usually, I like to buy old computers for around 10% below original retail or the odd television just out of warranty, only been used for 365 days and watched for 1825 hours, falling in at 20% below original selling price.

For the kitchen, kettles, toasters and juicers at $10 - $20 a pop,

If not an electrical good, why don't you sell me your old books for $10 a throw.

And hey, after using all your crap for a year or more, if you can't sell it for approximately what you paid for it, why don't you just take it on the plane with you when you leave.

There are people on here selling laptops for more than the cost new for the newer model. I know where you can find them.

Seriously, the lame reference is not even funny. If what you said in the thread and the repeated pms has any merit I would listen and lower the price.

I checked the links you provided. That laptop does not have the gpu processing power that I paid extra for.

By all means if you don't need a dedicated card for gaming then go ahead and purchase that integrated version. I even called the company to verify this. They don't do dedicated cards in the inspiron anymore and the graphics capabilties is much lower which explains why the price is much lower.

if you don't want it, walk away, but please don't misrepresent the information and then whine about it.

if you have discovered information to the contrary then by all means share.

Yeah, my Engrish sucked on that one. Erm, how much does a greedy person cost these days?

Actually, I just started this thread because I think people are crazy to pay the prices that are being asked on here. They have no Idea how much you can buy this stuff for on the internet here, or at the right place in Yongsan.

Even Homeplus does better deals on cameras etc.

By the way, OP, there was one part of your post that I found a tad confusing...are you saying that you will pay me $10 to let me throw my old books at you?

It's a deal!

Should have bought my stuff

A lovely lady got A large crockpot, a small crockpot, a toaster oven with accessories and a nice lamp for 30k from me.

Saying that though.

Hippie something or other actually had the gall to PM me about the small crockpot and offer me 5k for it, claimed he had seen it new on ebay for $13.

FFS I was going to just throw it out the window if I got any more knobber pm's like that.

Thankfully the lovely lady saw sense and for her 30k got a good deal.

Dave's is full of tools. No other way to descrive the place. Either people lowballing with farking stupid offers and people selling way too high.
