Anybody wanting to save some money on newegg? , or anything electronic - Off-topic

I know this might sound sketch considering how many post counts I have and what not but here is the jist of things, basically im a student and we are trying to move into a new place but none of us can get a loan, so I figured id try something different for some quick cash.
Basically we are losing money in the deal but figured it'd be the same as paying interest with a bank..
I have a new-egg preferred account.. so basically I get a good bit of time to pay it off with no interest
Sooo... to anyone out there who was wanting to buy a new laptop, tv , ps3, phone ect ect
PM me
Help us help you... we negotiate the prices, You send me the money through paypal ill order your stuff, 3 days later it will be at your doorstep
If you seem like a respectable member with alot of references and ect I will place the order send you confirmation and whatnot before you send me the money
Better than any coupon you will find! contact me ASAP for a great deal, keep it, gift it, or resell it. We don't care what you do with it, we just want a backyard!
If this is not allowed than Im sorry, just go ahead and remove it.
USA only please

Can't most people just get their own Newegg Preferred account? What is special about your offer?

my god. you're gonna be paying a dollar a day, a dollar everyday for the rest of your life on stuff like that. not able to get a decent student loan?

Kaiser on Vflyer....Legit?

Sorry if this thread is better suited elsewhere but I am currently shopping
for a good deal on a Kaiser. When using google to shop for the device I see
alot of great deals on Vflyer.com ... But i've never heard of the site before
is this a scam place or did we find some legit deals here? if this place is trying
to steal our money then I'd love some suggestions on good online dealers for US customers.
Thanks for your help guys :3
DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. i was about to fall into these scams, but the October 5th tilt release date saved me. all of them are scams, i even opened a thread about them if you search you can find it. at that time you could buy kaiser from $250-$550. all of them just accept western Union which doesn't have any money back guarantee. and they say they only accept pay pal for mass orders. i emailed almost all of them. i got three different offers from 1 person with same address, most of them are from Oakland.
search the web if you like to know about them, they may even give you a tracking number, whether they made it up or they just sent you an empty package.
dont get yourself in a trouble. I did a lot of research about this.
Thanks alot,
The price was shadey ...$300 kaiser
from a korean whole saler...they emailed
me about my questions and said that they
only sale in bulk but one send me one as a
sample unit but only if I use western union....yeah I think i'll pass.
Does anyone know of a good legit place to get a kaiser for the
500 range? I want this phone with a firey passion but don't want
the ATT version.
Thanks guys!
well, the only way to get it around that price is ebay. you might find a good deal.

Donations for Kaiser purchase to solve the driver issue

Hi all,
So, it was posted at the end of last month that cmonex was willing to lend her expertise to helping address the video driver issue. However, she needed access to a Kaiser to do so.
Now I have heard a lot about her abilities across the fora. I am all for people's efforts to raise awareness and force HTC to address this (see my other post below) but I am also keen to give her a chance to see what she can do.
All it needs is for about 25 people to donate £10 each and we can buy one to send to her. I am happy to organise this, with a purchase via Ebay. However, I am not able to put up the whole amount myself. Also if we club together to fund this, if it doesn't work out, no-one has lost a large amount.
I would purchase it on Ebay and post the auction link here so that all can see the money has been spent as intended.
Post below if you are willing to contribute and once we have enough volunteers, I will identify a suitable auction. Please only post if you are truly willing to part with the money. I know there is the bounty fund but suggestions to use some of that to fund this purchase have fallen flat, and I think we need to organise this properly.
Of course, no one could reply and I'll feel quite embarrased at this post! (Mods, I might call on your pity to remove this if that happens!!) But I figure it's worth a try - if we all do what we can, maybe we can conclude this issue.
PS Don't bother posting to say what's the point. I know we 30days to return, no-one forced us to purchase. I am extremelly happy with this phone and would only consider selling if there was another product exactly the same, only with hardware acceleration support! Just want to get the most from the device we were given. I realise HTC never promised h/w acceleration, and that the chipset just has the capacity. But surely the spirit of XDA-devs is to try optimise the experience we get from our devices?!
I'm in for $20 US
Thanks. No-one else keen to pursue other options? I have confirmed with cmonex that she has not yet got a TyTN 2 to work on...
im in for $25 USD
I'm in for $20 USD
I'll chip in £10
In for $20 USD
As long as people can confirm this is a reputable deal with some chance of success, I am in for £10. I (and I am sure many others) would be reassured if a mod was involved in this thread.
Surur
Count me in for $30 US... as long as we can verify that's he'she is not just trying to get a free Kaiser.
$20 US. Plus some letters to make the post long enough.
Criminy.
$20 here. (and perhaps the chance to be one of the first test dummies?)
refurb tilt?
i know i dont have a premier account, but ive been hearing about people getting tilts for $149.99 which is pretty cheap. Maybe thats an option as well?
We need a two year contract for that.

not really, depending on the agreement between at&t and the company.......u can do a "device only" upgrade several times a year, some even have the privilege of unlimited upgrades.
Fisha21 has a few posts, some questions & others answers so he looks pretty genuine to me (plus he's British so stiff upper lip and fair play old chap ).
I don't have a problem putting in a few quid for this, but I think it might be better to contact Chainfire (as a focal point) and offer the services through his website so we can be publicly seen to be:
a. Disgruntled with HTC.
b. Prepared to take action against HTC.
c. Prepared to find our own solutions - even if this involves costs over and above our original purchase price.
This might even highlight to HTC that we could work with THEM to get a solution which avoids bad publicity, pissed-off-never-to-return customers and ultimately unlocks the real potential of the Kaiser.

Indeed.
I just commented last night on another thread that there was a lack of interest in this thread - looks I am being proved wrong. That works out to about £84, using XE.com to convert USD to GBP. I will lay down £30, which gives about £114 so far.
I fully agree that people need to know I am not just trying to get a free TyTN2! I can post a photo of mine to prove I already have one. Or I am more than happy for a mod/Chainfire to get involved/ be a front person/ takeover...whatever works. I just want to pursue all available options rather than relying on HTC choosing/being forced to help us out.
I did not suggest linking it to the Class Action website as I thought it might be better to keep the two separate. Not sure how it works legally if we get someone to develop software without HTC's involvement. Perhaps if something comes of it, then we can link it - otherwise stay under the radar?
EDIT: Besides, it is thanks to this site that my TyTN2 is running as well as it does - I don't want to get barred from here for scamming members! Where will I get all my cab, ROMs and general software goodies?!
How about this: Put up the paypal account so we can start filling it up. If we can get $7000 pledged, people will probably happily instantly pay anything between 1 and 10 EUR if it increases the chances of us getting decent drivers. 350 people donating 1 EUR shouldn't be to hard to achieve, right?
Even if nothing came out of it, I wouldn't mourn over my euro
Im not dissing this idea, just telling another way to think about this:
The bounty is so big now, that i would think anyone who thinks she or he could possibly pull this off, could buy the Kaiser with their own money.
Anyway if there is no success, selling the Kaiser would bring most of the money back to he or her...
I am certainly not saying that I am going to try and solve this - just trying to facilitate things!
Just thought it would be less of a loss, if things don't work out, if lots of people donate small amounts of money, rather than one person shelling out £300 (although I'm not sure we'd actually get 350 people donating even just 1 Euro).
Also, with someone (very busy) having offered to help us out with this, it seems rude to say "Yes please, but buy your own device to work on". Know what I'm saying?
No-one has to donate to this at all - if there aren't enough people interested, then the idea stops here. However, I am working on setting up a reliable method of collecting the money, so people can be happy it's genuine.
Also, bear in mind this is not likely to be a quick fix, especially as Cmonex is also working on other things (and has a life!). This being the case, if it didn't work, I don't think the TyTN2 would be worth as much at that point, so I doubt the initial outlay would be recovered - hence the thinking that multiple small donations would be better.
Yes, I understand thet buying the phone isnt that big of a deal compared to the problem, but there is also that 7000USD bounty. Thats not small change if someone is able to do it solo.
I would imagine if someone thinks that he or she is able to do this, investing few hundred on a phone what you can sell after, wouldnt be the obstacle in it.
If people want to buy the phone its ok, but I dont know if it really would be necessary...

How cheap for a 16GB TF card in the UK!?

Too good to be true?
£18 delivered in the UK...
He must be good, someone who bought one just after midnight this morning has left feedback before 10am!
Seriously tempted, with Paypal chargeback protection...
ETA: Having reread the auction, this is very odd: "ALL SERIOUS BUYERS PLEASE LEAVE POSATIVE FEEDBACK DIRECTLY AFTER BUY OR I WILL REFUND THANKYOU" hmmm, definitely seems to good to be true!
sounds like a con. people leave feedback then pron dont recieve the item and cant leave bad feedback making more and more people get coned.
i would not risk it
I've risked it!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=260380788555
When I asked him he said he'd sold an iPhone and lost £400 "due to the feedback being stupid".
He's refunded me and cancelled the auction. Some people are no fun.
Who'll be the first to give him some feedback on that one...
he might be doing this to get good feedback.
they refunding u so u dont complain to ebay, then later when he has a lot of feedback try and con someone by selling something or a couple of big things (ps3, cameras, laptops, phones etc) and getting the money and running.
paypal will prob pay some of it back but he will get away with it as only needs fake address and after con cancel card
If that is his plan, he's not that smart about it.
He will have paid fees on all the listings and sales which add up (and I am not going to let him claim them back easily if he tries as he is a non-performing seller).
Better still, his email address has his own domain, a whois on that reveals his name address and telephone number (I don't think he is smart enough to fake them).
He's just had a neg from someone over an iPhone, and positive FB from a memory card buyer, so I don't know if they are happy to have been refunded or are trying to get the sale to keep on track.

there are very stupid people trying to make quick money that, hes just trying to get feedback.
the costs wont worry him if he trys to sell lots of big items. (there was one person sell 6 nokia n95 a while back at £300 a pop. got the £1800 and then canceled the card and ran).
@Grayme,
By accident I found you here. Just wanted to say ´Hello´! It´s a long time ago, since we played with SRS´s TodayPlus...

16GB TF Card
be careful!
it must be a scam!
I searched 16GB TF card on Google and MSN for a long time, the average price is further higher than it! and the lowest one is:
http://www.onthesource.com/16gb-micro-sd-tf-memory-card.html
I think US$63~US$80.00 is reasonable.

I got really badly screwed!

Hi guys,
i recently have tried to buy a car off auto trader and paid via money gram (post office service) and registered the funds to be only available to me.
Anyway the guy i was buying off was a scammer, he obviously made fake I.D and cashed the money before i had a chance to blink...
I really need help getting this money back and any contributions you can offer ill be really grateful even (a few £'s would be great).
Im a student nurse without a car now and really need something to get me from A to B.
if you can spare anything my paypal is [email protected]
regards, dan brown.
Cant you try recover the money using autotrader i'm sure they'll try help Jw what car ??
Is there nothing you can do?
Surely the post office service has some sort of safeguard against this!
Ill send you a few bob when I get my wages in
I'll have some money too if any is going spare... [email protected]
Seriously though, how do we know this is even genuine? And why should I give you money because you weren't careful enough when buying a car? I'm sorry it's happened to you but you should have been more careful.

i understand you lost money, even i did on xda during a trade...but if everyone made a post for it, it would look more out of trying to make money. try talking to western union about it. they may be able to help you
Sorry dude, but that's life. Better to be careful next time you do a transaction.
This kind of threads are not allowed in xda (even in off-topic), first and final warning. Thread closed

I Found A Better Way To Recycle Old Electronics

Hey everyone. I've been coming around these parts for a long time now and I truly love the xda community. So I want to share some info I've recently come across while trying to get rid of my old androids and computers. I wrote all about it already at http://makethebestof.weebly.com/how-not-tos/how-not-to-get-ripped-off-when-recycling. I have found that if you take the time and a little effort, you can make a ton of money off of old or broken android phones. plus, your doing your earthly deeds. done.. dirt... cheap... i apologize.. So here I would like to talk about what we all do with our androids that are too far gone to be sold to places like usell or whatever. So what do you guys all do?
About 60% of my old electronics I give away.
Mostly to my parents when it comes to modern devices (phones, tablets). True, I don't make money off that, but these are the people whose house I live in without having to pay anything. As a result, they're still willing to loan me money for a new device without interest. And it got my dad (who got my S3) to go from 'Smartphones are nonsense, those stupid youths are all obsessed with their phone, even on lunch break, nobody talks anymore!' to him spending 80% of his free time reading on his phone. Bonus!
Anything else that's still useful either finds another home or ends up donated to the Salvation Army.
The rest, I keep. You never know when you may find a use for it, and resell brings you about 5% of the original price here. Not worth it.
I only throw away something if it's completely unfixably dead and I can't find another use for it.
Money has never been of any worth to me other than that I can pay my bills. I'd rather have someone owe me than get a few quid out of it. Much more useful.
