Thinkpads Forum

Hi all,

Guys I live in Brazil. I saw lot of excellent prices on ebay, from for example newthinkpads user.
I am planning to travel to USA in september. I will go to Miami (first time there!). But I dont know if the prizes from that guy are available also on physical stores ? If so, which ones in Miami ? If not, how do I buy it and get it delivered somewhere there in a short sejour (no more than a week there?) Please I am with that dilemma of not knowing how to buy I fortunately have the money :p

The prices in local stores are not good at all.
And usually the ebay sellers only wish to send the items to a confirmed address (which requests a bank account opened in the US and linked to your shipping address) to get seller protection.
I think the only way you can have it done is asking someone in the US to book it in advance and ship it to you later once you arrive. Hope it works for you.

Chairsky, thank you for your reply !
The seller is an international seller. I wonder if it is possible to make the product be sent to the hotel where I will be ? Or is there any "virtual post address" or something ? I dont know anyone there unfortunately

If the seller can ship it to Brazil, then you can ask him to do so, which should solve the trouble

Well shipping would increase the price by 150u$ + 60% tax.
Bringing directly from USA with my luggage is legal and would even pay the airplane ticket
