Are You Kidding Me?

#1 Post by NorrisCell » Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:04 am

I understand value is all in the eye of the buyer, but come on now...

X20 for sale

Don't spend $500+ on an ultraportbale with a measly 9" screen!

The sad part is that there are actually folks out there that would pay that kind of $$ for it, and the seller knows it.

I find it interesting that the pictures show a DVD/RW drive, not a CDRW/DVD drive, yet the screen shot of the drives capabilities list it as a CDRW/DVD.

Not to mention the broken plastics...

I was once haggling with a used car dealer over a car I wanted to purchase. I was explaining to him that the car wasn't worth near what he was asking and he told me "There's a [butt] for every seat. Someone will buy it at that price, even if they shouldn't"

Same thing applies here. Someone will be drawn in by the fancy wording and not do their research.
