carl0s Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Dell Inspiron 8600 This machine is used, but in exceptionally good condition. I'd say it's in 'brand spanking' condition, but there are a couple of minute (very tiny.. half centimetre) scratches on the lid. This machine has an incredible battery life of up to ~5hr.

Todd Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 How much you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well I'm telling people ~£390, because I always get knocked down. Realistically I want £360 including delivery. Remember that delivery costs me £15 for regular next-day, and I'm offering a Saturday delivery on this, which will no doubt cost more. Pictures to follow. I sold my decent camera and the AAAs are recharging for my other one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supralookin Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Todd, You'll be lucky to receive a reply from Carl0s today. He didn't get off to bed till 7 am this morning. Up taking drugs all night again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Just pray it does not go through Coventry sorting "Central Hub" if it was posted. We have had some good gear nicked from there, too much to be a coincidence. I belive there are bastarrds their making a good income on the side from selling on stolen goods. Everything we had nicked had weired tracking, showing it going to odd places. On investigation, the goods went missing at Coventry but had a false/ghost trail to the main destination sorting office. One one accasion we got the packing delivered minus the expensive item inside. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Cheers for the good news, not only is the laptop I bought for my missus not going to turn up for xmas but it may not turn up at all. Yup, warm and cosy feeling aint exactly happening right now:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supralookin Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I don't believe that boy! His phone has been cut off (mailed me early this morning saying he forgot to pay the bill! lol) and he's probably still in bed. He was supposed to be at mine now. Guess I'm gonna have to start without him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Got damn it? WTF has happened? Are you winding me up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 holy shit. the tracking system says it's in Birmingham. I am really really sorry Mark. There is absolutely no good reason why they should have fucked up. All I can suggest is that you insist they get a same-day courier to deliver it to you but I'm not sure how likely they are to do that I'm so so sorry.

carl0s Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 The tracking systems says 'current - Edinburgh'. I wonder if it is actually in Edinburgh and they have just cocked up their monitoring? http://www.business-post.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/ws_cnsghistdetwinviewlite.html?lc_ConsignmentKey=5021541137 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Dropped you a mail, still in Birmingham I'm afraid. Let me know when it's going to get delivered, off to explain to erindoors or buy something nice from the petrol station, that never fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Any joy? Not had an answer from the Manchester depot so far but I presume they should be open today. I'm holding on the main enquiry line in the hope I can get a number for Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
