bump... replaced modified Chinese power cord with a new, North American power cord.

open to haggling, I'm not sure what it's worth so make an offer

Original branded Lenovo Soleil E600 laptop for sale. $800 CAD OBO including expedited shipping within Canada and ConUS (insurance and tracking included). As this is not the first laptop I have which was made by Lenovo (formerly Legend), I can atest to their solid build and quality. Haven't had...

So can you tell me where it belongs? :) thanks You're absolutely correct, he is not obligated to sell it to me, but as a good trader by offering it to me first, he will give me a reasonable amount of time to reply him about the final offer (ie: say one day, or half a day) while telling the...

Unless I had taken the seller to great lengths about shipping info, etc, and then backed out, I don't think there would be much of a problem as you say. He would sell it to the next person, unless he didn't have another seller waiting. Again, here's the thing: why wouldn't he confirm with me...

Yea that was the stupidest thing I said IMO. Nothing can be done about that now. You mean I should ask for a phone number? I've never done that nor has anybody asked that from me when doing an Internet trade. Is that a common practice that I don't know about? Can you better explain what...

Yea you're right. My greeting was definitely off colour. It was a childish way to respond to his "no sport heres the deal" Re-reading post #3 ... I honestly didn't intend to be rude, but I see your point about how it could be mistaken. Sorry.

I'm sorry you don't see anything wrong with that. In my world, when you say something that means you do it. I'm not going to bother going into legalities of the situation because the law largely doesn't apply online, or is difficult to enforce (of course legally we had a contract since I...

True, he can do as he pleases. However when he says he will ship to me and I accept his offer, that is the legal basis for a contract and at that point, the item is as good as sold. And not even that, let's not talk about legalities... it's just plain logic and courtesy that if you say...

Here's an update. His reply is quite rude. I tried to explain to politely explain the situation to him but it looks like he is uninterested in reason. Be careful of who you are dealing with; if something goes wrong with your trade, this is the type of person you will be facing.

Since I posted first in the thread and PM'd you with my intent to purchase your mini-itx system, I feel disappointed and mislead that after working on details of the deal, you simply backed out without any proper explanation or prior notification. This is bad trading practice. Hopefully you will...

Final note regarding post #2 ... the good name he seems to have worked for isn't holding up. I feel very let down by how this transaction has fallen apart and think it is only fair to warn others via a neutral feedback.

Here's what happened: I was going to buy the mini-itx system being sold by OHL in this thread http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=918723 Having posted in the thread and private messaging that I want to buy the system, I thought the deal was almost done. I asked him if he's willing to...

Posted in wrong forum... sorry.
