Why is it that people always give me offers after I've sold things?

fatreg
Posted by amnesia
offered 310 delivered so far. (The BIN is only 330)
At least thats a start.
@brown, trust me, it's one purchase you wont regret, Mac Mini's let you do everything easily.
Burn, Blog, Make Music, Make DVDs, Make Movies, rip, fast internet. It's the ultimate media center.
Hook it up to a tv, you've got a High Def DVD player with OS support!
Don't want to use OSX? No matter, just install VirtualPC and you can install Windows XP.
I'm telling you, I will seriously regret having to get rid of this gem, however
Im'forced to and sadly too many people promise to buy it and then back out *sigh*
AND it's all MINT boxed.
There'll be a use for it for sure.
Edit:
if you are worried about setting it up. Mac's can't be any easier.
It's just plug it in, switch it on and you're off!

the mac mini fully boxed,
the apps
and the dock
the vga cable is 8 pounds more.
I'm not selling the wireless keyboard or mouse.
You can get them for like 10 pounds a tescos now (obviously non-apple)
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
i think solid was just looking for a steal
Posted by amnesia
this is still a steal....
My deals are always much lower than what you would get anywhere else, but sadly people cry once it's gone.
Posted by brownlad007
so what would i get for £310 ?
Posted by amnesia
almost everything..
Quote:
the mac mini fully boxed, (so mac mini, Display adapter, wifi, power, manuals cds, everything)
the apps (on cd and some on Mac mini itself)
and the dock (which itself is an amazing little thing.)
the vga cable is 8 pounds more.

Posted by brownlad007
what about the keyboard n mouse
Posted by amnesia
Mac Mini's do not come with keyboards and mouses in the first place.
I have a wireless keyboard and mouse but they cost me 90 pounds so I cannot include them.
You can buy a wireless keyboard and mouse at tesco for around 10 pounds.
Posted by brownlad007
the keyboard and mouse would be nice
Posted by amnesia
I'd suggest going on ebay and trying to get one.
I just can't honestly lose 90 pounds.... on top of the 300+ I'm already losing..
Posted by haynesycop
@brownlad you are getting an amazing deal already £310 is a bargain! Apple wireless keyboard and mouse can be picked up relatively cheaply.
Sorry to intrude on your sale amnesia!
Posted by solidsingh
bav jus buy it, good deal , good machine
Posted by brownlad007
i wan2, ill need a tft though
Posted by amnesia
you won't need a tft if you use get the vga cable which I'm also selling.
You can use your tv as a monitor.
Don't forget you're getting this at a way cheap price, so you could always buy a monitor if you like from ebay.
My friend bought a 19inch for his Mini for 70 pounds, it was a bit old, but a screen is a screen.
edit:
@copper, thanks for supporting that fact
@solid, thanks as well.
However I should mention I was offered 310.
330 is the BIN, so
I guess if Brown hits 320 then it'll go to him unless someone goes for the BIN straight away.

Posted by brownlad007
oh, fort it was still @ 310.. ill leave then
Posted by amnesia
LOL over 10 pounds? *sighs*
edit:
if this is an attempt at haggling, there is a time to strong arm and a time to accept that you are getting a great deal.
You said that it wasn't a case of the money when it was at 340..
I simply do not understand why people on the forum always try to get things at remarkably impossible deals.
(e.g. something is 800 pounds, someone is selling it for 300, people complain it's not cheap enough)

Posted by brownlad007
lol "*sighs*" why dont you just sell for 300 then? only £10 *sigh*
Posted by amnesia
because I've already gone down so much!
for me it's not a matter of 10 pounds anymore it's a matter of 50!!!
You could just say, ok you've reached 290, why not 280 it's 10 pounds, ok now it's 280, why not 270, it's only 10 pounds....
edit:
@brown, obviously you can relate to my situation. Put yourself in my position.

Posted by WelshTom
come on borwnlad this is clearly a great deal! either buy it or stop wasting amnesia's time - we have all sold stuff on here so we all know what a pain it is when someone wastes your time and strings you along! if i needed anoth pc/mac then i would have bitten anmesia's hand off at this price!
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
yeh just buy it and stop being so fussy its only like 10-20 quid not exactly going to break the bank and its a bitchin investment they sell for like 390 on gaybay
Posted by brownlad007
i would buy it but its just not as good as a pc or has the amount of ports i require
Posted by amnesia
I don't know how it's not as good as a pc it loads and runs programs much faster and more efficiently than a pc.
Any Mac user will tell you that.
1.42ghz G4 is equivelant to a high end normal pc.
As for ports, it has speaker, usbs, monitor, firewire, ethernet and dialup.
If you mean it doesn't have enough USB ports for you, Most pc's don't have more than four usbs and you can get a USB 'splitter' for around 5 pounds.
Posted by fatreg
my 2ghz mac whips the arse of my old 3.4ghz pc.
my old pc even had like 1.5gb ram whereas my mac has a measly 512mb but again apps open and close and run a hell of a lot quicker on this that then did on my pc..
itll be the best move you ever take brownlad, macs are gonna take over the world.
fatreg
Posted by amnesia
thanks for those wise words indeed Fatreg.
Anyway, If this is bought, it could arrive Saturday if I send it out tomorrow.

And this is coming from the guy who was so unsure about getting one just as you are know, if the usb thing is worrying you then there is no need at all, like amnesia said £5 maximum for a usb splitter on ebay.
I have not known one person who regrets changing over, they are fabulous!
Posted by fatreg
that annoys me!
the mac mini comes with 4 usb ports where as my mac only comes with 3!!
tsk.
good job i use a wireless mouse and keyboard!
@ brownlad, for £310 you really really really cant go wrong. as miss c, i was soo soo worried about getting a mac, thinking i was just about to waste £1300 on a pc that was so less specced than my pc i had to iht myself a few times, but it was well worth it, i will never ever go back to pc as long as i can afford macs silly prices!!
fatreg
Posted by solidsingh
miss c, im your first then
i had a powerbook for a week, as much as i liked it i still preferred my pc even though the mac was probably faster, but thats because it hardly runs any software
Posted by fatreg
depends on what sw you wanna use solid..
ive not had any probs changing to a mac, granted sw is as easily accessiable as pc sw is but thats the beauty, only a small amount means its even better than pc sw.
like, ive got delicious library for my mac, never ever ever seen owt like that for pc, i reverted to using excel....
wheres the fun in that?
i should have ha da nightmare changing to macs as ive only ever used windows from 3.1 right up to vista beta 1.
and when you start macs are frsutrating as they are soo simple to use. its just drag and drop on a mac, its heaven.
i wouldnt go back now.
fatreg
Posted by haynesycop
Ok first off you can running 99.9% of programs on a mac and even if you can't there is always and alternative and they are usually better. There are thousands of programs you just need to find them.
That is all i am going to say as i do not want to get into a flaming war about whats best and what isn't. This is amnesia's sale thread and i think it is better for us to go somewere else and talk about this.
Good luck with the sale, i would try ebay although there is a chance of getting timewasters you will get the price you want there i am sure even after fees.
Posted by solidsingh
a mac is perfect for what bav needs it for, jus not for me tho
Posted by fatreg
exacly miss c,
back to thead, £310 for this beat is a bargain,
shame i dont have £310 or i could put this beauty in my lounge...
fartreg
Posted by amnesia
you guys were like me two years ago.
I was totally unconvinced, but when I saw that all of the popular apps including MS apps were available for the mac, I just switched.
Note:
If there are any members (which I feel can be trusted) that really want this, I could take two payments, spread across now and the 25th?
that's two installments of 160
Posted by amnesia
as usual, the person who offered 310 now says he 'only has 280' which means nothing to me *sighs* I even offered installments, so either people are all talk or born in this world to simply disappoint me.
screw it, offers above 300, highest offer by sunday gets it, be it 300 or 3 million.
(please go up by increments of 5)
Posted by solidsingh
300!
Posted by p900 lover
amnesia good luck with this, its terrible how ppl offer a xxx amount and when its time to pay they back out.
If only you was selling this a month or so down the line cos i would so have it but at the moment got exams so cant work to pay 4 it lol
Good luck anyway
Posted by amnesia
@ p900, the final date I could receive payment (and send it out) is the 24th (since I'll hopefully be gone on the 25th.)
So if people are 100% serious and will not back out, place a bid and I can wait, just as long as it's paid for somewhere down the line.
Actually, if someone is 100% serious and needs until the 23-24th to pay, then I can hold it with a 40 pound non-refundable deposit? (what do you all think? That'll keep away the people who are not serious
)
At the moment Solid is at 300. I'm sorry solid for causing you to bid more than a couple of times, I at least am confident that you wont back out.
Posted by solidsingh
be quick to let me no if its mine tho, i trade a lot, some days my accounts empty some days its not
so plz let me know asap
Posted by amnesia
of course I will, I promise I will not extend the deadline.
I've also decided to sell the wireless mouse only for 29 pounds fully boxed and delivered.
Posted by brownlad007
305
Posted by brownlad007
mate. add me on msn. want to sort a deal asap
Posted by amnesia
please pm me your email address
edit: added you.
I've pmed you mine as well.
I guess you are not there and I'll chat with you in the morning.
