Ah, the Lynching Brigade is out in force today I see. It's always amazing how they seem to only pop in for threads like these. . . .

They must have a Controversial Thread Radar.

...or, maybe they are the ones trolling.

perhaps IndianJewel should ask to have this topic renamed "trash briand's attitude", and conduct his sale on a less cluttered thread.

I like turtles.

PS - if I was wanting to sell my N800, this forum is where I'd start. $180 for an N800 is a pretty fair price, too.

With many good wishes for success to the seller (originator of this hijacked thread), I couldn't help get in a dig as a person (tablet noobie) who liked this board/community SO much I took the plunge and ordered a NEW 800 the other day. To see this kind of hard-nosed attitude is a bit disappointing. Fortunately, this kind of thing accounts for far less then 1% of posts I've seen to date, so here I stay.

And hey, IndianJewel might be a noob or an opportunist, but he ain't no dummy - this forum is a GREAT place to offer this piece of tech for sale. Sadly, he'll likely have to start a new thread to find someone who won't get sucked into this vortex ;-)

Well, I have a few offers and hoping that it works over over next couple of days. I will wait to come back with maybe another version of the tablet later. but for now its good bye.

I dont mean to jump into the fray, but he has a very valid point. Well I agree that anyone should be able to join, even if only to sell their equipment.

I personally would not purchase anything from someone in these threads, who had a post count of 1 on a sale thread. We used to be overwhelmed with people signing up and pasting ads selling all kinds of stuff. Of course I would not send money to Nigeria either.

I think pointing out the concern to other users is very valid.

TRUST NOBODY!!

The best thing to do in situations like this is to use a broker, like escrow.com so then nobody gets scammed.
