Brand New N900 For Sale
 
3 Attachment(s)
Okay, a little history lesson is in session. I have been craving to get my hands on an N900, checking every single day for news on availability from last october. I was on this forum all the time! Watching the post counts go up and up on the 'now available' and 'now shipping' threads. Reading on all the fantastic things this phone can do. But I finally got hold of one a week ago, and before opening it up, I thought I might just check out my friends thoroughly, just to make sure I'm not making a mistake, and unfortunately, I just did not get on with it, My email was slow and laggy, simple tasks I was used to on other nokia devices just weren't there. It was running the latest PR1.1 firmware, but I'm not up for being a beta user. So I have mine for sale. Its unlocked obviously, and comes with everything you should expect it comes with, all unopened, except for the box which I had to open to double check that everything was in fact present. I am sellilng for £430 inc. royal mail special delivery, and will only ship to U.K. Payment by BT. You can request further details to double check authenticity if need be. Pictures attached.
Offers are welcome.

Available from me on amazon.co.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...3LB&sn=M.Moosa

Well, we exchange details (address, landline, email, mobile...etc), check that my bank account is where I say it is and correlates to my city/town and that my landline does as well. Check until you are happy, then once payment is made and confirmed in my A/C, it will be posted out. :-).

Hmmm, if you don't sell at 390, why would you sell at original price? :eek:

mmoosa 2010-02-10 14:22

Re: Brand New N900 For Sale
 
because, im giving people a window to get it cheaper, and a personal loss to myself. but if no takers then original price stands. Quick bargain so to say.

Re: Brand New N900 For Sale
 
damn thats about $600 US dollars. Here in the US they sell for about $450. I guess they have a higher value in the UK.

mmoosa 2010-02-11 23:23

Re: Brand New N900 For Sale
 
yeah well, we get taxed heavily. same goes for the nexus one, sells for $450 but after taxes n stuff we get charged £410. Not too good eh?

Not good.

But I don't think you're gonna have much luck on here so it's probably the best idea.

Re: Brand New N900 For Sale
 
I think you should recreate another thread, and put "UK" in the title. This sounds like a good deal for someone in UK.

Schedule it here for 7 or 10 days before you move it to Ebay and mention this fact in the thread.

Ok, will do, thanks! Its sitting on my desk boxed and unused, when someone can be enjoying it. especially at this price! :-D

What I don't understand is why someone would sell only to the UK? Are you not part of the EU? We have money in the rest of Europe too you know.

Delivery is a pain! but if the buyer is willing to pay for the delivery costs to the eu then by all means! :)

@mmoosa

there are a lot of guys here who have a lot of ecommerce experience. I would NEVER repeat NEVER buy from someone I do not know via bank transfer (!)

To make your offer more attractive you might offer paypal payment. this way if the phone does not arrive the poor buyer can at least get his money back. But be sure so that YOU are also safe only ship it to registered pay pal addresses. Or do a physical delivery and cash payment. This would be my prefered method.

btw. i am not in for a new n900 ;) as I already bought mine - in the US where it is cheaper and you don't get ripped of by the tax ppl

@all
don't buy from someone you do not know via bank transfer unless you are a speculator :cool:

Absolutely agree, i would never pay someone i dont know, thats why I have it listed on amazon.co.uk so buyers will have security, and so will I. But the price is slightly higher on there due to the fees.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...3LB&sn=M.Moosa

Absolutely agree with you on the points made! :-)

Is this branded to vodaphone?!?!?

If so then it's not worth that price

mmoosa 2010-02-12 12:46

Re: Brand New N900 For Sale
 
Nope not branded to vodaphone. But came from vodafone, checked with them and it is not branded and same is said on the support forum
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.ph...dpost&p=331153

Thanks.

vodafone dont brand n900s

no n900 is branded but that is for a different topic alltogether

this n900 is a very good price and iam sure it would sell on ebay with paypal payment

only thing with ebay is you will pay to list the item , you pay when the item sells , then you have to pay to use paypal

out of a 390 pound deal you will be looking at about , 1.50 to list with pics , about 3-5 pound ebay charges when the item sells then about 7 pounds paypal charges so roughly around 12-15 pounds fees on that phone

i sell alot of phones on the old ebay and its a good place to sell them just make sure the buyer has a paypal verified account so you are protected yourself

nice one mate good luck with the sale

You guys are really helpful! Thanks all...! I prefer amazon though as I use them for literally everything I buy and I'm familiar with them. You are protected by their A-Z protection against fraud and things. I've never had a problem buying from Amazon marketplace before.
Thanks again though.

Sold on amazon at £400.

Thanks though!
