I find this item selling from Ebay, the no is 4180655748.
I cant believe my eyes, Is this real? it is only price for £205.
There is still one left, so I can not connect with other buyers,
I order one immediately, then I have sent some emails to the seller to ask for when he will send the phone after I send the money, but he only keeps asking me to transfer money from Western Union Local agents to his address,
What can I do? it seems that he is trustable from the ebay id record and he has given me his address detail, but I still do not want to do everything in rush.
please help. Thanks.
This is a hijacked ebay account, asking for western union transfer is against ebay policy, report it to ebay and do NOT send one penny to these robbing bastards.
There is an other auction shown up at once after ending of the last one,
although from different seller,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4180688330&category=32242
itemno: 4180688330
The price is £220.
If anyone have bought this one, I think we can match the address of sellers to make sure the fraud.
No need to match them, I have reported numerous frauds on Ebay, its an every day occurence, high value sought after goods selling for silly money, always western union, the address they give doesnt matter becuase they go to the nearest westen union which can be the money shop, or a pawn broker and collect the money just by showing id of the name they give. This is a definite fraud, the new one is also a fraud, either that or we are dealing with a bunch of mentally deficient people that sell goods at half what they could get anywhere.........and always forget to send the goods after payment.
There's a lot of different resellers about and equally many roumers of who's good and who's dodgy at the moment . So that we all know who's who out there, heres a little Thread with Vendor reviews.
If you have something positive or something negitive to say about a seller please say it here.
Also please rate your vendor XX out of 10, I might add a field to the vendor wiki.

I've always used Expansys / MobilePlanet. I'm USA so MobilePlanet.
There is some atrocious whining in their forums from - for want of a better term - EXTRAnoobs.
But in my dealings they are professional, rock solid and I've never had any problems.
Onthegosolutions
I have used Maobile Planet in the past and had no specific problems.
For some years not I have been using OntheGoSolutions and I have been pleased because I always know who I am speaking with. Seems to have very little turnover and they are small enough that I can communicate with one person. They are definitley not the cheapest but have at least twice in the past lowered a price for me when I pointed out an advertised lower price elsewhere.
I bought my Raphael online from Expansys Canada... All I can say is the transaction was very easy, and shipping was SUPER FAST!!!
Ordered it Friday afternoon (approx 3pm), after a small billing problem (I gave them a different phone number from the one on my Credit Card account), confirmed the order on Monday morning at 10am (they aren't opened on weekends), I had the device in my hands Tuesday just before noon...
All in all, besides the phone # problem, I'm very happy with the transaction. It was easy, smooth and fast...
Inkino UK
To all in London and southeast
Eugene at Inkino (I never knew I needed one), 48 Tottenham Court Road www.inkino.co.uk is a mine of information on all things HTC. They are one of the few, if only, HTC Ultimate Partners and it shows.
I have bought my Trinity and now Touch Pro from there.
Yes I could probably get a few pounds off here or there but the service and honest opinions I have had from Eugene and his collegues at the sister branch 9 Great Russell Street mean that I will simply not buy from elsewhere. If I have a problem I know I can call up or drop in and I will speak to someone who knows his products inside out and is a straightforward trader.
Pleasure to do business with.
I ordered mine from Expansys UK. I live in Cyprus and Expansys is propably the best choice. Although I should have used Expansys Cyprus, the UK site was 40 Euro cheaper so I went with them. The service is excellent! Prices are among the best in the market. (630 EURO inc. DHL shipping fees).
They support Paypal, which is a big plus in safety matters, and by using DHL you get your phone in record time.
All in all, i am a happy customer=p
I'm in the US and I bought mine from Clove. A tad more expensive, but I was having problems with Google Checkout (which Handtec uses for overseas orders). Clove was a little slow to receiving my order, but once they did they shipped it out within hours. DHL got it to me in 2 days, all the way from UK to California, and by 10am no less.
One thing about Clove (that I appreciated) is that they require you to confirm the order by calling your CC company and requesting the 6-digit charge authorization number for the charge. Maybe it's an extra hassle, but it's nice to know they're serious about your security.
I would order from Clove again, but of course now I have no money.
I'm in the US and purchased from Smart Mobile Gadgets. All was as they said, including Saturday delivery.
I ordered my TP from On the Go Solutions in July. They said they would call and make sure I still wanted it before they would ship. They also shipped the day the said they would, a month in advance. I am very satisfied with the way they do business.
This is a statement of one set of circumstances and does NOT impute or call into question the credibility or otherwise of this particular organization. There may be an explanation - but so far - my client has not received one.
A client of mine bought direct in a Buy It Now eBay auction from a company with a high level of positive feedback with thousands of positive transactions on eBay. Their public site is - Popular Electronics http://www.popularelect.com.
Approx 24 hours after buying eBay declared the auction NULL AND VOID and advised my client that they do not have to pay. eBay stated:
"As eBay removed the item, you are no longer obliged to send payment for it. Please don't send money or respond to any emails from the seller.
If you've sent payment but haven't received the item, please wait a reasonable period of time for delivery. If you don't receive the item, please contact us again by clicking "Contact Us" on any eBay Help page and selecting the following contact options:
Buying and Finding>Fraud and Payment Concerns for Buyers>Item Not Received or Item Not as Described (you paid)"
My client has called and emailed the company direct and not received any replies.
I've carefully reviewed the eBay email and header codes and believe the email is genuine and not a phish. All the auctions that for TouchPRo's that WERE on ebay from this company have disappeared at 9/3/2008 14:00 EDT.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Has anyone actually baught anything from tigerCellular out there? If so let us know are they real or fake? thanks... im betting the latter but you never know
2call.nl 5/10
Got my TP from 2call.nl
Price without contract (as I use company sim) was good and delivery was very fast.
However, as my TP came with the know problems (GPS instable and hot, black paint falls off,...), I asked 2call within two weeks after pruchase to take my device back and replace it by a new one.
They refused.
As price and delivery is not the only thing I expect from a retailer of a some hundred euro device, I personally will not buy at 2call.nl again.

That is a good deal with the dock as the best price right now for the dock is $45.
Is it Sears themselves that is selling the dock, or is Viewsonic sending one out after purchase?
Just curious, as I haven't seen the dock at any Sears store I've been to lately.

From what I posted, it looks like the latter.

Rebate Form for dock
The rebate form says Jan 2nd through the 8th. They do have a 14 day price guarantee so if you bought in the last couple of weeks you should get the lower price.
Where did you find $379 price a/o 1/2/11
I looked at Sears . com and it still shows $399 w/ rebate for dock.
Can you advise?

When I tried earlier this morning, I searched for Viewsonic, and the search results showed 399. When I clicked on the item to go to the product page, it showed 379.
Jim
Found $379
that is weird, from google search to sears = $379
from sears . com direct = $399
Thanks .. still don't know if I will take the plunge, I am like everyone else on the fence with CES pending.
It comes down to HOW BAD DO I WANT ONE NOW .. am I willing to wait 3 mos+
Appreciate all the posts on this sight!

FYI-
Those of us that got in on the "free dock" rebate at Sears on Thanksgiving are now being asked to pay $10.50 shipping &handling. If it is the same rebate it is through US Merchants not Sears.
I ordered mine on 1/1/11, do i get a free dock?
Just sent mine as well, will let everyone know what happens.
I guess you could always order one from sears - and then just return it. cut your UPC and send in that receipt? or will they check against stock?
UPC is the same on all boxes.... No serial numer on the boxes, so you could just return it unopened. You can't return a box without a UPC code, they do check for that, so you would have to have your old box.

serial number is above the upc code.. not that anyone at sears is gonna look though
Right, but if you return the new one, the receipt doesnt have a serial number so as long as you have a reciept dated 1/2-1/8 + any UPC/Serial, your golden

Silly thought, mayhaps...
But it says a "COPY" of the UPC symbol. Every other rebate I've had has said specifically to send the UPC from the box or to cut out the UPC, etc...
If you can just send in a copy, you don't really need to cut the box or swap boxes or anything of that nature at all.
I would think, anyway.

Rebate information...
Given all of the work the developers have been doing it is nice to be able to add a small contirbution!
I just called the rebate company. Told them I bought my VTab before Christmas and could return it and repurchase it today to qualify for the rebate. I was told that they would honor VTablets purchased from Sears prior to the offer. That I did not need to return it and repurchase to qualify for the rebate. They said they would honor it with my original purchase date.
There are two rebate forms. One on Sears.com that Sears created in-house. The lady at US Merchants (rebate company) said the Sears form forgot to note the $10.50 shipping and handling fee that is required. She said to fill out the rebate as outlined, include copies of your receipt, UPC, etc. and a check for $10.50 (made out to US Merchants) and they will send you a docking station.
I have attached the other rebate form that was origninally made up by US Merchants and can be found on the Sears online rebate site. You can avoid the hassle and just use the one attached.
Hope this helps! Great deal for everyone. BTW - I was just out on Sears.com and the price listed = $379. I'm loving my VTab! Thanks to everyone on this site - especially the developers! You ROCK!!!
I've already succeeded ordering the Nexus 5 16gb, but cancelled it because it won't reach the time before my auntie comes back here in my country, so I ordered the 32gb instead.
a.) I'm originally from the US, on vacation outside the US
b.) Mom and Dad's Credit/Debit Card Visa Issued in America
c.) I assigned the shipping at my Auntie's house
d.) Auntie's going here in my country this 23th (My Birthday, Best Gift I could ever have..)
#1 First time I ordered
-Nexus 16gb, Est. Dec. 13 (then was moved to Dec. 20) cancelled that order. *Has not shipped yet prior to cancelling*
#2 This time
-Nexus 32gb, Est. Dec. 11 (hopefully doesn't get pushed back) waiting *Awaiting Shipment & Charge*
Now my question is:
-I've checked my Google Wallet Account and went into settings, and noticed that my Mom's Debit Card was presented with my Auntie's Name on a preview picture? Will this terminate my order by any means because of the card not belonging to the person's shipping address? (Debit Card belongs to my Parents, but the address it shipped to my Auntie) Will there be a problem with this? *Really hope my order doesn't get rejected because of that*
Extra Sidekick Question:
-I cancelled my Nexus 5 16GB order on Google Play, but in the bank statement, the Nexus 5 16GB charge+shipping+tax fee is still Pending? I've cancelled the order already, should I contact my parent's bank to inform them about this cancellation or will Google be the ones themselves to remove the pending status?
Anyways, thanks everybody really appreciate your help and future answers.

To answer your Extra Sidekick Question,
The pending charge is just that. It will drop off automatically if the merchant does not notify the 3rd party payment processor that the order is confirmed. I cancelled a few orders in the last two years and have had this happen. So don't worry about it. It will disappear soon. Usually 3-6 days after order cacellation.

Thanks Paisan, I'm relieved now that the Pending Charge disappeared. Can I ask you for some help again if you don't mind?
-I cancelled the Black 16GB and instead ordered the Nexus 5 32GB Black Variant instead, it's written in my Google Play Order Receipt *No Email Shipment Verification Yet :[* that the Order (Ordered it on Dec. 6) "Leaves warehouse at Dec. 11" <<< Does this statement mean that it will ship as stated Dec. 11? Cause my aunt is going back here to Philippines on the 21th (I chose 3-5 business days shipment $9.99/Aunt lives in CA *should the shipment be fast since she lives in CA?) and I could use her transportation instead of using a freight forwarder saving me some money shipment and a lot less worry, really hope soon the transaction gets charged to guarantee a sure buy.
*Used Parents US Debit Card
*Shipped to Aunt's House
*Inserted Billing+Shipping Address of my Auntie (Will this affect the transaction even though the CC Billing Address is in another city of CA Aunt Address > Esco CC Billing Addres > San Diego)
Sorry for asking too much, kinda worries me that time is ticking and approaching that my aunt flight is just around the corner, and I'll be very busy in next coming days so I won't be able to touch the computer/internet for about less than a week, anyways, Thanks for helping.

It's hard to say. When my N5 shipped, it shipped almost a week before the stated date. But just know that it is not Google who warehouses, packs, and ships the phone. It is a third-party subsidiary owned by UPS, called UPS Supply Chain Solutions (UPS-SCS). Google just handles the administrative part of it. Similar to what Amazon does. You may see alot of items "Sold by so and so but fufilled by Amazon." The so and so person owns the product but Amazon warehouses, packs, and ships those items for them.
Based on past experience and posts on this forum, noone can truly trust the estimated ship date. The Nexus 4 launch last year was way more evident. Myself and thousands of others were told it would be shipped and delivered in 3-5 days. Five weeks later I finally received it. I have read forum posts on here of people having their phones ship a week or more after the estimated ship date. It is hit or miss. And many people blame Google, not knowing the shipping logistics, but honestly it falls in the lap of UPS-SCS.
Regarding the question of the credit card address... If you had the billing address and shipping address separate in Google Checkout, then it "should" go through. Most banks just want the billing address and phone # to match. Again, with the N4 and the Nexus charging orb, i was able to successfully have them shipped as a gift to a girlfriend's address 40 miles away, but charged to the debit card assigned to my home address (my bank is Chase).
Honestly, IMO, if time were such a constraint like this, regardless of stated shipping dates, I would have opted for at least the 2 Day shipping for a few dollars more.
I am sorry I couldn't help more, but I hope some of this long post made sense LOL
Verizon has an online deal at the moment where the Moto Insta-Share Projector is free when you purchase any Moto-Mod!
The cheapest Moto-Mod available that is in-stock is the Kate Spade Style Shell for $39.99. Plus shipping is FREE.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/moto-mods/
Notes:
* You do not need to have a Verizon phone to purchase accessories on the Verizon site.
* This CAN be combined with an employee discount if you currently get a discount on your Verizon bill through your employer, however you may need to add it to your cart BEFORE you log in, otherwise it may only show a 25% discount instead of the free projector offer. With my employee discount the case is only $29.99. Not all employee discounts include discounts on accessories.
I really want it but it is impossible to order it outside US. They want to confirm the order by calling to Verizon (no problem at all) but when I call there they want scan of my ID and social number....Sorry but I am from Europe...
Another sweet deal but only for America...
