has anyone any experience with the unbranded budget external hdd that are all over ebay?
such as this one? 4TB for £20 appears a bargain or a con and i'm guessing it's too good to be true.
I have a slightly used bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you...

I wouldn't buy anything from Shenzhin, China, Hong Kong, etc..
I also wouldn't try to shop cheaply on eBay, reputable brands and reputable sellers only.

My brain agrees, although my heart wishes it wasn't so.

A possible cheaper option if you have some hard drives laying around, you can buy a SATA to USB/microUSB/USB-C adapter cable and use those drives. I have one, I think I paid about $5 USD for it.

I don't want to have to pay £549 for this device, particularly since it's only $529 in the USA (!!). I'm guessing that Carphone Warehouse will keep the phone at this overpriced level for as long as possible though.
Has caught any mention at all of how long this exclusive deal with Carphone Warehouse will last?
Carphone Warehouse is owned by Best Buy so prob exclusive to them the same amount of time it is to Best Buy. Could be a while.
Try ebay, you might find a cheaper price.

eBay is a good idea, however it seems unlikely that people will be buying from Carphone Warehouse (the only place to buy) to then sell off cheap on eBay. I guess some people may import them, dodge the VAT, then sell cheap on eBay.
Ordered mine from CPW on the day it was announced. After import duty and delivery and waiting for them to show up on eBay I doubt it would be cheaper, and £550 is still cheaper than an iPhone4.
Phoned the local store it's being delivered to today and they don't know when it will be there so just have to wait for the head office to send it out and let me know.

I am looking for this cradle from anywhere that accept Paypal but except mobilefun.co.uk.
I haven't managed to find any though. If anyone found one or similar (but with audio jack and headphone external jack like that one), let me know.
Yeah my eye also on this cradle. Unfortunately I haven't found it on ebay either. Mobilefun only has it. I hope Chinese guys wake up immediately and see this
mobilefun will stock it in 2 days but I'm not willing to buy anything from a shop which uses discrimination policy (higher price for non-UK buyers) when others sell at the same price. Since they are all Chinese, let's wait and see, maybe they appear somewhere else as well.

Hey! We're just getting our own back. Normally we (in the UK) pay MORE than non-UK peeps for the same thing. The usual story is that something that costs $10 in the US will cost £10 here. When the exchange rate is £1=$1.50!!!!
And I can't see the different pricing. I put one in my 'cart' and asked for international delivery and it was just a few pence more than delivery in the UK .... and they HAVE to charge more for international delivery than UK delivery seen as how they're a UK company.
Or have I missed something?

You are missing something.
Of course delivery price will be higher depending on the destination. The price difference I mention is not in regards to exchange difference. I mean that you buy a DHD for example which is shown GBP470, if I buy it from outside UK, they will convert it to somewhere around GBP560 although this is not the real exchange rate. I contacted them and they state this as a policy. mobilefun and expansys does this so I am not shopping from them. handtec and a few other shops don't do this. I bought my DHD for GBP470 form them at that price and the loss of currency convertion will be something that I either win or lose during payment from my bank account and it wil not be so significant, maybe a few pounds.

Oh, I see what you're saying. But that's just what we Brits have had to put up with for years so I have no sympathy for that particular problem. Hope you get the best deal you can though.

Was interested in this but £20+ seems quite steep for a piece of plastic, a USB cable and a battery connector.

I'm sure this is the same if not a similar product if your looking for a Paypal compatible seller.
Anybody know of a cheaper version of the product without the extra battery charger?

these floating around eBay but worry about the transfer speed / reliability of the product.

as an experienced ebay user in both selling and buying, you will be hard pushed to find something cheap that is shipped quickly AND is of good quality, better to spend more and get it from a reputable supplier
I'm planning to buy a laptop from Amazon or eBay. I've never bought something from the internet. Is it certain that what I order will be delivered? What should I do if the laptop does not come? Is there a chance that I will lose my money? I don't want to just throw 700$ out of the window.

Amazon is what I'd go with to have the "real store" experience, fulfilled by Amazon and brand-new. Ebay is not that risky. I've been buying on Ebay for many years. Once a seller went out of business when I ordered an air compressor. Another time someone sold me a counterfeit Kensington micro SD card. Ebay took care of it quickly both times. My favorite Ebay purchases are my Fender G-Dec amplifier (new) and an Ibanez RG350 guitar (used). You're not likely to lose your money, however I recommend buying new computers. Be sure to check your seller's feedback.
Hi,
I looked up the whole Internet and i am searching for the silver power button, because mine is get lost while repairing the usb port...
I am from germany and the only shops where i found this part, where in china or usa, with about 25$ shipping costs for a 2$ part.
Does anyone know a good shop in europe, where i could purchase parts?

I would try. My experience so far with Chinese sellers is absolutely positive.
eBay has them for around $815 with a US seller. Is there any option that may be a bit cheaper yet still reputable?

You can also try Clove, they are selling it for 649.17GBP and that's roughly 840USD. (If you're not in UK, the price excludes VAT)
They come with warranty too and reputable.

Bought mines off of Swappa for $815 new, a couple on there went for cheaper than that.
