Toshiba Auction..

[Mick_rw]

For those who are looking for laptops, here is a web site (http://www.auctions.toshiba.co.uk/) where Toshiba sell of returned laptops, some go at silly prices...... :D You need to register with them for free, no credit card details are asked for unless you want to bid on a piece of kit. These are items that have been returned by customers, where they are refurbished then sold on....

I presume thatit's a weekly thing ?? (All the current auctions seem to end on Friday)

Might well be worth popping in of Friday to have a look...it'll be interesting to see what they go for :thumb

Not now you have told everyone about it :D ... or maybe they will be even sillier prices?

found the site a couple of days ago, saw a piece of kit I wanted, starting price was £100, until some idiot bid against himself and banged the price up to £775 and no one else was bidding for it, mind you the price of a new one was £1300. So will just wait to see if another one appears on the site.

Well Fanum won't be bidding early on anything - the 16th is Thursday :confused:

I've got (*cough* the company bought and I took control of) one of them Libretto U100 gadges that they are starting off at £100. They are a functional Windows XP machine (with a titchy keyboard admittedly) but they double as a DVD player without starting the machine using that media base thing. Worth getting one to carry on the bike at a couple of hundred pounds... You can always get a bigger USB keyboard like this (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=45627&criteria=Full%20Size%20Keyboards&doy=13m3) if you want to touch type.

one of the original Libretto's and it is still working ok.....a bit slow with XP but brilliant with Linux....you didn't get the one that has just gone did you?

No, my employers paid full price as soon as I discovered they had been released. I missed the chance of the original version and I wasn't missing this one.
