Tell me what you think

Ok, so there truly is a LOT of crap on Ebay, but this caught my eye:

High-rated seller, who sells phones (in the past as well - his account doesn't seem to have been hijacked), claims he has a 6260. What do you think? Also I'm curious about this Motorola V3 Razr thing he's selling too, anyone else heard of it - Motorola users out there?

I'm not buying any of this stuff, in fact I'm keeping my 6230 until the 6260 becomes mainstream, and definitely not spending any stupid amounts of money on a phone again.

Also, your views on the new 5140 - I haven't seen one yet, but it looks like a good replacement to the 5100 and 5210.

unless he can provide pics, dont believe him, hacking ebay accounts are somehow easy these days...alot of scammers around

[DEViANT]

Yes, that's my point, but usually when an account is hacked and then sells high value things like phones or laptops, it's obvious because that seller used to sell things like teapots and clearly has no understanding of technical things, then suddenly has lots of high-value technical things for sale.

This person has been selling phones all his Ebay career and still is selling phones, even lower-value ones (which scammers don't normally do). I'd just like to watch it and see how it goes. Either way, I still want to see a 6260 in the flesh (and also put to rest the RS-MMC/MMC card slot issue).

£430 :|? Does anyone know what the starting price was?...

[Ruler_70]

I dont know if i understood you right Deviant but yes the Motorola V3razor does exist:

If i misunderstood you, i apologise

[DEViANT]

Start price was 99p.

I thought the Razor did exist, but I felt it was kept pretty quiet - I hadn't seen any reviews or previews to date.

Anyway, the seller doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about. I asked him if the 6260 took RS-MMC or MMC and he said 'um, MMC I think'. Well, if you have the damn phone, why don't you have a look at it...

Deviant:

Check out this link for the mobile-review.com review of the Rzr3

[DEViANT]

I know, you just posted that link last time as well, and I've seen it. Thanks.

[phones4u]

guys i hate scammers but one thing we all need to remember is that the v3 is available anytime now and this guys prob a his hands on some and as for the 6260 thats out anytime soon along with the 6630 for the start of q4 today. plus ebay are very good with catching hijacked accounts these days.

I would say this is genuine also hijackers dont go into as much detail and the same terms of sale remain the same throughout each of his sales.


just a thought

[DEViANT]

The other option, of course, is a genuine seller gone bad with greed... they're much harder to track down.

Anyway, I posted it here for interest, I'm not buying it so I have nothing to fear. My 6230 will keep me happy for sometime to come. If the link suddenly stops working in a day or two, then you'll know it's because Ebay have killed the auction.

[cdover]

Start price was 99p.

Oh. That sort of says something...

[DEViANT]

Well, I start my auctions at 99p normally because then the fees are minimal.

It's over 400 pounds ?! .. way expensive. As Deviant said, he asked him a question about the MMC type that it carries, his answer seems like some one who doesn't know or didn't look up the phone. He didn't post any live pics of the phone with its selling box, how can it be genuine post? Anyways, I don't trust Ebay sellers, scamming is mostly the word in the air at that site.

[MikeUK]

Whoa, is it just me or is this a tad bit expensive, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30389&item=6319842757

[Ahmad007]

Way expensive! You can get 2 Powerfull Laptops with that amount of money.

i emailed him to ask how he got hold of the phone and why there weren't any actual photos of it on the and he replied that he would be getting stock of it in october ! so he's advertising something he doesnt even have

[Ruler_70]

Thats ridiculous! That phone for that price better come with a free house or something :)
