Holy F-ing Shizznit. That's cheap!!!

[Martin]

Well, I've been trying to get a used PDA for about $50, but with no luck. Today I spoke with a friend who's in Saudi Arabia and he told me PDAs are EXTREMELY cheap there. I asked how cheap, and he goes (get this) NO MORE THAN $50!!!!!

He's gonna check for me tomorrow, but I think I may be able to get my hands on an HP Jornada (32mb, color screen, the works) for about $45.


I hope this is for real.

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

that's way cool, i wouldn't mind paying ~50 for a PDA

 

[loup garou]

The only way it could possibly be that cheap is if it was stolen.

 

[hoihtah]

hehe... how would that be possible?

 

[Martin]

me neither. Although quality won't be top notch, but probably no worse than a used PDA.

I am hoping to get a mp3 player too.

Stolen goods are cheap..

You know Sadaam. He probably shot a rocket at a truck going through Saudi Arabia and stole all the goods and is now selling them for cheap.

 

[thereds]

I can guarandamtee you that you won't get a PDA for less than 50 bucks in SA.

You will only get this price if:
1. Its stolen
2. Its fake

 

[Martin]

Hmm, he just told me you can buy this for $20!!!

 

[Technics1200]

Marty, I don't know if you're lying. You are a "Member." But I highly doubt that you can get all that for those prices. Maybe your friend is lying and wants you to send him money. Is this a good friend of yours? Is he an American? Does he live in SA?

 

[StageLeft]

If that costs $20 its VERY stolen.

 

[ShizNitz]

I love the title of this thread!

 

[brxndxn]

I'd buy a stolen one for $20.. I just wouldn't know it was stolen.

 

[Martin]

They're not fake, since he got his computer from there (he's just there on vacation now) for $300. P700, 128mb, 19", 30gb and that was over a year ago...

So they're probably stolen (he's seen these prices on those open markets, the bazaars).

I'm not lying. He's a good friend and lives here in Toronto (we go to the same school), but is on vacation there. He has little reason to lie to me, since he'd buy the stuff with his money and then I'll pay him when he gets back in three weeks.

 

[dc]

no way he can get that nokia for $20. lol.

 

[trueimage]

umm yeah hook me up with some stuff

 

[zbose]

Oh man is your friend full of it. I grew up in Saudi Arabia, on a small camp named Dhahran... near Khobar. Everything is MORE expensive there, not less... Especially in the realm of electronics. Unless of course you are talking about cheap imitations or pirated pc games, then it is much much cheaper.

[johnstone]

hey i'll take a truckfull of those nokias for 20 a piece

 

[jahawkin]
