[dannybin1742]

why is shipping so retarded high?

 

[dannybin1742]

how do you guys get these shipped so cheap?

 

[imported_Mike]

you have to choose the free shipping option and the system before-sale price has to be above $350

 

[dannybin1742]

ok i'll try that

 

[dannybin1742]

so those of you who are making money doing this, generally what do you look for at what price, and how much does it normally sell for on ebay?

sounds somwhat lucrative, and i need ot make som extra money to feed my builing addiction

 

[czech09]

Damn I bought another 2 now...as long as I sell these and turn some profit on them I'll be happy...the drops are definetly crap so far today though...

Try to get something with a Dvd burner or the Ati x300 card around or under $350 w/a 160gb hdd and 512mb of ram. It's all about finding it first they're truly gone within seconds of being posted even @ this time...btw you are my new hero lol biochem is awesome - the bio physics a little less but ya biochem rocks read part of the article I presume you're in grad school?

Edit: After fees and shipping you should be making around $100 +/- per comp. Bamacre sold some for around $200 profit but he also bought them about $50 cheaper than everyone else on here my goal is just $100 per each comp I bought - bought 5 so $500 will be nice or anywhere in that vicinity.

I have a pending order at Dell SB for their deal right now: 3ghz, 512mb ddr2, 40gb, 48x cdrw, 1704fp, free printer for $620 after tax and rebate. I'm posting this note and refreshing for those deals on a amd k6 laptop. I think I should....no...NEED to have the priority.

So guys, give it a break and go to sleep.

Should've never kicked the box that my comp was in during my move back from college.....damn it.

Nope but got a 3.0 one w/512mb ram, dvd burner x300ati card for $360...now just to figure out how to drop the other one I picked up...do you know how to do that? I'm on the last page about to pay but noticed that I just want one ? I know if I go back it'll probably drop out of the cart...

I don't and had the same trouble eariler. Once you go through to payment I think you have to just submit and then call to cancel the other part. I did this with a pair of speakers that got added on.

 

[czech09]

God damn m*therfockers...took it out of my cart I had to change the payment method and then also drop one of the items darn it...
