Dell Inspiron 8100 (new model) with Intel Pentium III, 1.13 GHz with SpeedStep technology, 256 MB (1 piece), 40 GB Hard Drive, 14" Super XGA TFT Display, 32MB DDR 4X AGP NVIDIA GeForce 2 Go Video, internal CDRW/DVD combo drive, modular Floppy and build in 56K modem. Laptop also includes Lithium-Ion Battery, AC Adapter, Solutions Guide manual, CD-RW drive information update book, S-Video out cable, phone cable, External Ports include S-video Output, (2) USB, Parallel, Serial, monitor, keyboard/mouse, Headphone, Microphone, sound In, RJ-11 phone jack and 1394 IEEE. built in 10/100 3Com modem.

ill trade this laptop for the ps2 system with the "backups"
i will cross ship only. you should understand my reasoning for this.

thanks,

Matt

thats way to good to be true!
don't trust him

that laptop is about $2000 at dell

a new PS2 is $300
backups are probably worth $5-10 each

he'd have to be an idiot to do that deal

You're definatly getting a MUCH better deal then he is, no ps2 system is worth that laptop. That alone would set me to wondering if he's legit.

By definition, cross shipping is when you both drop the item in the mail the same day. Unfortunatly, there's no way to verify the other party has shipped.

Edit: Roger is the guy you need to talk to, I see he already replied. Trading on AT is much safer thanks to him :)

but my ps2 package has everything 100+ games, 2 ocntroller, emory card, gs2...eh
he wants to crossed ship, he said i shiped to his hoem in carolina, and give him the tracking #, and if verythign check thourgh, he will shipp the same day.
i'm thinking of sippign th enon expensive stuff first and see if he's gonna ship, nd if he does i'll shipped the ps2.
does the trcking # really do anthign beside showing u that it's being delivered??

My God. I normally don't harp much on spelling and grammar, but come on. You really expect people to understand what the hell you just wrote?
 

DO NOT TRADE WITH THIS PERSON

This is EXACTLY how alot of Trolls operate.
If he does not post here at AnandTech,Then DO NOT trade with him.

If he was a legit trader,he would be posting here.

45% of the complaints I recieve are from members getting burned by Trolls who contact them by email only.

The deal is too good to be true.

Both his heatware evals are fake. Neither are members at AnandTech like it says so on his heatware. There is no jacsgrl or empty_02 here.

DO BEWARE!
