How did this guy get his hands on this Dell Laptop?

8100

This has the ATI 7500 video card, which Dell just released a couple of days ago. How did this guy get his hands on this laptop with the 7500? Not to mention, he has had it long enough to auction it off.

I have no answer for you, but that is one SWEET laptop.

 

[mrCide]

ordered it and is selling it before he gets it?

 

[vi edit]

Dell employee possibly?

 

[antos351]

maybe he works for dell? or doesnt have laptop in his possesion but expects it by the time auction ends

 

[Kenji4861]

This may be an answer. I went to a community college for the summer and this guy says, he knows someone from the chinese mafia and they get laptops that aren't even out. He offered me one for $700. $700 is still BIG money to me, so I said no.

 

[BigLance]

WOWZA's

 

[Fastball]

Why would you order a laptop and sell it before you even receive it at a $1000+ loss? If he didn't want it, he could just send it back.

can you elaborate on this entire phrase a little more

 

[SuperGroove]

Sounds like he bought a Powerbook G4 Titanium.

The new I8100's use the Mobile PIII processor and produce less heat than the I8000... I am posting on a 1ghz I8100 now.. It IS still pretty heavy though... but worth it.

same here (see rig)

that vid card is very nice though, I might have to look into it

I would only buy an item selling for that much if I could pick it up. It is smoking, one way or another!

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

BTW, there's about 10 of these on Ebay right now.

He is a drugdealer :Q

I was at a friends and I saw it on the HSN. Maybe an employee of the HSN?

 

[Keego]

actually, since it comes w/ a docking bay also, these are most likely either hot or an employee, they would retail for almost 4k, and they're going for 2.7k? unimpossible

You and your friend watch HSN at their house?

LMAO

 

[Keego]

dude, Ross, don't tag on the HSN, I watch it all the time.. think of it as a visual Hot Deals section




lol no really, go buy a gamecube or xbox or ps2 or something, stop watching the HSN!

 

[RossMAN]

It just isn't the same, no price matching, no coupon codes, no eBates, no elaborate MIR schemes, but you do have a valid point.

DUDE...... He's gettin' a Dell!

Little Footnote:
This system was custom made for one of our employees who left the company due to necessary restructuring. This circuumstance gives one lucky bidder/winner the opportunity to get a very advanced system for considerably less than Retail or SmallBusiness!!! And that is a fact.
You can bid on this auction with the certainty that this system exists and will be shipped to you. We already auctioned another system as well as other items (feedback!).
And if you look around the auctions of others, you will find that those systems have mostly less features/equippment and sometimes are offered by "Just Opened Accounts" and/or "Those ugly Glasses" and some Auctions are even listed several times(!!!). You be the Judge.

It claims he is an ex-employee at the bottom, and that this system was custom-made for him.
