Was supposed to be my time-waster overseas. Then kids happened. Now it's just lying here collecting dust. Was used literally just for PWI and Netflix since purchased at Incredible Corrup... I mean, Connection. Haven't even switched it on for about 6 months now.

Please note: After much wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, I am 100% convinced that this is a cursed item. 7 times I was either in the middle of; or concluding the deal; then something happens... I've been screwed around, thrice. One guy and his friend nearly vandalized my shit 'cause I wouldn't go for his lowball offer. Almost got scammed by some scummy fucking animal who sent fake POP via email and expected me to send the laptop with the courier he arranged for that same day. There was even someone who tried paying me with some counterfeit notes stuck neatly in between a stack of legit ones. Oh, and lastly the Hard drive bombed out. Still don't know why... So ja. I've almost given up selling this thing. If you choose to purchase this item, do so at your own peril. I will not be held accountable for any rivers turning to blood, or frogs raining down from the sky if you incur its wrath.

Also, bump.
 
Very Interested, I messaged You.
Thanx
 
Apologies. Forgot to update.

*On hold.
*4 in line (and counting.)

Will close the thread once everything is concluded.
 
Hi Crystelle. Technically, no. It's on hold, meaning that myself and another gentleman are currently in the process of negotiating the terms of our deal.

I will close this thread once the deal is done and everyone is happy; indicating the conclusion of this sale.
 
Update: Laptop still up for grabs. However, when I booted it up for someone's viewing pleasure during a video call, it came up with a BsOD error. Imagine that...

Hard drive gave in. Will be closing this thread until it's sorted. Maybe replace it with something similar, or perhaps an SSD... Assuming I haven't set this thing on fire and thrown it off the top storey within the next 30min or so.

Sorry guys and gals. Thank you for your interest though...
 
Updates:

So... I've replaced the 1Tb SSHD with a tiny (120Gb) SSD. Now it's running smoothly again.
 
Nope. Every time I think I've left this cursed thing behind like a flock of seagulls in my rear-view mirror, it pops up again infront of me like an undead hitchhiker. It's still here...

Cool, thanks. I'll add you. Uhm... Just FYI: It's better to share your personal details via PM. I've noticed that posting one's number on these threads is... frowned upon... Something about scammers using your number in one of their convoluted schemes? I dunno. It's probably in the rules somewhere.
 
here is my number if you want to whatsapp 0xxxx
Don't post your cell nb on a public forum, you will get scammed. keep to a DM or PM
