Everyone seems to think that iPhones are worth more than Samsung phones on Craigslist and there is always someone trying to trade their 4 for an S4. I would argue that an S2 is better than a 4.

It's not bad in the specs department, but it's about 6x more expensive than needed.

I get people practically trying to give mark I's and II's away at the local camera hub

in short, its not worth $800 just for starting for a 8.2mp dslr

I bought one the other month for that. They are really nice routers because you can custom firmware them and get the router to send wireless G signal to a mile.

 

There are many 802.11n routers that come with custom firmware flash capability and support built in and cost no more than $25 bucks.

The drives are most likely Crucial M5 960GB SSDs. $560 each. The Mac is worth $800. The 16GB RAM is about $120. And the data doubler kit is worth $40. So, nowhere near $3000.

I've seen pretty bad deals over the years, but they all have something in common. They are never sold. So I don't really care if someone thinks he can get almost brand new price from an used product. They realize soon enough that nobody is so stupid to pay high price for their product so they have to bring the price down.

 

Usually the worst deals can be seen on used cars. Somebody honestly thinks that he can get a premium price from an old car with high mileage. The best adverts are those where the seller says he doesn't have to sell the car and if nobody pays what he asks for it, he's gonna send it to the scrap yard. :rolleyes:

HP wanted to charge me $500 for a new 1TB HDD with the OS on it to replace the one in my HP computer that was broken... even thouigh I had the recovery CDs and I could do it myself. But it got me thinking, someone who is not computer literate might have no other choice than to buy a $500 HDD from the company when theirs fails. It irritates me.

I get 60 frames at 1080p on a dual core APU. Ask me how.

Well the fact that it is compatible and that motherboard probably doesn't support 10 SSDs, yes

Moron on CL wants $250 for a "New" 2006 HP Pavilion a6123 Pentium E2140 1.6Ghz 512MB RAM 160 SATAII 7200 HD. I don't know what they mean by "new", but its BS either way.

Have you stopped and thought that these 'morons' are trying to make money? If they've got an unopened PC from 2006, they will try to sell it. You've posted on this thread at least 5 times calling them jackasses and morons. As long as people buy them, it's the customer that's the moron.

$90 for 3TB Seagate drive. Apparently its never been used...

That's pretty freaking good! A 2TB costs $99 in Aus on our PC site.

 Is it still a "pretty freaking good"  deal when the drive dies in 3 days?
