I'd like to share my experience here dealing with a fellow forumer.
I'm the buyer and he was selling a 'brand new' PDA supposedly won from lucky draw.
When i saw the box, it was a bit worn. But who cares bout the box anyway right.
Inside, everything looks brand new. The set, accessories, are all like just out from factory.
So i proceeded to check the set. The warranty seal from manufacturer is intact.
So the housing should be original & not changed.
But.. the date on the warranty stciker is 10/2008. It's now 09/2009.
So how can a brand new set be dated 10/2008 & it's a very popular PDA so i doubt there will be old stock.
Further check shows all the accessories were also dated 10/2008.
I got suspicious & checked the battery. The terminals on the battery shows that it has been used.
Like really used when 2 metal parts comes in contact. Unlike a brand new battery.
My common sense tells me something is just not right.
I did not purchase the set & i just want to tell this to you guys to beware.
Some forumers ARE selling USED sets as BRAND NEW !
