Is this a deal too good to be true? I dont think so, I think the price is accurate - unless its a mac, the value drops like a car once you bring the laptop/desktop/tablet home. Whats the post ? Any pics ? In fact, I would say $800 would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze_Zewi Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 At $850 for a 256GB SP3? Its a good deal. Have you ask the owner why he/she is selling it? defective, Buyers remorse? If they want meet in a isolated area to make a transaction, than my advice to you is avoid it. RedOak 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosense Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Doesn't hurt to check it out. He prob needs money. Meet him up and don't bring money. Meet at a crowded place next to a bank. Mockingbird 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in case deal goes bad) :ninja: assuming that pic was his house What I've done in the past is to meet someone at a dorm right under a security camera. I am assuming that if something is stolen, the thief wouldn't want to be caught selling it on camera. There's no metadata on the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
