Haven't got a clue! Have a look around for Optoma (Themescene) H30, and ask Big G for a review, as he had the same one and made me buy this one :)

As posted in another forum.

Not an eBay listing, but just a crosspost from another forum. If you don't like it, fuck off.

Hello, this is the first time I'm trying to sell stuff ever.
For now, I'm going to test the waters with the following items. Please excuse me if my prices are over-optimistic, I don't really follow second hand prices.

I have two Shuttle SN45G barebones systems.

Attached are a few pictures of them with the case off. They both have silver cases and both are in reasonably good shape. The insides are slightly scratched where they have come on and off, there are no major marks on the exterior. They are both boxed so they are ready to go. I think one of them has the upgraded PSU, SilentX 250w. They could be missing the PCI/AGP back plates, but I'm sure you can live without them.
I haven't used them for a few years so I might as well get rid of them. Asking £50 each including recorded mail or equivalent, though I don't know how much they are worth so reasonable offers are considered.

I have a Dell 2005 FPW for sale.

This is an older picture.

There it is alongside my old Dell 2407.

I don't know what revision it is, but it does have the backlight bleed that was common in all the old Dell widescreen monitors. As with all of those monitors you can only notice it when the monitor isn't displaying any picture or is displaying a very dark image. I don't have a picture of my backlight bleed, but I didn't think it was that severe, which is why I kept it until I got the Dell 2407 WFP Rev02 last year.
You can have this one for £100 quid, collected. Again, I don't really sell my stuff so I don't know what a decent price is, so all reasonable offers are considered.

I have a Zalman Reserator 1+

This is for spares/repairs. One of those white valve things snapped off while my brother was rearranging the room. Maybe you can get another one and drill out the whats remaining in the hole. I'll throw an unopened Zalman VGA Waterblock ZM-GWB2, if you come and get it.
£10, collected. Offers considered.

Thanks for looking. Keep the thread bookmarked as I have a whole load of rubbish to get rid of in the near future.

Who do we all use for international shipping? Somebody in Lithuania and somebody in Greece want me to send them what will be a 6kg package (a logitech momo wheel) and "books and pamphlets are the only items over 2kg that can be sent by Royal Mail’s international services".

I'm thinking it won't be worth it but hey, they want to know. :)

Do Not Under Any Circumstances Use Parcels 2 Go

Simple Warning, I Dont Need To Repeat Myself.


Bit of background :
1. Annoyed I can't use all caps to iterate the above highly enough.
2. They have a delivery failure rate and customer dissatisfaction rate higher than all the large courier companies put together, and that's not an exagguration.
3. When a problem occurs, which is frequent with them (obviously Clown has been VERY fortunate) it literally takes a matter of months, often more than 12, to sort things out. Conveniently lost paperwork, packages, they'll often try and confuse you by giving you an incorrect definition of some works like "manifest".
Google around and you'll see I'm not joking, exaggurating or pressing from a single bad personal experience.

I've used them twice, using DHL as a courier. Twice they have been fine and the package arrived within the time they said they would.

You seem to have issued with everything in the world Kryten, so TAKE ANYTHING KRYTEN SAYS WITH A PINCH OF SALT BECAUSE IF YOU LISTENED TO HIM YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE YOUR HOUSE!

Or maybe I have been fortunate with them. But then so has the person who recommended them to me. And the bloke who recommended them to the next one.

I'm certainly not always right, but it's just a matter of experience.
P2G do indeed run via DHL - however should problems occur, DHL won't have anything to do with you - other than through P2G.
And of course that's like hitting your head on a brick wall, repeatedly.

It's not as if I'm slagging off the notoriously unpopular Parce Force or anything - I don't like entrusting my packages with any 3rd party, however in many cases there's not a lot of choice, bearing in mind cost, speed, reliability et al.

I'm only looking out for people. As I said previously, I wasn't exaggurating in my claims even slightly. And I would hardly wish that sort of treatment upon anyone. Of course if it all goes fine, you've saved a few quid - but then again, 40 for a fuck from a well dressed, clean, massage parlour bound escort, or a tenner from a street corner hooker that smells like saxby's waste bins - easy choice :) Of course you might be lucky and *not* catch lots of crawly nasties for that tenner...

personally, from ebaying a decent amount, I would use DHL and seeing as you can do everything online now - its easy

Agree (kind of :) ) with Kryten, if you do use these P2G, your claim is between the 2 of you. You could be real lucky and save a few quid, but money cannot claim back the hours you'll spend filling out forms and call chasing people to reclaim your money if things go tits up, and the person waiting for the package will always... always get there money back, its just a lot of hassle for something that could be resolved so easily from the start.

best of luck sending the item, let us know what you decide! :D

It's not as if you can get away from DHL - I think they just about own every single major company in my area! :D

Not a problem with them in particular, just some of these sharks that piggyback :/

youd probably need to keep the goods, not sell them.
