Title: [WTB] Asus eee pad transformer
Post by: nelisky on August 26, 2011, 10:26:05 PM
I know the HP Touchpad is all the rage now on the forum, but what I really want to get is an eee pad transformer. 16GB or 32GB, doesn't matter, with or without the keyboard, new or used in good shape, I'm not picky :)

Good price is what I'm looking for, shipped to Europe. Any takers?

Thanks for that. I had already seen your site, and there are three issues I have:
- Price - I can buy cheaper on amazon.co.uk (because I can get VAT refund) and that's including shipping
- Warranty - If I'm buying new, I expect to be able to easily exercise it if there is an issue. Shipping to the US, both in time and cost, is kind of a bummer.
- Origin - I really don't want to have this stopped at customs and pay VAT over it.

But I have seriously considered buying there, if only to help the bitcoin economy dynamics. In the end price won ;)

If you can, how much was the shipping charge that showed up? As for VAT, I could declare it it less valuable if you want.

6.5 for shipping, plus 54.31 for tablet == 60.81 ~= $526 (@8.665 24 avg) ~= £322.

amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-EeePad-Transformer-Tablet-Android/dp/B004TB0EMK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1314401287&sr=8-2 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-EeePad-Transformer-Tablet-Android/dp/B004TB0EMK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1314401287&sr=8-2)) is £343 - 20% VAT ~= £286 ~= $468

And of course I have it here in 3 days and they pay for returns if needed.

This is obviously not just for you but for anyone who might be interested in selling me on to have a base line :)

I might just use spendbitcoins and get it there is a better option doesn't come up in a few days.

Sounds like about $100 usd for shipping. which method is that? Express? shoot me an email with your address so i can look into alternative options for you, But i think that $100 is high for anything.
