Title: [WTB] eee pad transformer, was iPad 2
Post by: nelisky on June 22, 2011, 12:39:49 AM
I can't find one locally, and it is supposed to be a gift for an oncoming birthday, but after a month of moving delivery times I'm starting to fear it will just not make it so:

I'm buying an iPad 2, preferably 32GB but can be 16 or 64, preferably new and unopened but will consider 'like new', no need for 3G. The only caveat is that I want it sent from Europe, or I may just end up waiting on customs instead.

Will pay with bitcoins, have no set price so make your bid.

Thanks!

EDIT: I think I have the iPad covered, but I want to buy an eee pad transformer 32GB for myself. Terms as above if anyone is interested in doing this for bitcoins.

Price seems good, but I need a little more detail; age, warranty, language (can I change it?), original box and accessories included? Oh, and of course, is it 'like new'? :)

The Ipad 2 works 100%, and has only been used four times, there is a light dent at the bottom left corner, and also the screen has a small smash on the top right corner! under apple warranty until april 4 2012, comes in original box with usb cable and charger

Do you have pictures with enough detail to show the dent and smash you can upload somewhere and PM me the link? Also, from which country would you be shipping from?

Ouch, how did you do that using it 4 times? I guess it only needs to be dropped once :)

Anyhow, not gift capable material, I'm afraid and even taking in account current exchange rates 50 coins is 75% of the brand new price on the store, so I guess I'll pass, sorry.

I would haggle a bit if it was for me, as it is working 100%, but not to offer to someone else.

Thanks anyway!

I can do a new 32gb iPad 2 sealed for 55 btc while current tradehill rate holds.  I can ship internationally. 

It would take about a week for me to ship.

Where would you be shipping from? And why a week? I was hoping for something quicker, given apple store says 1 to 2 weeks. The price sounds about right, at current $16/btc rate but given mtgox is opening soon we might want to see how that goes first...

Verizon == US? I don't need 3G, but I'd rather get a 64GB than a 16GB (32 being the sweetspot), but if it is indeed US that's a deal breaker as explained on the original post. If not US, what price would the iPads be going for, in the origin currency?

Oh, yeah, I'm US! >.< I can ship international if you're willing to wait on it. I've good experiences with Shipping to Canada ;D But yeah, if you're Europe, Verizon 3g is a nogo for sure! You might have better luck proxy buying from apple.

A week because that is how long it takes my supplier to get a new one to me.  I understand about waiting, if you are interested PM me here and I will get started on it for you.

Now you are just kicking me when I'm down :) Some 95% of all I buy on the States gets stopped at customs, which means 3~4 weeks of waiting and an extra 23% (VAT) + some fees. That really sucks.

I need something that gets shipped from Europe.

You are evil... ok, tell you what, tell me what price you'd make for the 64GB wifi shipped with tracking (so I know if it gets stopped at customs). I would need it to carry an invoice with a low, yet believable value if possible.

Was a sale made? If so how did it turn out? Any issues or suggestions for others looking to purchase an iPad 2 with bitcoins?

Yeah, you never got back to me on the price :) 20% off is great, but off of what? heh

Anyway, I believe I have found one locally, will know for sure tomorrow. Now I'm looking for an eee pad transformer 32GB (this one is for myself, not as picky as to cosmetic state), anyone?
