    His feedback doesn't look bad. The number of negs and neutrals isn't too bad considering the volume, but it isnt perfect. His terms are written rather one sided, which only means he is protecting himself, but I know i dont like going into a store and seeing their return policy posted at every turn along with "you break it you bought it" signs. Not very welcoming. If it's a good deal, go for it. If it's a so so deal, maybe not.

    IMHO

    I would buy it, if I didnt mind buying internationally. Using Paypal can help you if you can get there buyer protection on it they would help you if it didn't work out. What about warantys though? Would it be valid outside AU?

    ta greaps...considering he has a shop set up there i dont see any major probs either. The worst can happen is the laptop H/D & they are common.

    You made me remember..i was in a commercial kitchen/chef supply shop one day in my bike gear. Im not what you would call a small fella & there wasnt a scrap of room to turn sideways inbetween the isles. But i managed to turn around & emptied a shelf of sholder height glassware, you should have heard the noise. The manager came running over & appoligised for my predicament & discounted what i did buy. I was cool to pay for it but he wouldnt hear of it. Sort of glad though, it would of been several hundred easily as it was all italian stuff.
