Which way does it work, do they give u money up front or try to sell the stuff for u and then give u the money they get minus their share or what ?

If they give u the money up front are the prices fair ?

They pay in advance and are legit, have no been in myself but hear good reports.

I'd say they fleece you on the amount they give you.

I asked here as i was about to go down to them With a desktop, flat screen monitor, web cam, and speakers. The computer which is about 2 years old and runs vista, 2 gig of ram, 320 gb HDD. Not a single flaw about it.

Who can guess what I was offered?

Darksaga87

No, the idiots dont know a good computer from thier gom head faces.

All they wanted it for was the housing! :rolleyes:

bottomdog

30 euro, sure they may as well have offered nothing, thought you'd say about €100.

Darksaga87

Even if i was offered €100 i still would have considered it feck all, €30 was just an insult.

Jebus they sound like a bunch of chancers. I hate those type of places. I always feel they are preying on people.

you should try our banks . well if someone has something they no longer need its a good place to sell it too, and if someone has a tight budget , its a good place to but from. No harm done. But it can be sad to see desperate people having to sell well below the value they may place on an item.

Unless they're very tech savvy I'd imagine they don't take many risks with computers and stuff. They're still lowlives taking advantage of people though. Wonder how many people are actually that stuck for €30. Are they local?

€30 for a desktop PC with 2GB Ram, 320GB HDD, monitor, webcam and speakers included?

And you're now looking to sell it for €180?


Am I reading something wrong here? Surely a PC like that, even second hand, would be worth about 300-400 euro?


What are they like to buy from, out of curiousity? Prices any good? Any decent items or is everything battered old crap?

i have tried selling it for that, and its worth about that.

But as ya know, its all laptops now.

I wouldnt buy anything thats technicall off them, like computers as ive seen first hand, they have no idea what they are looking for in a PC.

If they see a laptop running windows ME or something, they will offer you top buck for it because - its a laptop, then sell it to someone who knows nothing about laptops and ask's them for a"laptop", as we all know, there are certain things a PC must have, to them, a PC with a lid will sell for 100's even if its only worth a pack of smokes.

When i went in, they had a second hand blu ray player in the case, with they were selling for about 300, when i worked in currys over 2 months ago, that model was being sold at RRP €180.

Fúck them, they wont get my money or my usless crap rotting in my house, I hope to see them burn out and fade away to the dole Q's with all thier uselss shít that they have aquired over the past 6 months.

if anyone wants a desktop - gimme a shout!;)

It's a pawn shop. Pawn shops rip everyone (buyer and seller) off equally :-)
That shopping centre is like a ghost town! I heard they're renting out the shops for €100 a week with no minimum lease term.

eBay's your only man in situations like this.

Please refrain from the use of bad language and insulting people making a living. They are within the law and people have freewill to deal or not deal with them. No need to 'b'stardise' them.

bottomdog,

Since when did you become a MOD, and what is the bad language you are refering to.
These gentlemen in question are preying on vulnerable people, and offering them a pittance for ther valuables and selling them for a much greater profit, next thing you know they will be lending money for christmas to the same vulnerable people who in turn will not be able to pay it back. What then mr bottom.

bottomdog

let's not judge others...perhaps people need this money and have nowhere else to turn. Money lending is desperate I agree and I sadly have personal experience of it..

These places are out to screw you. They prey on the poor and fleece them. They have no idea what they are buying or what price they should pay.

I went in to one in Dundalk for a test to see what they would give me. I have a white gold rigg with three diamonds in it worth about €500. I asked what they would give me for it. They said €30. I laughed and said goodbye.

I can understand people that are in need of money but for what these cowboays pay out it's not worth it.

Sell privately.

Brashers

i'v been in once with a few x box games. idiots only offered €1 each but were selling the same for €20 on the shelf behind them.
looks like the guy with the twisted nose couldnt find his arse with his two hands tied behind his back. stay away from these places. you would get a better deal from d the knackers

Just Got 85 cash off them for me guitar! :cool: Happy daze !!!

Way off... you could prob buy a laptop / desktop brand new for that price. If its any brand other then sony then just keep it or give to kids. Worth about €50 - €75. What brand, processor, kind of monitor, graphics card?

I took in my old printer (when I say 'old', I mean it was almost three years old) to those chancers late last year. It was still working grand but I wanted to clear space for the new printer/scanner/copier I bought.

Feckers only offered me €25 for it. :mad:
