It has been over 30 days since I paid for it, even though the day before I actually did buy it I was told it would be with me within 3-5 days. Hmmm. I've had excuse after excuse. Oh, and thats when I do get a reply to my emails.<br /><br />Alarm bells didn't really ring until the day after I bought it via eBay the auction listing was taken down by eBay themselves. I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and wait until my laptop arrived, afterall they did say it would be with me before the end of the week. It didn't show up. I emailed only to be told that it would take up to 30 days to arrive, and that the 3-5 days I was quoted was only if the item was in stock. I was slightly confused. It looks like they told me what I wanted to hear just so I'd part with my money.<br /><br />Anyway, searching the net I've found a few more things about Expertpcs.<br />They've got a few bad ratings on eBid. You can see them <a href="http://uk.four.ebid.net/perl/normal.cgi?mo=user-rating&user=expertpcs&amp;type=feed">here</a>. Oh, and you can see their eBay feedback as well <a href="http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=expweb&iid=">here</a>.<br /><br />Delving even more I found that the guy who runs Expertpcs also has another eBay account, and seems to run this one a little bit better. Seems to sell a lot of baby clothes. See the feedback on his other account <a href="http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=forcemeat04">here</a>.<br /><br />I did notice that one of his auctions was for a hat. And guess what?? He modelled it on the auction!! Here is a pic:<br /><br /><a href="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/laptopless/7f_1_b.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/laptopless/7f_1_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />** UPDATE (12/6/06): I have had no emails to tell me whether or not orders have arrived. Has anyone actually received their laptop?? Emails with pictures would be welcome!!<br /><br />If you've had any dealings with Expertpcs that you would like to share email me @ lesslaptop@googlemail.com<br /><br />The wait continues...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29259645-114944331805462919?l=laptopless.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>laptoplessnoreply@blogger.com8
