Lukily Immy sorted me out in MM :D

For those of you who are still after one, it is always a good idea to keep an eye on the Members Market, as you never know what might just appear on there! ;)

at those prices i would rather get a galaxy or transformer than buy a blatantly used model being passed off as new.

care to explain why it needs to be reset to factory defaults if its not been used?

I have been 100% honest and up front in my posting, and as I entered in an email address to check it out, and installed Angry Birds as a download check, I would naturally prefer to reset it, so as to be on the safe side.

It has literally only been switched on a couple of times, but as things stand at the moment, I need the cash more than I need the TouchPad!

I nearly wet myself when reading £45 for a user guide which can easily be downloaded as a PDF and viewed on the device itself. Why would you even get a guide professionally printed.

Because I like to have a properly bound 'hard copy' of this sort of thing, for easy 'off-line' reference.

Had I realised that it would cost quite as much, then I would probably not have proceeded though! :eek:

I think you'll struggle to shift it on here at that price. The ebay market is full of these at much lower prices. Not many people will want to pay for your printing mistake :p

LOL and you expect someone else will want a paper guide that costs nearly half the price of the RRP of the Touchpad? You must be a poor businessman if you dont check the cost of things before you get them done and then to have the audacity to shift that mistake onto another forumite - poor show...

Just LOL @ £45

ps3ud0 :cool:

OK guys... point taken... no need to rub it in! :o

Not quite sure why my MM post has been moved to the "Audio & Visual" section though, but at least it does still appear to be vissible in both.

I am now seriously considering a price reduction, as I accept that is not really fair, of me to pass the effect of my mistake onto others, and I would like to be seen to be doing the right thing, as it were.

Hopefully the Guide is worth something to someone... but obviously not anywhere near as much as I paid for it!
