me toooo
That's a great offer, I'm impressed. So now my second ever Sony product is also a liseuse. Hopefully I will manage not to lose this one. Thanks for finding this for us. I hope we all put "Tripitaka at mobileread.com" as the "how did you find this" when we ordered. |

Well that's completely crap, I just got an email from them saying "We are sorry to inform you that the ordered item(s) is not available in this region". I suspect that they mean "we sold you something that we don't have", because they had shipping costs and everything available to Australia.
most peeved. Anyone in the ook want to reship one to me? Last edited by moz; 02-15-2009 at 05:51 AM. |

I'd guess that actually mean that they're out of stock, rather than they won't ship to you. Earlier it was saying something like "22 items in stock", but now it's just the generic "Normally less than 5 days", which I suspect is their default 'out-of-stock' status .

Here's a question for people more familiar with expansys: Are they going to have more stock and is this a permanent sale? For this price? .. I'll get money next month and I think I know where to spend it now.

The Expansys website says : Quote:
I guess the seller was Sony who refurbished a limited stock coming from returns and handed it to Expansys. It's possible that the offer come back in a few weeks/months, although given the speed at which this batch of PRS-505 was sold it's possible they increase the price. |

Thanks Faenad. But damnit, I was already looking forward to having an e-ink device. Now I have to rethink my priorities a bit as waterstones is a 100€ more expensive to buy from.

In Australia we call that dodgy. Also illegal, but obviously laws vary between countries. |

Well fair enough. You've obviously had more experience with them than I have. Maybe I'm being harsh? It isn't the way I'm used to being treated by a business and isn't the way I would treat my customers is all. Not very ethical imho. Nah, I'll stand by Dodgy until they prove me wrong.

Ordered a silver one from Expansys on Friday and it was delivered by Royal Mail on Saturday. At the time of ordering, they had 46 left. Had to do a firmware upgrade.

They are dependent upon their suppliers for the delivery information. If the supplier gets it wrong, that's outside their control.

I've made my order Saturday morning. I think there were like 6 units left when I made the order. The status is still "Not processed"... Let's see what happens...
