Sell Sony PRS-950 BNIB-$349 or best offer

Japes · 07-26-2011, 05:02 PM

With Free shipping. There was some drama here, on this thread:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=142847

As to whether or not I was being fair with my pricing (I started asking $299 and lowered to $280), before I took it off, and sold it on ebay, and it ended up selling for $345, plus $10 shipping, as seen here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-PRS-950SC-P...item3cba0b11ed

As I pointed out (and as simple research would have shown anyone), I was practically GIVING it away at $280 (and even at $299 for that matter). Well, I have one left. I'm asking $349, and will ship for free anywhere in the contiguous 48 states.

I will consider a reasonable offer, approaching the asking price of $349.

It's brand new, in box, and I will include a copy of the receipt as purchased from Best Buy.

The eBay link you provide includes an ad from Staples, where the 950 is being sold brand new for 299.

Congrats on the arbitrage, though.

They are out of stock (just called them...check for yourself). Nice try though. Try again.

Japes · 07-26-2011, 07:22 PM

By "checking" I mean I called. They are not in stock (despite what it might say on the website).

No "nice try," just thought it funny that in your eagerness to stick it to those you'd quibbled with last time you inadvertently provided a link that undercut your price.

I happen to agree with you: it's worth what someone will pay.

Good luck and please follow up and let us know what it goes for.

I did just take a look on Staples.com and found the 950 for $299.

JSWolf, way to point out what has already been pointed out, however, had you taken the time to read my response, you would have seen that I actually CALLED them and they are NOT in stock (contrary to what the website claims). I would urge you to do the same. Please don't take my word for it.

And, aren't you the same person that felt my first asking price of $299 (then lowered to $280) was too much? I got $345 for it on ebay. I will likely get about that much the second time around, if not more (they are routinely selling over $400, with buy it now sellers).

Advice for potential buyers:

Sony will be releasing new Reader models soon so if you can wait and are not looking specifically for the PRS-950, you should consider it:
